Fish - August 2007

My daughter wants a pleco for our 60 gallon tank. We have 27 community fish in it, 10 cory's, neon's, danio's, male guppies, rasbora's. I am curious if a pleco is aggressive especially as it gets huge and will it attack or eat the cory's or other fish as soon as the light goes out? I would never want to hurt my fish I have or put them in danger. Thanks!

Bu I need to know a type of fish that does well alone (not in a group), what kind of mattinence that fish requires and any way to convince my parent that I am old enough and responsible enough to get one.
If possible it would be nice if it was pretty and could live in a fish bowl although these are not musts.

i have an oscar tank that has some kind of worm in it at 1st i thought they were mosquito larva because we had been feeding them frogs from outside and we have a swamp like thing in the woods that fills every summer so i thought mosquitos came in on them but ive been trying to treat it and the worms have only gotten worse but mosquito LARVA cant breed so i know its not that plus i havent seen any mosquitos in our house they kind of look like worms that a dog could get but i dont think those can live in just water i thought they had to live in a stomache or something but i need help and i need to know what they are because whatever they are they are making the tank VERY dirty and gross smeling and the oscars dont seem to be getting sick or anything but the tank just keeps going worse with amonioa and nitrates and what not and i am able to control it some with tablets and hunk but im worried about my fish and i want to get the worms out so i need to know how to get rid of them quickly!!!

I want to keep a fish in my room, but I want something pretty unexpensive and easy to take care of. Cleaning the cage often would not be convenient for me.

I have a school of ten red-eyes and two plecos in a twenty gallon tank. I have an empty two gallon 'goldfish bowl' that I could use as a 'breeding tank' but I don't want to 'move the fish' (or even know which ones to 'move' and then put back after the eggs are laid) or whether they need an air hose and a filter or not. HELP ... my females look 'ready to burst' but they aren't 'scattering' their eggs, because they have 'fake plants' ... I have a good 'feathery' plant for them, but what else do I NEED?

I recent bought this 30 gallons used tank. The seller told me that this tank was up running until a month ago.

I got a tank, heater and filter only. I need to know if I should cycle this tank? The only media I still use from previous setting is just a form but I added the new carbon and ammonia remover thing.

Also I don't have the air pump and light yet. Will I need these things right away?

My best friend has a giant Oscar. He loves bugs. She feeds him crickets all the time & he's been fine. But the other day she got the bright idea to feed him a moth. Ever since he's been lathargic at the bottom of the tank and barely eats. Aren't some moths poisonous? I thought I read that some where? If this particular moth was poisonous, is there anything she can do to save her fish?

I am sick of buying feeders and having to quarantine them for a few weeks. I am going to set up a 20 gallon live bearer tank and breeder a livebearer or livebearers to feed to my oscar. I figure if I can sustain my oscar off of my livebearers I could save money in the long run, as well as eliminate the risk of disease in feeders.

okay so my heater died in my ten gallon saltwater tank FOWLR so i threw in a25 watt adjustable heater i had spare and its heating it fine. the only thing im worried about is the water level line is up too high. my tank and the heater's little holder wont match up good. the water is below the water line. will this be okay?

i bought a new heater and it did the same thing. it was the same kind as my old one a tetra whisper submersible 50 watt. its preset and the temp in my tank dropped down to like 72 it ussually keeps it at 77 or so. i could only fine the same brand heater at my walmart. will i be alright with the 25 watt adj one i have now?

is the saltwater messing up the heaters? i know how to set them up right. let them get used to the water temp for 30min then turn it on and all that stuff.

also i have a tiger barb in another tank that looks like he has a busted lip will he be okay? hes just as active as the other ones.

thanks

My glow fish has an eyeball that is popped out and it's swimming weird. It will land upside down on the bottom of the tank and lay there for a while then swim quickly and sideways all over then drop again to the bottom. What is wrong with it and how should it be treated?
