Fish - August 2007

1. The instructions on my filter says that I should replace the filter cartridge every four weeks. I thought bacteria were supposed to develope in the filter so how can they if I replace the cartridge monthly?
2. The other day I fished something out the aquarium with my hand. Just then I realized that I had just washed them with anti-bacterial soap. Can this act kill off the bacteria I am trying to grow?

I won it at a carnival and I have in a in a small tank. I have put a little flake of food and a bloodworm. It only ate 2 blood-worms. The fish stays at the bottom of the tank to one side always. Twice its almost gone crazy like swimming around. Is something wrong or is it just in shock?

I have recently fed my Red Devil, Tiretrack Eel, and Jack Dempsey some nightcrawlers. The red devil is now acting very funny and wont eat food. All of the other fish seem to be doing fine. The reason i got these was to feed the eel, and the other fish would take them before i could get it down to him. The devil is very sluggish and not exactly swimming right. he is usually highly aggressive as well, but not at this moment. Is there anything i can do? Is it the night crawlers that made him sick or could it possibly be something else?

10 gal tank.
1 guppy left. (4 died/disappeared 3 months ago, plan to get more when store have stock)

about 6 wks ago, we bought 2 chinese algae eaters, because there were too much algae build up... within 1 wk.. 1 disappeared. I turn the tank upside down, took out the gravels, checked the filter... nothing was found. Today... my second algae eater disappeared, too! what gives?!

Do guppies eat algae eaters? Aren't guppies non-aggressive?! How/why do fish disappear? It's not the first time in our tank!

Just happened to go to Walmart yesterday (not that I shop there) and I went by the fish aquariums and I was shoked at the conditions of the fish. There were so many fish that were dying. I have some koi at home and seeing how bad of a condition the koi were in I wish I could have bought them all to save them. They had scales missing, eyes sucked in, broken fins and pink lines in their fins from ammonia burn and they were just floating around half dead. Just another reason why I hate Walmart (fish cruelty)!
