Fish - September 2007

I noticed recently it is getting fatter than the other fish. So how can I tell if it is just fat/sick? Do they birth live fish or lay eggs? HELP!!!

these teeth are so cool especially the ones that are like 6 inches and i found some for like a couple hundred to a thousand dolars and i also found some on ebay for like ten dollars that were big so i was wondering what is a good price for these because i dont want to be a sucker and fall for the first website i see that charges 3000 dollars when i could have gotten virtually the same thing but for like 200 or something like that so i was wondering where i can get the cheapest but still quality and whole megalodon teeth at because i think it would be awesome to have one of those beautiful things sharks are like the coolest animals in the world to me exept lions. thank you in advance for your helps.

So i received a (used) air pump with air stone, rinsed it, and put it in the tank.

My problem is, the stone isn't weighted, so it keeps floating up to the surface. i've tried to weigh it with gravel, plants, and an ornament i have in there, but it wont stay down.

I dont have any large ornaments yet, so nothing is heavy enough to weigh it down.

Was there suction cups or something that was supposed to come with it? Are they available for purchase separately?

Any suggestions for the meantime? Should i just take it out?

Heres the story. I have a 29 gallon fish tank with 8 - 1 inch tetras, two small angelfish ( 1-1.5 inches each), 2 small (1.5 inch rams) and two barbs ( 2 inch). so total is about 18 inches or so. I am planning on upgrading to a bigger tank eventually so i figured that since i still had about 11 inches of space left, i bought 2 -3inch clown loaches. Before i did this, i asked 3 peple from 3 different sources and they all said it wolud be fine so i did it.
- Since i did the tank cycle process for the chemical stuff when i set up my tank, I have been doing regular water changes every week and doing everything properly for about 5 months now. - I have never had any chemical problems such as ammonia nitrate or nitrite. ever.
Problem. One week after i bought the loaches, my ammonia shot up and has ben really high for about 4 days now, so i have been changing 10% of the water daily. Tonight, i changed the water again and still high ammonia.
QUESTION
What went wrong, what do i do

I've been setting up my first saltwater aquarium for hours now. I have the temp right and the salinity right now im adding sand. I am getting so tired of rinsing the substrate in saltwater. Im aware that it is going to cloud the water bad, but is it really necessary to rinse the sand off before putting it in the aquarium?

the goldfish picks on and chases one of the mollies and in return that molly fights (or maybe plays?) back with it... that was last night and now today it looks like the goldfish and the other molly are teaming up on the other one. im wondering if this is normal... it doesnt seem like they are hurting eachother but im still a little concerned. any ideas on why they are doing this?

I noticed this morning that my aquarium filter had these fuzzy white egg bunch looking things sucked up to it; they are very small. I have a fairly newly set up freshwater aquarium stocked with live plants and some neon tetras, zebra dannios, and guppies to cycle as well as some ghost shrimp and two platys. My boyfriend thinks its from the plants but I havent had much look looking into what this may be. Any clue as to what this is?

My little brother has five fish and a huge tank. We are looking for more fish to go along with them. What sorts of fish could we safely stick in the tank with them?

My pregnant guppy rubs her body against something than dashes off very fast what is she doing my guess is that she is marking her territory but what do you think it is

And what is Hard water and what is soft &
Neutral water?

just one more question (you don’t have to answer this one if you don’t want to) Do you think fish are happy in a fish tank?

In addition to my regular fish tanks, I have just a 2.5 goldfish bowl with one betta in it. It doesn't have any filter or air pump. It's just sitting water and it gets this strange whitish film on the top of the water. It doesn't seem to bother my betta, but I've never had this problem before. My regular tanks don't get this at all and I'm guessing it's because they have filters and air pumps, so the water is moving. Someone has to know what this is and how to fix it!!!!

Hi, I have a 24g Nano cube 7W setup and the s.g. is at about 1.022. it has been cycling for a week and had live rock for 5 days, i have had 2 yellowtail damsels and a green chromis in there and they seem happy and active. they do not eat though, i have "spectrum marine formula" and they seem to be hungry (they suck it to their mouths, but it seems the damsels mouths are too small to eat the pellets, so what should i do? flakes better? also the chromis takes it in its mouth but then spits it out?

I have a new 30 gallon tank. I let it run on its own for a week, then put in one cobalt blue cichlid, and another a few days later. They seem to be doing good, except that aren't really blue anymore... Its like the middle of the fish is blue, and the outside of it is almost white on both fish.. Anyone know what may be going on. They look pretty healthy except for the color change, it's really noticeable.

My mollies have ick. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good product that clears ick that they have used (and it works!). I tried 1 "Jungle Ick Tablet" but it isn't really the best. Anyone?

1. Are mollies and cory cats compatibitle?

2. Do cory cats also require the "1 gallon per inch of fish" rule? I do not have any other bottom feeders besides 1 small snail.

3. About how much do cory cats cost?

You don't have to answer all my questions if you can't. Thank you in advance! ♥
