    clown fish lying on the bottom... help please?

    Did you cycle the tank before you bought the fish ? Did you mix the salt water yourself or did you buy it already mixed ? Did you condition the water before you put it in the tank ? Many many factors could have come into play here. If you are a novice fish keeper I would just chalk it up to not...

    Fishes for a 50 US Gallon Aquarium?: PLEASE ANSWER!?

    African or New World ? There's a HUGE difference in stocking between the two. Both Continents have dwarf species so if you have a proper 50 gallon and not a 50 gallon high tank then I would say maybe 4 that get to 6in each from either. Maybe like 8 if they are dwarfs and stay between 2 - 4...

    Why do all my Fish I buy die!!!!?

    The white film they are developing is a bacteria. Its easily treated although Ick meds wont work. You need a product like Maracyn which contains Erythromycin to treat bacteria outbreaks.

    I have a large fish tank (65??) w/ supplies can i put wild fish from my

    65 gallons ? Yes you can put 1 perch or bass in there and maybe like 5 blue gills if you want as they stay smaller. The main thing about tanks is you need to make sure the size of the fish is not to big for the tank. Like if you have a 12 inch fish, and your tank is only 12 inch wide, then you...

    Can you sex my Paradise fish?

    When they get older the males will be more color full vs the female who will be more dull looking. Most of the ones in pet shops are male for this reason. Watch the barbs as they grow so the paradise fish don't get picked on. Good Luck If you post a good, high quality pic I can sex them for...

    what kind of fish can i put with my columbian shark and is it possible to have

    Yes, any fish that swims at the surface or middle of the tank and even other bottom feeders and catfish as long as they are not big enough to fit in the Colombians mouth. The general rule with every single fish is.... " If I can fit it in my mouth, Its food"

    Why did my oscar jump out of the tank? He died...?

    Because fish jump for one, that's why if you read any care info on them it tells you to have a tight secure lid on your tank for just this reason. Second is because he probably had an external parasite on him and the scratching and bumping around was his reaction to it which would have been your...

    did i overfeed my fish?

    How much did you feed her ? She would have needed to eat a good amount of food for her to swell up to the size you would think its a prego. Betta's don't usually eat like that but its sure possible.

    should I get a beta fish from walmart or pet smart?

    Save one from each store all the Betta's are bred and shipped from the same place anyways it makes no difference although at pet-smart I have actually witnessed the people working there checking on and changing Betta's water. Shocking I know. I doubt Walmart even cares. Both stores are not that...
