Answer 1

you need a big tank, a filter, clean water that has sat over night before putting the fish in, a php tester to test the levelsin the water after that just feed then once a day with the right food clean the tank once a week and they should be fine.

Answer 2

You have a computer. Do some stinkin research.

Why do people buy animals without the first clue as to how to care for them?

Return the fish to the store before they die from your ignorance (not to be confused with stupidity).
Then go learn some stuff about fish and fish keeping.
If, after acquiring some knowledge as to how much work fishkeeping involves, you decide keeping fish is for you, then do some research on the different fish which could go in the size tank you have and figure out what you want.

THEN go buy some fish.

Answer 3

wow... why did you buy these? I hate that people view fish as throw away pets and decorations.

you CAN'T keep that shark with the guppies. guppies are recommended as food for red tailed sharks. red tailed sharks need AT LEAST a 40gallon tank. you will need lots of plants and hiding spots and a new tank for the guppies. you'll need a heater because they like their water in the high 70's. you'll need a filter. you'll need pH testers, nitrogen tester, ammonia tester, thermometer, proper foods, nets, plant food if you use live plants, and water conditioner...

you'll need to float the bags in the tank for 1hr before you can put the fish in the tank, putting a spoonful or two of the water from the tank into their bags every 15 mins.

if you can do all that go for it, if not consider returning them to the store and getting a few easy to take care of fish, but research them next time.

also, you should probably check out this http://www.typing-lessons.org/ and this http://www.spelling.hemscott.net/ because i had a heck of a time trying to figure out what on earth you said.

Answer 4

Because you got these fish unprepared, your tank is not ready for fish. Your tank needs to be cycled.

Also, I doubt that your tank is big enough to accomodate all those fish.

Your fish will die soon in your tank. I don't mean to bum you out, but that's how it is. Fish produce ammonia, and ammonia is toxic, and without having been cycled, your tank is not able to break down the ammonia into something less toxic. So your fish will die of that. If the Redtail shart doesn't eat them first.

Also, your sucked fish is a plecostomous. Did you know they get 2 feet long?

There's a lot to learn about fish if you want to keep them alive.

Please bring your current fish back the petstore and get a refund for them. Then you can start cycling your tank and properly researching which fish can go in your tank. Please do this. Your fish will die if you keep them the way you are now.

Here is some reading for you:

But you should buy a book. Read as MUCH as you can. Join forums like http://www.fishforums.com. You've started off badly but there is no reason that you can't become a great fishkeeper.

But please make an effort to write properly and to spell check.

Answer 5

How large is your tank? The average to way to figure what size you will need is for each 1 inch of a fish's adult size requires 1 gallon of water. Example: You buy a shark who's, adult size will be 5 inches, he will need 5 gallons of water for just that one fish. If there are too many fish in one tank, they can poison each other, fish exhale ammonia. Find out if all those fish are compatible. Most sharks are better with other sharks. Most will eat other fish. Check with a local, reputable, fish or pet store...not a store like Wal-Mart. Someplace like PetsMart or a store that specializes in this. They can be a big help. They helped me set up a tank once and get the perfect fish for what I was looking for.

Answer 6

First of all, you won't have any guppies pretty soon because the mollies will kill and eat them if they're in the same tank. Mollies cannot be in the same tank with fish that are smaller than them because they're very aggressive. Second with no more fish than that, go get yourself a 5 gallon starter aquarium. It will come with everything you need and instructions on setting it up. Third, provided your fish last long enough for you to accomplish that much, you may contact me for further detailed instructions on how to properly transfer them to their new home and take care of them. I truly wish you luck ...

Answer 7

do yourself a favor and maybe save your fish - GO BUY A BOOK
about aquarium keeping

Answer 8

flush them down the toilet ....same odds as you taking care of them
