My uncle decided to catch fish from a nearby pond (in Oregon) I checked them out and I don't think they belong in a fish aquarium, but he has them in a 30G octagon tank. Far too small to say he also has a nearly 12" pleco, 2 2" plecos, 2 2.5" gouramis, and a mid sized (?) 7" goldfish/koi in...

My convicts had fry about five days ago and I have no clue how to feed them. I've read online that you just have to finely crush flakes up and feed it to them, but the fry are all the way at the bottom. If i put my hand down there I'm sure the father would run away, but the mother is willing to...

Haven't been here for a few months! >.< So I got my mom an early mother's day gift. I added two convicts to her BP tank. I got them cause I want them to mate with the BPs-although it's probably too late cause the female BP laid eggs two or so months ago so I think the BPs paired up...(After four...

I've been doing regular 50% PWCs every one to two days and all of sudden the health of the tank dropped tremendously Day one of bad health: black Mollie breaks out with ick, blk Mollie fry dies Day two: dalmation breaks out with ick, finally added some ick treatment Day three: another fry dies...

While feeding my mom's BPs I noticed the small one was swimming around the new log thing we got it and she wouldn't eat. To my surprise I saw all these little bubble things. She laid probably 100 eggs! It happened a few hours ago :) so now I know the sex of the cichlids-assuming that the two...

I performed my first PWC ever in my whole life. It was easy, and none of the fish were hurt. They were hiding as I was doing it though. As soon as I was done (and I mean right after they realized I was done) my black FEMALE Mollie started nipping at my silver MALE Mollie. She is chasing a llllll...

My mom has blood parrots in her room. I did a lot of research and from my understanding they can be with Acei, Convicts, and bumblebee cichlids? Non cichlids they can be tank mates with are angelfish and loaches? It's a 40 gallon tank so loaches are out of the question. I read that their teeth...

I keep reading about changing the water in the tank on this forum. There have been fish tanks in my family since I was 8 and we've never changed the water, and our fish have always been healthy. Even when the tank had maybe 6 more fish than it should the fish always stayed healthy. Maybe we've...

I was just wondering if the color and shape of the fish waste is significant to the fish's health. I have three mollies (black, silver, and dalmation), a red wag platy, and a red tailed shark. The color of their waste changes from time to time so I was wondering if that means anything, and...

Hello~! my name is Dre. I'm 17, and I really like fish. When I was younger my mom was sorta a hobbiest to fish. She had about 50 or so and her tanks were beautiful. They froze to death on our way to Oregon from Oklahoma-except the algae eaters and a couple of these purple fish. We started a new...

Hmm... I'm actually not sure how long we've had them I'd guess three+ years? They're BPs one of them is rather large and completely turned an orange-creme color. The other one is about half the size (maybe three or so inches); s/he hasn't grown much since we got them, but his orange color is...
