I heard the crab and the betta will work together.

but what pet should i get to replace the frog?

Ive had beta fish bfore. All of which died after three days of having them. I don't remember alot about when i had them but i never allowed them to sit in their cup in the new waer to adjust to it nor did i add alittle of my water to the cup every thirty minutes.

I fed them bloodworms in the containers. I never paid alot of attention o the fish i picked out. Now i know these are all faults but i'm asking how to better acomidate a new beta to a new tank so he survives hopefully for years to come!

So please, give me little guides and tips on how to keep a beta alive and what to look at when i buy him from the pet store (my only option for buying one) because i want this one to live so my dad won't thik all fish we get will die!

Thanks guys, peace.

has anyone had first hand experience with keeping red tailed sharks (or similar that you would recommend instead) with blind cave tetras? it will be in a 10gallon tank that is going to be well planted and with plenty of hiding spaces, so keep anything besides red tailed sharks within that tank size please.

please note, I've done research and I'm still doing some, so if you don't have first hand experience don't both answering because I can do my own research.

We have a 55 gallon aquarium with a 4 in. live sand bed. We put the live sand in with saltwater and let it run for a month before adding fish. We don't have any live rock, but within three days our 3 yellowtailed blue damsels are found dead in the same spot with what appears to be nipped fins and the body picked at. When purchased and acclimated the little fish appeared fine, I've tested the levels almost everyday since we set up our tank. Amonia has been 0, pH between 8.2 and 8.4 and Nitrate and Nitrite 0. Like I said 3 fish, one died every day? What could it be?

Thanks for the help in advance! :)

We have a problem in our tank. There is algae that we can't seem to get rid of. My husband believes that it is living mostly in the filter and would like to know what the best water temperature to clean the fliter out would be, or if that would even help.

Also, can you recommend a permenant solution? We have a 55 gallon tank with 5 oscars, 2 kissing fish and 2 pletcos. We are using 2-40 gallon filters.

I have a 10 gallon tank with two goldfish. Being they're coldwater fish, I do not have a heater in the tank. I turn the tank light on during the day when I wake up and off at night when I go to sleep. I do not have a thermometer in/on the side of the tank (go ahead and flame me I know you want to.)

Recently, much to my surprise, I noticed a lot of very tiny, see-through baby fish, that were undoubtedly freshly hatched goldfish. I know that it takes a lot of certain conditions to encourage the fish to breed and I wasn't even trying. I know that goldfish need very warm water to get "in the mood."

The fish like to nibble at my fingers so occasionally I put my fingertips in the fishtank. Usually it's very warm, but I work in the daytime so I've only done this in the evenings. But today I have a shift in the evening, and I dipped my fingers in the fishtank at about 11:30am, and the water was cold (or as cold as goldfish water gets).

My sister thinks that happened to one of her goldfish. If it were possible can you take fish to the vet? What could the vet have done realistically?

Here's the situation. 2.5 gallon heated and filtered tank. Currently is cycling. Added the water 2 days ago, added seeded gravel from my healthy current tank to boost cycling.

I want to have a betta, and a couple of shrimps, but someone mentioned to me I could get perhaps 3 white cloud minnows to keep in there as well - these would be added in a couple of days time to help the cycling and then kept afterwards to house with the betta which will be added at the end of cycling.

Is this possible? Is that okay for that size tank? It has only 2 very small plastic plants so it's not chock full of ornaments.

It will be cleaned regularly and as I said it does have a heater and a filter.

Any other species apart from white cloud minnows? Alternatively, any other fish that can be kept singly in that tank that are hardy and can be kept with bettas?

Sorry if this question is confusing!

This is the best picture i could get without my fish trying to get their photo taken. There was this horrible huge stringy thing, over a meter long wrapped around ornaments in my fish tank. Some of the worm like thing is pink and the rest is clear like a transparent tube. As i said it was huge, i cleared it out and the next day there was a new one attached to the filter (picture below) I have a feeling it's coming from my leopard plec. It doesn't look anything like fish waste and i've never seen waste as long as this was. If anyone knows what this is or sounds like please let me know. Thank you very much :)

First I got some fish, and a ten gallon tank, did what the pet store guy told me to do. Got the tank all ready. Put them in my tank, like a week, they were dead. Bought all the testing stuff. Got it all right, bought some more fish, about a week later, they were dead as well. It look kinda like parts of the fishs body parts were falling off or something. I bought some anti fungi stuff and it didn't do any good. They were all fresh water fish. This was like 6 months ago, and I'm asking this becouse we might set the tank up again soon. But their is no point if they are all gonna die like last time.
