I'm trying to start a 10 gallon marine nano and was wondering if you know of any sites that sell marine items like live rock, live sand, lighting for reef tanks, corals, etc.

Okay, so I have a 10g tank that I am about transfer my australian rainbows out of to a 15g and I am going to restock the 10g with fancy guppies, platies, golden danios, and otocinclus. I currently have 1 golden danios, 1 fancy guppy, and 1 platy in a 2.5g tank until I can finish moving my other fish out to the other tank. Tommarrow I am going to be getting 3 fancy guppies and possibly another platy. Do you think they will all be okay in a 2.5g tank with a heater keeping the water 80*F, aquarium salt to prevent desease, and a pump as long as I do 50% water changes once a week. They should be in the 10g in 3 weeks or less. I don't want to add all the fish yet becuase I want to make sure they don't have any desease first. Do you think they will be fine until then?
Thanks!

Ok, I have a tank with 4 mollies. They have been treated for ick for the last 4-5 days. Now today my black mollies eyes are totally freaky! They stick out (kind of pointy looking) and are whitish. She seems like she can still see, but I don't know. HELP ME!

I think it may be either the ick or a fungal infection? Am I right? Wrong? I am going to Wal-Mart later today and I can pick up some medicine if I know what it is!!!

Please help my poor <>

Why does everyone like those fish so much?I mean i had one and he was boring.....

the only thing really impressive about them is that they can do the flaring with there face and there colors.


I mean they cant be in schools.and when you even put your hand by the bowl they flare up.


Im not saying i hate them its just why do people love them so much?


Ps.i love all animals. lol.

I was at my LFS today, and in the tank with the clown loaches was these other fishes that looked similar, except they were light brown with dark brown stripes similar to the clown loaches. they were thicker, and the hump on their back is higher. I asked the people at the store and they said same but bigger species (chinese) I've searched all the botia sites I can find, with no luck. the fish guy said they can reach 35cm? thanks for any info

I have a very well established 20 gallon saltwater tank, about 15 lbs of live rock, various polyps, mushrooms, and some gorgonia. I have a sixline wrasse, a chromis, 2 hermits (small), a turbo snail, and a nassirius snail. Yesterday, around 12 pm. I added a sea hare and a Blue Regal Tang and the tang is still acting like she is in shock. I didnt acclimate her any differently than I do with all of my fish, but she is not happy!! No signs of Ick yet, but I dont want to lose her! Any ideas? Water has been tested and all things are well within good levels. Salinity is good. Not sure if she is just REALLY stresses out?

I just moved into a rental house and the previous tenant missed taking a few of the goldfish with her. I didn't realize they were there for a month. I bought food, but it doesn't look like they are eating it. The water is green and murky. I have a small pump circulating the water but it has no filter. Do I need one? Do I need to put plants in the water? How about chemicals? I know nothing of fish!!

Earlier today I put him in a solo cup while I changed the water in his bowl and he jumped out. It took a couple of minutes to get him back in but he seems healthy except for the resting thing. Besides this behavior has been a couple of days before his jump.

I want to make a cave for my fish. I'd like to use somenthing creative but know that I could also contaminate the water if I use something that leeches into the water. I know my aquarium-safe gravel is painted with latex. So, can I use latex paint to coat a rock or something and use that in the tank?

I'm fairly sure it was a type of rainbow, but its long and slender instead of being shaped like a normal rainbowfish. I don't think it was a threadfin; but it had a body shaped like that. his scales are green and his fins are yellow, with red trim. He was $7 and he stays near the top. The guy never told me what kind it was but he said it gets 2 1/2 inches long. =]

I live in Charlotte Harbor Florida and last week I was getting bait and there was a different fish in with my greenbacks at the time I kind of wondered if it was a baby mackerel. When I picked it up one of its fins stuck my finger and it was painful kind of like getting catfish slime into a cut, and it lasted for about 15-20 minutes. Today I was getting bait at the same spot and I noticed I had another one stuck in the net, and I decided to get revenga, I grabbed the net just above the fish, and slammed him against the side of the boat a couple of times so that I could push him out without getting stuck, ironically it bounced, and hit one of my fingers ouch. But this time it wasn't near as painful, but still more painful than being stuck by a pinfish or other fish with spines. I tried to find something that looks like it on yahoo, and the closest thing I found is a sticklefish, I am pretty sure that is what it was, but I didn't see anything about them being painful when they stick you
