WE did recently put a backdrop on the tank. Its 20 gallons I think and there are 4 fish. havent really changed the plants much, put in a little tree thingy (we dont have real plants, Im not sure how they will do, maybe I will try one and see how it goes..) they do hide between the rock and the...

thanks for the advice. Its just that they never had a problem with it before. Only in the past few weeks. I will try to get something to put between the light and the water and see if that helps. They freak out a little when I put their food in too. They seem hungry. I feed them twice a day...

In the past two weeks our goldfish have started freaking out when I turn their light on. they never had a problem before. It has come to the point where I dont turn the light on anymore cause they go crazy and bump thier noses on the glass in thier frenzy. poor fishies. when the light is...

we have both floating and sinking pellets. They struggle to find the sinking ones and they end up getting lost in the stones. I will keep trying though, Im sure they will get used to their food being on the ground instead of on the surface!!! Thank you very much for the advice. What veggies...

well that silly snail is playing a lovely game with me! :biglol: He was stuck to the glass this morning and went into hiding as soon as I put the light on. He floated around while I fed the fish then let go a few bubbles right in my face!! lol. He was stuck on the glass again when I got home...

Thank you! I have done so.

The tank is about 15 gallons. Its been up and running for about a year. we have bubbles and the filter is on as well. There is lots of movement on the top of the water. I dont know if the fish are harassing the snail maybe. They dont hang out at the top of the tank so I think they are okay...

Hello. I am new to the forum (although I have already asked for advice!). We have a smallish fishtank with 4 goldfish and a big snail (I dont know what type it is, but hes a lovely ugly snail). My boyfriend has had the tank and the fish for about a year and the snail joined the tank about two...

Hello everyone. Im super glad I found this site! We have one big snail who has taken to floating round the top of the tank for days. He is alive and well it seems as he does come out on a daily basis, I just dont see him attaching himself to anything. Is this okay? can he feed from up there...
