Yesturday i bought two guppies at the pet shop. They told me that the grayished bodied one and the yellow tailed one was a girl. Then the boy was just plain blue. But when i got home i did some research and the internet was the oppiset. They said the totally oppiset they told me the one that was the boy was the girl so that means the one that was a girl was the boy. But when i checked on my fish my bluish one had a fat belly(like she was pregnat) but how could that be that was a boy. So i feed my figh and whent to bed. The next morning the girl (acording to the petshop) was dead lying on the bottom of the fish tank. HOw could this be? And which one is female and male? Is she pregnant or not? Please answer...

Alright, I got a male betta for my 1 gallon tank (good thing is the betta came in the day before i bought it so it wasnt sitting around in the store tooo long) The colors are amazing!! It has like every color of the rainbow in him seriously! I can see purple, green, red, blue, teal, orangish. Its soo cute (i acutally thought it was blue but oh well i dont care i love it!) It is still a smaller sized betta but I named him Titan. I bought 2 kinds of food for him and medicine just in case he gets sick. I tried to feed him this morning but with no luck. It is Hikari Bio-Gold Betta food, and also TopFin freeze dried bloodworms. I guess ill try a little again later?? I dechlorinated the water dont worry I used Prime (always do). I was wondering when i go next weekend to clean it how should i do it and where should i put him? I kept the cup he was in from the store (its bigger than those little ones walmart sells okay so dont be mad -suggestion!) --I will say more in the next.

My salt water tank is about 8 weeks along. There is lots of live rock, 2 shrimp, feather dusters, 2 urchins, lots of hermit crabs and snails, a sand-sifting starfish, 3 damsels, 1yellow tang, 1 royal blue tang, 5 engineer gobies, and one lawnmower blennie.
I just added the urchins, sand sifting star, snails, and blue tang last evening. I moved the live rock around and stirred up the sand quite a bit.
This morning I woke up and found that all 5 gobies have what appears to be ick. None of the other fish are affected.
The gobies are eating, breathing, and swimming normally. They are even digging out the holes I covered up when I move the sand around.
Could ick have really developed that fast?
I just tested the water yesterday and everything is perfect.
From what I've read, gobies are pretty hardy fish. I would have thought that the tangs would present symptoms before anything else.
Would it make more sense that the gobies may have gotten a fungus or worms?
Please Help!!!!!!!

I have two fish tanks. I have one for all my tropical fish and one for offspring. I was woundering how large do the offspring have to be so the pregnant mollies dont eat them?

What is the best fish filter for a 45 gal fresh water tank? I've got two X-large 8-10 year old goldfish. I've had them since they were itty-bitty feeder fish.

I've been thinking about getting a new one because my fluval 304 just isn't cutting it. I like filters that don't have that waterfall filtering system, I've had ones like that and the sound drives me crazy!

Before leaving for college, dechlorinated a 3 gallon bucket of tap water with 10-13 drops Seachem Prime Water Conditioner. I come home a week later, and the top of the water has like this clear white mucous layer, kinda like white slimy boogers. I touched and it it's a little slimy and partially semi thick. What happened?

I recently added 3 platys and 4 guppies to my 45 gal tank. I had 4 other small community fish. Less than a week later, only a few of them were still alive.

I tested my tank prior to adding the fish, them temp was 78 degrees, and all levels were good. What the heck. This seems to happen every time I add fish, could my filter be too small??? It said it was adequate for my tank...

I have had my tank up and running for several years, am getting tired of fish dying....I hope you can help.

Hey all,
I recently grew mysid shrimp in a plastic tank. The only things in the tanks were pumps, pipes, a few nets, and heaters (no sand or other substrates), and uneaten artemia food. On the second day of the experiment, the pH suddenly dropped: from 8.2 to 7.4, then returned to 8.0 the next day. On this day, the dissolved solids were also at their lowest level of 20.92ppt (usually they were closer to 24ppt).

Is there any reason the pH could have dropped so suddenly? I think the CaCO3 precipitated out somehow (since both pH and TDS dived simultaneously), but cannot for the life of me work out how. I haven't used aquariums very often, but didn't alter anything on the day when everything crashed. I would be grateful of any help.

Thanks

I have two gold mystery snails, and one of them was trying to reach to the surface of the water with a weird looking part of his body, at the end of this part, there was a hole. I think he was trying to get some oxygen is this true? Thank you!

I have a 38L fishtank with 2 goldfish and some plants living in it. The overhead light always attracts cockroaches and I have to clean them out every day. Is it ok to use a submersible light instead? What's best for the fish?
