Fish - August 2007

I am looking for a store (besides PetsMart, PETCO, or Pets Supplies) that sells fresh water aquarium fish. I am specifically looking for some Loaches (YoYo Loaches) to help combat a snail outbreak in a 30 gal tank.

So I am looking for a place near Lisle, Glen Ellen, Downers Grove etc. that would carry fresh water aquarium fish.

Thanks

He is red.

I had my betta in a glass vase that was about 2 gallons. I decided he needed a bigger home so I bought him a 5 gallon hexagon tank with a filter and a light. I was wondering is that big enough?

Also, are there any fish I can put in there with him? I feel bad for him that he's all alone but I dont know if he'll get along with other fish or not. Can I put a female betta in there? Or will they fight or breed constantly?

My pet yabbie is carrying eggs for the 2nd time but yet again they seem to be disapearing. Why would this be happening do they miscarry or something? or could she be eating them?

I have a 10 gallon aquarium with 3 rather small goldfish..every 2 weeks i am siphoning out the gravel and removing about 30% of water..Is this a proper procedure, ya think? Should i leave the filter on when i do this, or turn off? Do you think i should change the water less frequently...perhaps about once a month since not many fish? i do use the Start up drops, i have been turning the filter off when i empty water...but it seems so dirty in the tank in the midst of siphoning the water with the filter off. Please advise?

They are two years old and are in an outdoor pond during the summer and are wintered indoors in a large aquarium. One fish turned white within a couple of weeks after coming indoors for the winter, and now I notice that another one is turning white. Any ideas?

Earlier I had two Gouramis in my tank, a male Opaline and a female 3 spot Gourami. today i added 2 female Gouramis, a Platinum and a Gold Gourami. My female 3 spot felt jealous that the male wasn't paying any attention to him so she started to dance around the male and she hit her head on a rock. Now She has a large patch of missing scales on her head. I think she damaged her brain because occasionally she spins in circles. The other females don't bother her, is there anything I can do to help the 3 spot Gourami heal or is she going to be handicapped for the rest of her life? I already treated the tank with Medicine to fight any infections. the temp, nitrate and ph levels are fine.

Plz don't give me info about Gouramis, I know how to differentiate male and female by their fins and girth and behavior etc. Or that I should separate the fish because they are not aggressive towards each other. I want to know if I can help the 3 spot in any way, or if it will heal on its own. plz help!

I found a site that said this stuff about betta metabosism is it true?

1.5 gallons is 6 quarts and that's a pretty big fish bowl. We might put one Betta in a half gallon bowl but 1.5 gallons is much better.
Notice we recommend putting the bowl in a cool part of your home where the water is 65 to 75 degrees F. not 78 to 80. The lower temperature allows more oxygen in the water and less fish waste because the animals' metabolism is slower.
The cultured gravel provides a lot of surface area that is covered with the essential nitrifying bacteria that turn fish waste into harmless residue.
We recommend that you change 20% of the water at least twice a week and replace it with bottled drinking water.
We recommend tha you feed Tetra BettaMin and Tetra Delecta Freeze Dried Blood Worms, because these foods float and leave less residue than most foods.
We strongly recommend you check your fish bowl 10 minutes after each feeding. If there is any uneaten food, remove it with a small

Do you need an undergravel filter to have a powerhead or does a powerhead have a motor of its own?

Does anyone know how to take care of a horseshoe crab? i already know their diet (mostly worms, shrimp, etc.), but is there anything specific that they need? Should their tank be completely filled with water, or should their be a land area, too? Do they need a special type of water? How big should the tank be? Please, help!

I just sat down at my computer and noticed that on both sides, right around my bettas gills it's very light. It's a shiney bright red. I dont know what is wrong with it. I got it about a week ago. It's in a 2.5g filtered tank. A small live plant is in the tank. I'm been feeding it Aqua Culture Betta pellet food. It is a moderatly (sp?) active dark blue betta with bright green in him. He's been eating fine. He does not seem to be bloated. His scales are not sticking out. I dont know what else to say. I dont know what of this will help. I know quite a bit about fish but I still dont know a lot of the illnesses. Please help.
