I have a Flame Gourami that is starting to look fat and she is in a tank with 1 paradise Gourami. There used to be a red Dwarf gourami and another flame gourami with her but, they both died a couple of weeks ago, Could she be pregnant? How long are they pregnant? Are they livebearers or do they lay eggs? These are my only Gouramis, so I have not researched the spawning of them yet, can you help?

Were thinking of getting a couple tadpoles for our 20 gallon tank. We have alot of pebbles from petco that we used for a small land area that slants so the tadpoles can stand on once they develope legs and their gills disapear. There are also a couple larger rocks in the water portion of the tank for hiding and sitting on.

But I was wondering what kind of plants would go well with tadpoles. We were thinking of getting some live plants that the tadpoles could eat off when we go on vacation. And also to hide in. (We do have a small log that is about 4 in high and 3 in long, hollow too, that slants upward from the water to the land).

One last question.
When do we start feeding them live food?

Thanks,
Kelly

Do they come in solid colors, for example can they just be green with no spots or any other color on them? And is this rare?

I set up my aquarium yesterday but it's doesn't have any gravel or anything in it yet. When I got up this morning there is black residue on the bottom of the tank. When i put my hand in the tank to see what it was it just dispersed in the water like powder in the air. I know the filters have charcoal in them and would assume that its from that. Is it normal to have this?

the fish does it constantly. It reminds me of how animals in a zoo pace back and forth in their cages. Is this the same reason my fish does this? (I also have a loach that has started doing this). I have several other fish, none of the others have this behavior.

I have to fish, The fancy is abouta Black Moor and a Fancy Goldfish. 8-9cm and the black moor is about 5-6 cm. They live in a 15 liter tank. People will say they will grow very big, but I have had my Fancy for 8 months and my Black Moor for 3 months. Both of them have not seem to grow, why? Is this the size that they will stay? Please any more info about these breeds would be great. They have an air pump, filter, because I know goldfish need alot of oxygen and need a filter to because they produce alot of waste which is leathel to themselves and other fish. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. And I would like to appologise to FINATIC, I was rude and selfish. Any way thanks for any help that can be offered!

syphoned my tank today using the python to my toilet, instead of the faucet suction method to save water. But the problem was the suction was very weak, the tubing laid on the floor directly to the bathroom then UP the toilet. Because the tubing had to go back up into the toilet, is that the reason for the weak suction? I was wondering if I could put something between my tank to my toilet so the tubing slants down directly to the toilet, that way it doesn't go UP to the toilet. Before I bought the python I used a regular gravel vac into a bucket and the suction was much more powerful, could it be weak because the tubing is so long (25ft). thanks

I have 3 danios. I don't know the gender of the danios at all. I think two of them are "female" and one is "male". The "male" started chasing the "females" and now only chases one of them. The "female" looks really tired and scared.

1)How do I tell what gender the danios are?
2)Should I separate the "female" and "male"?
3)What vegetables should I feed to the danios in addition to lettuce, cucumbers, and peas?

thx

I just received an Eclipse Hex 5 aquarium, and installed it according to the instruction booklet. After I turned the power on, i noticed that there weren't any bubbles coming out of the little "hose-like" part that juts into the tank itself. Are bubbles supposed to come out of there?
