I have a 10 gallon tank and I recently switched from using bottled water to tap water. I bought Aqua Safe which relieves the tap water from any chemicals that may be harmful to fish. You're supposed to add 7 drops per gallon so I obviously used 70 drops. My question is when I do my 20% water change every week, should I leave my fish in or take them out because I'll be using tap and Aqua safe? Am I supposed to add the Aqua Safe to my aquarium after I replace 20% of the water or should I add the aqua safe to the new water before I put it in? Also since I'll be doing a 20% water change, do I have to add all 70 drops or just enough for the new water? Thanks to all that answer!

Several hours after a partial water change, I noticed eggs sitting on a leaf. How do I know if they're fertilized or not? Should I transfer the stalk to a 2 gallon tank so that the adult fish don't eat them? My largest danio (I'm uncertain as to whether it's male or female) just died; its fins were battered and torn. Is this related to the breeding?

The lump is on the left side of the body. Also my sister claims that it looks like there is a gray ball in the lump.

Can you mix rainbow sharks (red-finned) with gold sharks (albino red-finned)? I wanted to mix 3 sharks, Bala Sharks grow too big for my 30G.

I am trying to decide what type of aquarium to have and what type of fish to get. I am thinking of having gouramis and tetras, but not sure. Can someone give me a list of 1) good beginner coldwater fish, and 2) good beginner tropical fish ? I'm trying to decide, and it's difficult. How many and what kind of fish could I put in a 12 gallon tank? Or smaller (my mom is being stubborn, and also I have to have this aquarium in a dorm room; I was thinking of getting an Eclipse System 12 aquarium).

Advice?? Suggestions? Experienced fishkeepers, please help.

Hi,

I have a 22L tropical tank setup. Currently, I have 2 peppered catfish and 2 guppies (1 male, 1 female). What would be the maximum number of fish for this size tank, and what are your suggestions for fish to add? I am also considering adding some glass shrimp - if I can just find a store that sells them.

What are your thoughts?

I put a large shell in my fish tank. It's been in there for about six months. The shell is usually a red-ish brown color but when it drys out it stays white. I tried scrubbing it with a tooth brush but it still has the white color. Any ideas on how to get the shell back to the natural color? Does this mean the shell color is fake? Any help at all!!?? I really liked this shell.

Thanks. Anna

I plan to get more fish when I get home. What kind of fish do you reccomend? Also naming them, too? Would guppies be bad? I heard that the mothers eat their babies. Is this true?

i have a community fishtank with a few varieties of fish. the ideal temp. for all of them is around 80. with the very warm weather even without the heater running, the lights off, and the tank is out of the sun the temp. in the tank is almost reaching 90 degrees. since i use bottled spring water for the tank i thought about making a couple icecubes and putting them in the tank to cool it off. i want to know if it'll harm any of the fish or if there are any better ideas on how to cool off without changing alot of the water. i dont want to cause too much of a shock to them.

ok here's the deal. I only had 4 guppies in a 10 gallon tank so i decided to get more fish after my vacation to Canada (yay!). I looked it up and found online that any small tetra goes with blue neon guppies so i went out and bought 4 tetras (i have forgotten the species that they are). Anyway i decided to drug up the tank before i left so that it would be amonia free, clorine free, etc. so after my vacation i added the fish. I just got home from seeing Transformers (2 thumbs up!) about 20 minutes ago to find 3 of the four guppies dead! i have no idea why! That's where you come in. the water is slightly acidic, but they like it that way! But it can't be something wrong with the water bc/ then they ALL would be dead! The guppies lived about 3 months before hand so they were not sick. there were no marks on the guppies that showed an attack by another fish and 2 of the dead 1s were babies so it couldn't have been old age! Help!

I just watched that and lots of people are saying goldfish can't remember past 3 seconds ago. If thats the case, then why do they swim to the top of the tank when they think you're about to feed them?
