Read the links you provided but still not sure what I have here. These danios are so crazy! One day they look so strange, either bloated or all bent up and the next day they're perfectly normal..

Why do you keep the temp so high? I keep mine between 76 and 80 and my fish are pretty healthy. I've had my tanks for about 7 months now and never had ich. I would recommend keeping the hospital tank up and running at all times so you don't have to start over every time an illness pops up. Mine...

I have two separate tanks with zebra danios (one of many breeds) and a couple in both tanks are a little deformed looking. It seems to come and go and they don't seem to be affected by it. The head looks normal and then their middle region dips way down and then the tail is in the normal...

I've never had mollies just because I don't care for live breeders but I've had a lot of agression problems with both of my gourami's. It's only been towards individual fish though. I think they feel less powerful against schools. Maybe the gourami had threatened the molly before when you...

Well, my poor little tetra runt died. Found him laying in the gravel. I looked at him when I took him out and he was literally just scales and bones because he couldn't eat right. It's strange because he was part of the first batch of fish I got about 4 months ago and i never really noticed a...

What's the procedure for breeding gourami's or fish in general?

I was just wondering what everybody does with all the little babies when they start getting bigger? I have a 10 and 20 gal and would like to breed my male gourami in the 10 but what could I do with any babies? I think my 20 is stocked to the limit or pretty close.

Petco has advertised a 26 gallon bowfront with wooden stand w/door, filtration and heater for 199...sounded pretty good to me

I put up a post asking this same question a while back. Mine's orange and sometimes he just looks dirty;black in some places. In some light he'll look really orange but at other times he looks grayish. It doesn't seem to bother him at all. I noticed my tetra runt has the same thing running along...

I thought so...hopefully he'll hang in there. I wish you could hand feed them like baby birds...lol

I forgot to mention that he doesn't school with the others. He just kinda hangs out by himself while they play around.

I have 4 neon tetras and have just recently noticed that one of them is a runt. He isn't able to close his mouth at all because he doesn't have "fish lips". When he eats, he doesn't even chase after a piece of food, he basically has to float into a piece just right for it to enter his mouth...

I have a question for those of you with dwarf African frogs...How do you feed them and what do you feed them? Mine rarely comes to the surface and if he does it's just for a split second and then back to the bottom. I've had him for a few months now and he's doing fine I guess. I feed him...

I chose a 20 high and kinda regret it in the end. I think it's a lot prettier than a long tank but obviously the surface area outweighs everything else. Plus, you could keep a lot more fish in a long than a high. The only benefit I could see is you can fit a high into a smaller space than the...

I have 2 male gourami's, a thick-lipped and a giant, and they both build nests but have never been in a tank with a female. They just do it occasionally which is kinda perplexing. My family had lots of birds growing up and female birds lay eggs every so often even if they don't have a male...

I bought 8 zebra danios about a month and a half ago and after about a week I noticed one of them with a much larger belly than the others. Nothing ever came of it and now I'm noticing they all have quite large bellies even though they're spread between 2 different tanks. I think I just have fat...

I think I can help ya with this because I have the same problem with my gourami. I had him in the tank with 4 neon tetras, a dwarf frog and an algae eater and never had a problem with him. I bought a giant gourami and when I added him in the orange one acted like he wanted to mate and wasn't...

I figured he was probably sick when I got him. I didn't test the ph but will in the future. I keep my tanks at an even 7. The danios are extremely active and one has a fat belly but no scales sticking out. I'll keep watch...wish I could post pics but no scanner...

I just bought a spotted cory catfish lastnight and I found him dead under a plant this afternoon. I noticed my gourami picking on him a little when I first put him in but I didn't see any wounds or anything. Could he have died from being lonely? I didn't have any other catfish for him to school...

i have given my fish both dried bloodworms and brine shrimp along with their flake food...they NEVER touch the shrimp, even if i crumble them small enough and my gourami's will swallow the bloodworms but spit them right back out...i have a dwarf frog also so i drop in sinking granules that say...

and once you get a bigger tank, you always want to put the fish you already have in it because you know they'll be happier...then you're stuck with a smaller tank again...lol

Just to put my two cents in - I started out with a goldfish bowl and the fish died the very next day so I guess you're doing something right if that little guy is still kickin it in a jar...lol...but seriously, I eventually went to Wal-Mart and bought a 5 1/2 gallon kit. It was maybe $27 and...

we're talking flourescent right? the hood i currently have uses incandescent...what should i do about that?

I wish I did have pics but I don't have a scanner here. By the way guys, keep posting pics - I love to see all your fishies!

I got my first 2 fish at Wal-Mart a few months ago, a black moor and a regular old goldfish. I had to go to the garden department to ask for help in pets and went back to the fish and waited for probably 10 minutes till someone finally showed up. It was 2 young guys and I could tell they knew...
