I have one very large black belt chichlid. He was part of a breeding pair and killed his mate a week after I got them. Now, he is all alone in a 40 gallon tank. What else can I put in there? He is aggressive and large.

We originally used tap water with a water conditioner in it. Thats when the weird swimming started. Took him out and put him back in distilled and he seems better. What 's the deal?

He is in one of these at the moment, living alone
(exactly this)

Like I said he is around 3 years old. I only had him for a few months though since my friend gave it to me. I find it to be a very small living area though, but I am afraid that he could die from shock of being in a bigger container since he is 3 years old. What should I do? Leave him the way he is?

I am getting over an ammonia spike that killed all my fish (from too many fish and probably overfeeding). I purchased a new tank because I figured now is the time to do it before I get all established again. I have the dual bio-wheel filter from my current tank (for 55+ gallons) and an Aqua-Tech dual bio-filter for my new tank. Can I set both these up on the new tank and get things moving faster (as far as getting bacteria established) and keep it extra clean? I've never used a bio-filter, so I dont know anything about it, I've always had a bio-wheel, and don't know anything about running two filters.... I can't "over filter" my water can I??

Thanks!

I have a fish in my aquarium that cut its tail while I did my weekly tank change. The wound bled a little then stopped. He seems to be fine now and swims around normally. However he stills has the red area where he got cut on his tail. I just changed his water, will this avoid infection or is there anything else I can do to avoid infection. He is the only fish in the aquarium.

oh and he is a fresh water tropical tetra ( phantom tetra)

Hubbie brought one home without knowing anything about it. Thought our betta needed company. (It didn't.) Anyway, I've been reading that rasboras need to be with other rasboras. Anyone have experience keeping just one? Thanks!

My moonlight gourami has raised pink and white spots all over its body. They don't seem to affect its behavior or eating habits, and the fish store doesn't know what it is. Any ideas?
