Hey, My clown loach has been swimming around the top of the tank now for about a week. I never see him away from the surface of the water any more. Does anyone know why he's doing this?

I've got two very small cichlids in my ten gallon tank at the moment and i'm going away for about a week. how dangerous do you think it would be to move my goldfish into the tank from his bowl for the week? I've had him in the tank before when i was cleaning his bowl but that probably doesnt...

My goldfish has recently developed a red streak down the back of his fin. What does this mean? It doesn't look to good.

In my ten gallon I have some rocks and a few fake plants and recently I just switched to an automatic timer for the light. I leave the light on for about 8 hours a day but i still seem to be getting algae and/or mold growing on the rocks and plants. I've kept my fish in the dark for a couple...

All I had in my ten gallon tank was a clown loach and i decided to put my goldfish in there with him. Well, they seem to be hanging around each other and they keep rubbing and bumping each other and i'm not sure if it's good or bad. neither seem to try to escape and i would say the loach puts...

I just got two dwarf puffers and a clown loach for my ten gallon tank. They're doing great. Anyway, i was reading up on the clown loach and i read that its lifespan is 50 years. Is this accurate? I got it from a reliable site i think. http://fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/clownloach.xml

I want to put my goldfish in my ten gallon tank so he will hopefully eat my little piggyback snails. My tank is empty (my last mollie just died) and its a slightly brackish environment. How much salt is ok for goldfish? Thanks.

I have two balloon bellied mollies in my ten gallon. I also have two babies of the same type. One of my babies (who is a couple months old now) has some bright red spots on him. Is this normal markings or something to worry about? The other fish dont have any spots. They seem normal, maybe...

I'm trying to get rid of my little piggyback snails in my ten gallon tank of mollies. I've tried to pick out all the snails but they reproduce too fast. I want to use salt to get rid of them. I've been told that they can't take the salt. How much should i add to get rid of the snails but...

I have three balloon bellied mollies in my ten gallon tank. One of them is swimming around aimlessly like he is drunk. He flip flops around upside down and everything. The others seem listless but they arent swimming strange. Whats going on?

I have three balloon bellied mollies (and a cory) in my ten gallon tank. Lately, they seem to be sick. They are very lethargic, their gills seem to be working extra hard and they have long poop strings hanging off of them. I do regular water changes and the parameters tested fine. Any ideas?

I have a 20 gallon tank and i'm thinking of planting it. I've never planted before. All i could find at the store for planting was some gravel mixture and some underwater plant food. Yet, i keep hearing you guys talk about CO2 pumps. How come you can't get those in stores? Do i really need...

I know you guys prolly get a lot of this but... I think i'm going to start a 20 gallon saltwater tank thats planted. I've had tanks of that size before but never saltwater and nothing planted. I need a couple good articles to get me going in that direction. thanks

Ok, i have four balloon bellied mollies in my ten gallon. They all swim around as normal. But, one of them seems to be using his gills much more than the others. He seems to be moving his gills ten times more than any of the other three. Yet, he swims around like everything is fine. Am i...

I think my tank is infected, i've had three fish die in the past two days. How should i go about completely cleaning the tank. What chemicals should i use? I've heard of using vinegar, is that what i want? I need to completely clean everything. Btw, its just a ten gallon, with 5 mollies in it.

Hey I have two balloon-bellied mollies in my ten gallon tank (one male and one female). Today, i found my female with her nose in the gravel floating straight up. She's barely moving and barely breathing. I tested the water and the parameters are fine. I turned the heat up a little b/c it...
