swim bladder problems have you tried seperating him into a fry container? that way he can still stay in the same tank and see all of his friends...

Thanks Menagerie and Christmas fish! I got carried away thinking the fish was going to croak and wanted to hear someone tell me he wouldn't! Anyway, so here it is day 3 1/2, and he is still here! I have named him "Sammy". Other than the hole where his eye used to be, there are no wounds of any...

I am sorry if I upset anyone by posting a second thread. I was just frustrated and wanted someone to talk to about it! I am not in the habit of rescueing injured fish, but I felt so bad for this little fishy. Maybe because I do animal rescue if seems normal to want to do that. I have a...

:oops:

my other post is "black moor with one eye" but I only got a couple of responses. This poor fish is hanging on for dear life! He does swim around, but yet he tips over onto the side that has an eye. So my question to all of you is:: is it possible that the loss of his eye on the one side is...

Do they look swollen when they have swim bladder problems? This fish looks OK other than missing the eye. My other one that also has one eye missing is doing realy well! The LFS guy said sometimes they lose an eye while at the wholesalers. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I watched...

Ok so I ditched the crab idea, and instead got an ADF. Of course I haven't seen him since he got here!

Black Moor with one eye I bought a black moor yesterday. I am a sucker for the disabled fishies! My other goldie also has one eye. The problem is the moor seemed as if it was going to die last night. It would float at the top and do nothing. I was pretty sure this morning he would be dead...

it is small unfortunately. :( it is a 6 gallon eclipse.

Hi all. Well once again I am asking a newbie question! I am thinking of adding some type of crab to my goldfish tank. There is only 1 fan tail in the tank, and 4 ghost shrimp. I really enjoy watching the shrimp come out at feeding time, but if there is no food, they are off hiding. Is a crab...

Thank you all for the advice! So how do I make him a place close to the top of tank? I am thinking he may need his own tank because one of my gourami's ( a blue) seems to be somewhat aggressive towards some of the other fish. He chases them around and they all of course run from him! At one...

I really want a betta, but I am not sure if it is better to get him his own tank, or if it is OK to add him to my community tank. it is a 20 gallon tropical with some tetras, swords, and a couple of gourami's.

I would like to add some snails to one of my tanks. I am leaning towards the tropical tank, but since I am still learning, I dont' know which snail if any will work best. I also have a cold tank I could put one in. One of the LFS I frequent has tons of snails in almost every tank, so this...

Thank you! I used to think it was OK to let the LFS water into the tank, but after having problems in one tank, and ich in the other, I no longer do this.

I was wondering if any of you have any opinions on adding the water from the bag that new fish are brought home in to the tank. Is this a good idea? I am apprehensive because I know my water is good, but I am afraid to add the water from the store. Am I being overly paranoid? :?
