Yesterday I noticed that one of my gourami's was having bulges on the sides of her body. I didn't know what it was at first then I asked on Yahoo answers and found out that maybe it could be that she is pregnant. Up until now, I thought that both of the gouramis I have were male, but now I know one of them is female due to the comparison in color to the male which she is lacking.

Now I'm thinking that she is pregnant for sure. She is housed with a male gourami, 2 neon tetras, and 3 corydoras all in a 10 gallon. How can I make this process easy for myself and the fish?? Will I be needing another tank for the female and the male? Please help me!

They get to 18 inches. I'm a fairly experienced fish keeper so I know how to keep a bass. I have done research and located a fish farm in my area that I could buy a 1 inch large mouth bass. Also, could I maybe put 2 largemouths in a 75 gallon? Could I put 1 largemouth bass and 1 channel catfish in a 75 gallon. Channel catfish get to around 20 inches. I have also found a fish farm to supply a channel cat. Please don't give me that "one inch of fish to one gallon of water" bologna. Thanks for all answers!

I bought what I thought were 3 male Fancy Tail guppies. I guess one was a female, because this morning when I went to feed my fish, (s)he was sorta bloated looking. I'm new to fish, & I really don't want to have to deal with pregnant fish. What should I do?

Hi I have 2 female Bettas in a 5 gallon tank.
Prior to them being put into this tank together they were in their own seperate Betta Keepers that were put next to each other,and they seemed to enjoy each others company.
They were fine in the 5 gallon aquarium for about 2 weeks,but now I am noticing that they chase each other and will occasionally flare out the area around their gills at each other.
This is not constant or anything,but I was just wondering if this might be a sign of trouble??Or is this is just them playing and nothing to worry about?

Is 15 fish a good amount for a 40 gallon aquarium? It has decorations in it too, and the fish include clown fish, and other tropical fish. Is this okay?

I have only had this betta, as well as 2 of his brothers for about 5 months. Casper and Rusty are doing fantastically well, I even got Casper to FINALLY accept pellet food and bloodworms (they were raised on Tropical Flakes only, so they have to eat Bettamin flakes because they won't eat anything else) Anyway, I had Dustin in a half gal. bowl and his water was a bit cool, so I put in a mini heater, I checked it and it was keeping the water around 75 degrees, the next day it was still 75 but Dustin's lower mandibal is swollen and it has a scab on it, it looks like he's been punched. He can still open it wide enough to breath, but he is having trouble eating, it takes him forever, so I think it hurts him. I have been changing his water daily and putting in Aquarium salt and ick treatment, I know it isn't ick, but the bottle say it's for all kinds of bacterial and fungal infections, it isn't working, So yesterday I bought Dustin and Casper a 1 gal bowl kit each, Rusty was already in one.

Hi, i have a female betta and male. and i want to know my question. u see my male betta stays near the top constantly and i feed him more than enough and still he's there. i think i'm over feeding him and i dont know what to do, cut back down on his food or what? He seems like he's getting bigger though around the middle.

With the female, i bought her Aug 22, for the male betta. but the next couple of days, of course the male betta went after her but she rejected. now she stays in the cave all the time and i dont see her eat anything, the male betta eats it up. and she lays down on the rocked floor doing nothing but hiding. and laying around. is she going to die? or just something else? should i put her in a small fish bowel for a while? i just dont know. help please.

i recently set up a 7 gallon tank for a few tropical fish however it didn't come with a light because of its size. ive been looking in pet stores for lights, but they are either too big or too small, so ive been using my desk lamp (halogen light), i was wondering if this is harming my fish or my plants..? =S and also..the tank is in my bedroom, if my lights are on in my bedroom for 12hours will that count to the fishtank...or does light only affect the tank when it is directly overhead the tank? the light in my bedroom is white by the way
thanks~

After i have cleaned it, when i switch it back on it spits out the large particles that collect on the foam parts. It all comes out of the pipes that connect it to the water. Is there any prevention, after the foam pads it has a polishing pad to collect micro particles so this is another reason why i cant understand it.

I'm very concerned about my 2 platies. I have had 1 for a week and the other for only 2 days and they are both heavy on the bottom. I tried fishless cycling, but after the tank being set up and running for six weeks, it was only half-way thru the cycling. Petco recommended adding 2 fish, so we did. I bought a test kit and PH, ammonia, and nitrites are high because the tank is cycling. So I did a partial water change, but I think I changed too much because one of the fish died immediately. So we got another fish and now I am afraid to change the water again. Some say change the water during cycling and some say do not. Anyway, my question is there anything I can do for the fish since they are suffering so badly? Can the ammonia and nitrites be reduced while they are in the tank w/o having to do a partial water change? I add aqua safe to the water, no salt, and used stress zyme when fishless cycling first 6 weeks. I hate seeing the fish suffer!
