Yep, I agree with the above. I only considered this after nothing was working even when I wasn't feeding for days. I do get the logic behind the abuse of antibiotics and I try not to use them unless I am more confident. But how are you so confident that this is not a bacterial infection? I get...

Hi all, I have a broadtail Ryukin that has been having swim bladder issues for the past 2 months now. It isn't a standard SBD issue though. Below is some background: - He didn't have issues when he was a juvenile ('22 summer), no bad habits gulping at surface either and never had any buoyancy...

12 x 12.5 x 4 = 600 cubic feet If 1 cubic feet is about 7.5 U.S. gallons then 600 x 7.5 = 4500 gallons

So if I want to keep a betta sorority have a lot of hiding space and a good amount of bettas. Additionally, aren't the first 15-30 min the worst?

How long did it last, and were there a lot of disputes within? I also agree on various colors vs the nice school part, but I just wanted to know do things settle down later or is it still unpredictable. Thank you for the response, btw :D Hyper27

I have come to a decision that I will keep smaller fish in my 29 gallon tank. However, I was wondering if I should keep a Colorful Betta Sorority or an Active Tiger Barb (consisting of Albino, Regular and Green Tiger barbs) tank. If I go with the bettas, I will possibly be saving them from...

Correct me if I am wrong, but that is 2 angelfish right?

I completely understand that a 29 gallon is not the best tank for angelfish. The reason why I am even using it is because I previously had fish and this tank has been sitting in the garage for a good 2-3 years now and because my parents don't want to buy a 75 gallon and have all the fish die (...

Great! What gender is generally less aggressive? If I have the ability to get 2 males/ 2 females, which will be better? Additionally, if I do get a male and female that form a breeding pair, will they be very aggressive to all the other fish?

Ok, now if I do this, the angelfish will vary in size. If this happens, will there be any issues? Additionally, would two be ok, because I have heard that keeping one solitary for that long will make it more aggressive towards others in a tank full if angels.

I've heard that angels do better schooling in groups of 3 or more as juveniles... Is that true? Also are you saying 2 due to aggression levels?

Okay so the soonest I can get a 75 gallon will be 6 months from when the angelfish will be introduced. How many do you think I could put in the temporary 29 gallon?

Okay now if I did a community with 2 angels in a 29 gallon, could I later do 6 angels with a community in a 75 gallon, or would I be better of just doing only angels if I wanted that many?

What would you find easier to care for? I have had goldfish in the past, and swim bladder was a problem I noticed time to time. Also how long would 4 angels in a 29 last? 1 year can be shortened as well if necessary... I already have the 29 gallon btw

I'm kind of torn between getting Fancy Goldfish or Angelfish for a temporary 29 gallon tank. What I mean by "temporary" is that I will upgrade to a 75 gallon after a year. I know for goldfish that I could only keep 2 in a 29 gallon, then keep around six in a 75 gallon and have 10x the...

I am considering buying either a panda Moore and blue oranda or a panda oranda and red capped oranda from them. Are they a reliable and worthwhile site to buy from? Additionally, if I get a panda or blue fish, is there a chance all the color could go away and it'll be some regular fish color?

Anybody know how good the quality of fancy goldfish are at petsolutions.com?

I've had a 29 gallon acrylic aquarium for about 3 years now with some gravel on the bottom and an aquaclear 50 hanging on it. I want to clean it up so I can start up on a new fancy goldfish tank. I heard that acrylic aquariums require special care, any tips here?

Yeah I will get new gravel. Will a good rinse work too? Forgot to add that the tank is acrylic if it changes anything...

Thanks guys! I am going to clean the ol' 29 gallon tomorrow! I will also be ordering filters etc. soon. Any advice on cleaning the tank itself though? I have has it in my garage with an aqua clear 50 hanging on it along with some gravel in it for 3 years. Note: we did not clean after the fish...

I recently read somewhere that goldfish are much harder to keep and maintain than tropical fish because they get sick easier and require more maintenance. Is this true? Additionally, how would you handle a situation when you will be away from your home for more than 1 week or so?

Alright, but to ensure that no mishaps will happen, I should cover the filter up with foam, right? Is there any specific foam I should use? Additionally, will the aquarium be very turbulent due to the overpowered filter?

Alright, I guess I'll go with the 70. Now for the aeration system, in the Tetra Whisper line, should I go for the 40 or 60? The 60 apparently has two lines and the 40 has one.

Thank you for all the help! For the filter, should I go with a Aquaclear 70 (300 GPH) or Aquaclear 110 (500 GPH)? I have seen people on youtube go a little higher in filtration than 10x tank volume.

When I introduce the new fish, should I just put both of them into the 29 gallon (after the fishless cycle)? If I do this, will there be a possibility that the fish could get sick? Additionally, can fish get sick even if you keep everything top class in their aquarium?
