I have had my 4 kissing fish for about a year and a half they have done fine about a month ago I added 5 small zebra danios and 5 guppies ( 30 gal tank) but 2 days ago one of my kissers was floating and when I got home today another one was dead they all looked perfectly healthy it was swimming around this morning and was eating. I have not really done anything different did a 50% water change 2 weeks ago. How long do gouramis usually live ? could they have just died from old age or could it be something else ? all the other fish look fine the other 2 kissers are acting normal too

I have had a female swordfish in my 2.5 gallon tank for about 2 months. It has always been really twitchy, everytime i come near the tank, it darts around like it's really scared, I have never had a good close up look of it without scaring it.

The other night, I noticed that it had settled to the bottom corner of the tank (nothing unusual) but was still about .5cm above the bottom. I took closer look and the fish did not dart around the tank like it usually does. I even tapped at the tank and shook it a little bit to see if the fish would react. By this time it had completely settled on the bottom of the tank. The only thing i noticed was that it's tail seemed to be curved to the right, it seemed theat the fish was tense or something.

I thought it was going to die, but after a few minutes it started to swim around, then it reacted to my presence by darting around the tank again.

can anyone tell me whats wrong with my fish? I noticed similar behaviour yesterday afternoon...

My 12 year old son wants cichlids for his fish tank, not even sure yet what kind. He has a Mystery Snail in it, if he does get cichlids, will they bother it? If so, what specific type might not bother the snail?

I was told that aquarium owners convert small freshwater fish to saltwater. I tried searching for it, but only gives me aquariums not fish. I'd appreciate any help.

I will be moving into an apartment that has no air conditioning. We may still have a few heat waves blow through, so I'm wondering how I might keep my fish tank under 78F if it gets too warm outside.

Thank you in advance. ^_^

My guppie as this dark stuff by the end of her tail. But looking at her other babys they have it too. I know that she was in with a male about a month ago. But he was only 3 or 4 months old and I am not sure if he got to her or not. I noticed she is fat. But she has all of the color in her tail if that means anything. If someone could answer this ASAP I would really appriceate it. We are going on vacation for a week and there is a filter in with the female. If she is pregnant and she gives birth, the filter or my fish will surely get the babys. What should I do? I will try to get pics if I can. My computer at home is down.
