I feel very bad making this post, but I hope you all know where I am coming from: My mom has a large 55 gal tank that has been running for some time. There are only 5 fish in it: a small-medium goldfish one lonely neon a cooley loach a small pleco a medium chinese algae eater The tank is a...

I got brine shrimp kit to see if I could hatch them and feed them to my betta. They hatched alright, and I poured them in his tank and he set about gobbling them up. The only thing is there were about a million of them. I don't see how he will eat them all. How long do brine shrimp live in...

That's everyone for the help so far with my betta, and he thanks you immensely as well. I have a few questions still, so I thought I'd lump them together here. :-) 1. About temperature. It's getting chilly here in the Northeast. It's in the low 40s tonight. I set my temp in my apartment at...

Have you seen those little overhead lights that clip on to the top of a fish bowl so you can see the fish better? Are they any good? How would they effect an otherwise happy betta? Would he mind the bright light overhead?

I got 2 fish for my 5 gallon tank, a dwarf gourami and a cory catfish. I bought them two days ago and they have been swimming up and down frantically since I got them. I've had corys before in other tanks, and they spent most of their time swimming around the bottom looking for stuff to eat...

I was told today that frogs will kill fish if they can. I figured this to be true if it was a big frog and...

My betta started blowing bubbles the other day, but he didn't seem to know what he was doing. He was just putting them here and there and then staring at them funny. Today I came home from work and he had a big frothy pile of bubbles in one corner of the bowl. Is this a bubble nest or is there...

Thanks to everyone that helped me with my betta questions. I feel a little better about his future now, but my task for this weekend is to re-do the 5 gallon tank he came out of and make it a small community tank. I'd like to put some real plants in there, I was thinking 2 sword plants might be...

I got my betta about 3 weeks ago. He is alone in a 5 gallon filtered hex tank. The water in the tank is clear and the tank is pretty clean. There are fake plants in the tank and plenty of open swimming area. Until yesterday he swam all the time, but starting last night and then today he will go...
