Fish - August 2007

I bought 1 male and 3 female black mollies from my local fish store in hope of breeding them. I told that to the owners of the shop and they gave me 2 babies to get me started. I also got a breeding net. The questions that i want to ask are

1-If my fry are roughly 1 cm long, how old are they

2-how many fry can 1 molly have(2 of the 3 seem to be pregnant)

3-Is it the right thing to put the fry in a breeding net/box (when i didn't have a breeding net and my fish had babies, they all got eaten)

If you could answer this it would be a big help.

Thanks!

I have a 12 Gallon JBJ Nano-Cube Tank that is just recently been started. The tank is set up with a heater, 12 pounds of livesand, 12 pounds of live rock, green striped mushrooms (25+ of them), and a Turbo Snail. It's been running about a month and a half and is ready to take fish.
my question is what kind of fish should i put in it that are really cool?????
like a really sweet looking fish.
something really different.
thanks!

I'm trying to breed bettas, ys I've read a lot. The male has his bubblenest female has verticle bars and eggs. But they haven't mated yet and I need to go to bed. Some sites say to leave thewm in together overnight and some say to take her out. they haven't fought much, but I don't want to risk losing one of them. What should i do? Also, any tips for getting them to breed faster?

I went to walmart today and was horrified by the condition the bettas were in. They had at the most a 1/2 of water in their cups and at least 2/3 of them were dead or dying. My sister and I were only going to get one betta and save $ for clothes but as soon as we saw that we were thinking screw the clothes. So we rescued 10 bettas. Then on the way home 4 bettas died do we went back and rescued 4 females and 1 male. We complained to Walmart and they gave the fish more water, but it didn't have any dechlor in it. I am happy that the fish got water but is there more I could do for them to have a better live. I don't think bettas should be kept in stupid cups anyway with the way they are treated so could I email something like and ASPCA to complain about the poor fish care? Thanks for all that answer.

Please help! He looks so sick. He has sat at the bottom of his aquarium for two days and looks like he is weighed down in back. I fed him and he pathetically tried to swim up to get the food, and he swam almost straight up, but he couldn't get to the top of the water to eat the food. This is making me so upset, what can I do for him? He is two and a half years old and I don't know what to do, please help me.

I have had an algae eating fish for about two years now and he recently died of some kind of infection that caused the fish to occasionally get a white film on him. I took the algae eater out of my 30 gallon aquarium tank and buried him. But in the tank I also have a rather large goldfish, and what I'm wondering is, is there any type of infection or disease that my goldfish could catch from being in the same tank with a dead algae eater, and if so, what kinds of medicine could I put into the water? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have been told that Aquarium salt can help get rid of the little snails that have invaded my Betta's 2 gallon tank (Ive pulled out 6 of the little buggers and right now I see 3 more, who knows how many more are in there). Is it safe to put salt in his tank? And if so, how much? What else can I do to get rid of the encroachers (since Ive already put 6 of them in to my 30gal tropical tank)?

my tank size is 48 inc by 12 by 18.

I have a blood parrot and a oscar.

My blood parrot looked like its was scratched from a rock or something so I added 3 and a half t spoons of table salt into the water.
I was just reading that table salt can harm fish, will they be ok?

Also is this tank ok for those fish, they get on very well and they are both about 5inch, could i add anything else in with them?
