I just got a pearlscaled goldfish today from my lfs. When I got home, I noticed something wasn't quite right with one of his eyes. His right eye is almost completely black... looks kinda like a dialated pupil. It's not protruding or anything, however I was just concerned. Should I take him back...

Hi! It's been a very wierd summer here, as far as the weather goes. One day its a cool 60 degrees here and the next day its humid and 85! We don't have central air so its hard to maintain a constant temp in the house. I've noticed that on the hot days, the tanks temps have risen with the air...

I have a male betta thats just not acting right. I've had him for about 10 months now, so I think I know him pretty well. The past three days he has been laying in the same spot on the bottom of the tank. He will occationally move to another spot, but continues to lay there. He has not come up...

I was at my friends house today when I noticed one of her goldfish was acting very strange. He would float, then sink, then sit on the gravel. Basically, totally lathergic. I commented on it and she then told me that one of her goldfish died suddenly 3 days ago as well and she didnt know what...

The weirdest thing happened.... I have a male beta in a 10gal. 4 months ago, I put an algae eater in there. I knew what could happen... and I knew it might upset the beta and he could attack... so I was very cautious and always was keeping my eye on them. For the first few weeks, my beta flared...

I am assuming that Bio Spira will expire- or at least will not be as effective after a certain time. I opened a package back in September, but I didnt use the entire thing so I saved the rest in my fridge. Now, I would like to start a new tank and I am wondering if that package will still be as...

I just got a 30 gal tank from my uncle (he got a new one for x-mas...what a nice gift! :) ). Anyways...I was wondering if anyone had some good, creative ideas on what I could do with it. I wanted to keep a freshwater tank, and maybe some hearty fish- at least fish that would be fairly easy for...

I never had an algea problem before so I'm not sure how to deal with it. However, today I noticed a lot of algea forming on the gravel, stones, and my silk plants. I have a 7 gal with one male beta. I do have a florescent light that I usually put on periodically in the evening. Should I quit...

My friend has a 20 gallon tank- she just received 2 angelfish from her uncle since he was moving. She put them in the tank (about 2 months ago) and since then, almost every week, they are laying a lot of eggs! It's the same thing over and over though...for a while, everything is fine. The fish...

Hi! I just set up my new tank a few weeks ago (7 gallon) and put my male betta in about a week and a half ago. Previously, when I had betta's, I just used spring (bottled) water. Then I heard that I could use tap water. Well, I have well water (with a water softener) and I was told that should...

I JUST noticed that my tank has a crack down the side of the glass! (it's probably my fault :oops: ).Its up towards the top of the tank. I guess the good news is that it's not ALL the way down the tank, it's just like 2 inches long and very, very thin. It's fine now- no water is leaking or...

Just wanted to say THANKS to all that has helped me get started with my new hobby! (Didnt expect it to go this far, but it has :wink: ). I was having trouble with an old Betta, who passed away 3 weeks ago, and I knew that the next time I would get a new fish- I had to find out all that I could...

I have yet ANOTHER question. This is in regards to feeding my betta. Previously I did have a Betta. All I gave him were some flakes. I did some reading up on Bettas since then and bought some Bio Gold Pellets, some Hikari frozen blood worms and some brine shrimp. Well, now that I have...

This is sort of continuing from my previous questions..although my tank is completely set up and ready to go- I am just waiting for the temp to reach 78 degrees. Heres my questions regarding bio spira. Can I add it with my fish at the same exact time? How should I go about doing this when I...

HI! Just have some questions as this is pretty new to me. I bought a 7 gallon tank with intensions of putting a male betta in it. It was filled with spring water, is at a temp of 78 degrees, and has a filter running. Well, then I learn that I just cant put fish in it. That I must be cautious of...
