    Gourami injured?

    Hello everyone thank you for stopping in to throw any advice at me that you may have! I have two dwarf gourami and the smaller one of the two (I think it might be a female) seems to have something wrong with her mouth. It just looks almost like her upper lip was nipped and now missing if that...

    Pond in direct sun

    Well I just night put those pigeon spikes all through the flower bed since our dogs like digging in there and now started jumping in the pond, good thing there aren't any fish in there now! Well until we get more fish we have some major changes to make...something keep dogs/predators out...

    Crawfish

    We were wanting to get a crawfish or one of those small blue lobsters...any suggestions? We have one Molly, 2 Gourami, and 2 Platy in a 29 gal with plenty of hiding places. I want something else in there that will be neat to look at but not eat our fish so any advice would be great on what new...

    Question about FL water

    My boyfriend has done pump and wells practically since he could walk and he has never heard of an aerator that hooks up to the water supply coming into your house.. Try doing a little more info on that one. We also live in Fl and have well water and my fish tank levels are perfect. Good luck...

    Sick male molly..

    The shark found a new home...he was chasing everyone in the tank. Probably because like you said they need 55 gal min. Which we didn't realize when we bought him..now he is in a much bigger tank. Thank you :)

    Sick male molly..

    I have one other question about the salt... Is this something I need to constantly do or just when they seem a little down? The box I bought said to add 1tbs per 5 gallons so that's what I did and they are all very lively today.

    Beta+ other fish?

    Well we solved our issue with the rainbow shark...he stressed out my molly and started chasing all of the other fish as well, as if he were bigger then them! Anyway he found a new home..we really like the rainbow sharks, might have to get a tank specifically for them! :D we are going to try the...

    Sick male molly..

    Well I will take a sample to the pet store only because it's a 40 minute drive an would be a pain to drive there to get a test kit then drive all the way back to get whatever we need to fix the issue...will the salt hurt the Rainbow shark or Gourami? If not I will add a tablespoon to the tank...

    Sick male molly..

    Well that is what we will do then! I woke up this morning and the one Molly that is left is starting the aimless swimming now...time to go to the pet store! Could this be that livebearer disease, since it's only effecting the Molly fish in my tank? Just curious. Thanks!

    Pond in direct sun

    We have an approximately 6x4x2.5 ft pond with a waterfall in front of our house, it was here when we moved on so we cleaned it out and filled it and all of that fun stuff and even put 3 fish in it. Well the water seems to get very warm due to lack of shade and us living in Florida! We talked...

    Why I don't have any fish left in my pond

    I think this is exactly what has happened to our 3 fish. I went to do a water change today and found zero fish, dang raccoons! I'm seriously thinking about getting one of those motion sensor statues! Maybe that will work..or just sit outside all night with a .22 that works too, but we'll try the...

    Sick male molly..

    Well I just got home and Mr. Molly was at the bottom of the tank quiet stiff...so sad, I feel terrible. I will go buy a testing kit tomorrow before anyone else gets sick! Hopefully it's something simple to fix.

    Beta+ other fish?

    So far ours don't fight at all, everyone in the tank gets along pretty well, other then the shark occasionally chasing a Molly. Thank you though, that's a negative on the Beta...I guess we'll just have to get him his own tank :)!

    Beta+ other fish?

    I've seen Beta fish in tanks with other fish at the pet store but I didn't know if I could put one in our tank...we have 2 Dwarf Gourami, 1 Rainbow Shark and 2 molly fish in a 29g tank. Does this sound like a disaster or will this work out ok? Thanks for your input! :)
