Fish - July 2007

I purchased the first female beta and later purchased another female beta. They flared up and started attacking each other. I've separated them but they can still see each other (they still are trying to kill each other). Can I put them in one fish bowl in a week or so or will they always be separated?

I feed my betta twice a day. In the morning I feed him two Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellets - here is a picture of it: http://www.aquatichouse.com/Fish%20Food_files/betta%20bio-gold.asp

Then in the afternoons I feed him a small chunk of frozen food. For the frozen foods I thaw the small chunk in a small amount of water for a couple of minutes.


Here is the schedule of his afternoon feedings:

Sunday - frozen brine shrimp

Monday - frozen blood worms

Tuesday - fresh batch of live black worms I get from a local pet store.

Wednesday - frozen blood worms

Thurday - the same live black worms.

Friday - frozen blood worms

Saturday - frozen krill


Keep in mind, I feed him the pellets every morning. For the black worms, the pet store gets a new shipment every Tuesday so I feed him a fresh batch on Tuesday, and then on Thursday where I throw out the remaining black worms.

He eats everything and still looks healthy and active..just want to make sure his diet is ok

Hi,
I was wondering could I add freshwater sand to my betta and 4 bronze cories in my 10 gallon aquarium? Currently it has 11/4" of natural colored gravel and a 10 gallon tetra whisper external power filter. I was thinking of added 2" of either black or natural colored sand for the cories to burrow in. Any advice would be very appreciated. Aslo, with sand, can I add any live plants?

I am almost 100% sure that my guppy is expecting fry. I don't know alot about the birth process, signs, and what to do afterwards. Every source I look at says something different than another source, and I am constantly torn and I don't know what to believe. Some people say the gravid spot is under the anal fin, some people say its above it. My guppy is orange in color (in case you need that information) and her stomach is starting to look very very big. She is also taking on a boxy shape from the front and isn't eating as much. Here is the link for a picture that similarily looks like her: http://guppyplace.tripod.com/preghby.jpg Her stage of pregnancy looks very similar to this one; body shape. I see the dark gravid spot on this picture, but I'm just not seeing it on my guppy. Anyways, my question is, do all pregnant guppies have distinctly visible gravid spots? Is my guppy pregnant with no gravid spot, or has it simply not appeared yet? If you're an experienced owner, please help!

I have a 30 gal hex tank. It has 4 guppies, 3 platys, four neons and four rummy nose plus 3 baby corys and a pictus. Is my tank full? Can I add? If so, what can I add? And, Can I move the pictus to a 10 gal tank w/ a male betta?

2007-07-16 05:17:57 · 8 answers · asked by Tina N 4

I started out with 6 black neons. About 3 of them died. I then added two guppies, they both died. Another two black neons died, leaving just 1 black neon in the tank. I added 3 more black neons, all 3 new ones were dead within a couple of weeks.

What is going wrong? Is the one original black neon that I have had from the start killing all the other fish? Surely it can't be a water quality problem, or even the one surviving neon would have died. Right?

i have a 29 gal tank with about 25" of fish (i must allow four inches because two of my fish will eventually get 2'' bigger)
anyways, my tank looks empty even with 14 fish in it. Furthermore, i have never ever ever had one single trace of nitrate in my tank. I change the filter once a month and do a water change 1 or 2 times a month. Why am i restricted to 29 inches of fish in my circumstances? Where did this rule come from? Why?

Once you've had an outbreak of ich and treated it, does it still remain in the tank? Is it always in the tank? If you add new fish and they DONT have ich, can they pick it up from the tank? If you have plants or decorations in that tank and move them to another tank, will you be spreading ich to the new tank? Is it always living in your tank just waiting for an opportunity to strike or is it gone once you treat it successfully?
