i have this electric yellow fish. it keeps hiding in the boat in the fish tank. and the fish keeps taking out the rocks in the boat. so my dad didnt know what the fish was doing so he leveled the rocks because the fish made a hill. after my dad leveled the rocks the next day the fish did the same thing and took out the rocks out of the boat and made a hill with the rocks. and this time my dad didnt mess with the rock and the fish stays in the boat and doesnt let any other fish in. what is my electric yellow fish doing??? is my electric yellow fish pregnant??
PLEASE HELP ME........THANK YOU SO MUCH.........

HI Guys. I just lost 2 fishes this week and am just so very sad...and my 3rd I thought was going to die. The living fish is a goldfish with no Dorsal fin. Anyway, they had a terrible case of Ich. It appears the Ich is finally clearing. The living fishie has developed some dark spots all over him, which I read indicate that the healing process has begun. He had been laying on the bottom of the tank hanging on for dear life. I did a huge water change yesterday and he seems much better today...except...he cant seem to swim correctly. He keeps getting pushed around by the filter and appears to almost be swimming backwards at times and doing summersaults. He also will suddenly swim really twitchy and fast. Any ideas what these new symptoms could be? He doesnt look bloated at all...poor little guy has been through a lot.

So I've had my 20g tank set up for about 7+ weeks now. During this time, I've certainly seen ammonia, which I have to constantly battle to keep below 0.25, but I still have no nitrites. Could it be that my bacteria aren't developing? Why? I've got 4 threadfin rainbows and 4 cory cats, along with a few danios and white clouds, in my tank. I do 25% water changes w/ a siphon every couple of days to try and keep the ammonia down. I have two filters, an in-tank whisper 10 and a hob penguin mini, so I've got 30 gallons of filtration. I'm not overfeeding--I feed a small amount every other day. pH is around 7.2, tempertaure is at 75. Right now, ammonia: 0.25 (time for another water change...sigh) nitrite: 0 nitrate: 0. I use Prime water conditioner, and API test kits--drops, not strips.

Why won't my tank cycle properly? I really don't want my fish to suffer from the ammonia.

I have been feeding my long tentacle and ritteri anemone CoraLife and live brine shrimp every few days by giving it to them with a syringe. Is this okay? Also my long tentacle anemone has been white (it used to be a beautiful rose-colored the size of my fist), and is always shriveling up. my clownfish are now only obsessed with the ritteri anemone and wont give the other one any attention and too much to the newer one. Should i get another anemone to help the ritteri get some rest? Help?!

Went to clean my tank today and there are these things swimming all over the tank, they look like grains of sand. I took a sample to Petco and they didn't know what it was. Can anyone help and maybe provide a picture. My fish are doing okay, they have been acting sluggish the last couple of days but no rubbing or anything else.

OK, I know that mollies and patties can't mate.

I have a 55G with a ton of mollies and patties. I know about the male to female (I can tell the difference) ratio and that's what I've kept them. What I want to know is that can any type of molly mate with any other type of molly (ex: a balloon molly mate with a sailfin molly)? Or do they have to stay with their own type? Same question about patties.

Another question: How do I tell when I need to put the pregnant moms in breeder containers (the one you can buy at any pet store)? And how long are they pregnant for?

** I tried looking this up but I could not find any websites that I liked. I just want simple answers ... hehe. Thanks! **

Why is the Great White Shark the most feared fish when in fact the Tiger and Bull sharks have attacked more humans than the GWS?

i have two Sunburst Platy. three weeks ago i noticed the bigger one fighting with the smaller. now the smaller one just sits on the bottom of the tank. it swims occationally, but not normal. it does not swim level, rather the head stays high and the tail low. and when it stops swimming it sinks. i've seperated the two fish. the bigger fish stays close by on the other side...essentially waiting. its pretty sad.

i'm thinking a fin or fins were damaged.

do you think this seperation will rest the fish enough to swim again?

I'm planning on being back home for two weeks over the holidays and I'm worried about leaving my fish at my apartment. I have a 10 gallon tank. I've heard about those weekend feeders but I've also heard those can affect the quality of the water. If I had to take the tank with me...the drive is about 30 minutes. Any suggestions?

I would like to know because I am having a hard time keeping them alive. I have tried infursia(lettuce in water) but I think that the water always spoiles. Microworm cultures are to expensive, and I can't seem to find a way to start the culture from scratch myself(I don't want to buy a pre-made culture) Any suggestions?
