Thanks for the replies all!

Check this fish tank out. And in the description it says it is perfect for goldfish, ect.. Look at the dimensions! So small! This is not perfect for any fish! http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product....&cat=255&page=1 :angry: :/ :crazy: :angry: :/ :crazy:

Thank you everyone for your replies! Fawke: I am very sorry to hear about your fish. I just wanted to give a quick update about my fish. I decided to leave the fish in the breeder net in the tank. I have a 10 gallon with only one other fish besides the sick one. Unfortunately the plastic tub...

Thank you for your reply! I don't have a quaranteen tank. I do however, have a plastic tub that I have used to hand wash clothes once in the past that I can move the fish to. I am sorry to hear about your fish. The symptoms your fish has sounds alot like what my fish has. It just seems to...

I can't! I hate to see it suffer, but I just can't bring myself to kill it. :( :no: :/ :( :sad: :-( I think the fish has some sort of fungus infection, but I think it is too far sick to treat it. :no: :/ :(

Hi all I have a platy that is lying sideways on the bottom of a breeder net. (I put the fish in a breeder net to keep it away from the other fish.) She is trying to move but seems to be paralized on one side if that makes sense. The fish was sick for a while, but anything that I have done to...

Thank you very much! I will try it and let you know how it goes. :)

I am hoping someone can help me on what to do. I have a platy that I think is going to die. The symptoms of the fish: Fish does not swim straight. The fish seems to have no balance and sometimes goes on its side. Also, alot of the time the fish will be at the bottom of the tank. Right now...

Well, I tried to put it in my signature, so I hope it worked. This first post is my first test run with the sig. Edited to say: Woohoo, it worked ! :kana:

I have :kana: tank in my living room.

Thank you very much for your help everyone! :)

I am not sure how to even explain this in a post. the inside walls of my tank has a slime coating on it. The glass doesn't look clear. It makes the water look like it is slightly cloudy. But the water in reality is clear. Does this make sense? What I am asking is, how do I clean the inside of...

Sounds interesting! I tried to do a search on it, but nothing came up. Do you know who the manufacture is? Does it have a different product name besides "waste eating gel beads"? Any more info can help! :kana:

I am currently treating my 10 gl tank with Parasite clear. Does anyone know if I can use aquarium salt with it? I have a very sick fish and I am hoping to get an answer quickly. I will be doing a water change shortly and adding more medicine to the tank. thank you !!

I agree with you 100%. You are absolutely correct. As I said in a post before this, I went to an aquarium in NY. (The huge ones with dolphins, sharks.....) And I talked to 2 professionals there about touching fish. They said you should never touch fish no matter how clean your hands are...

Actually this is a very interesting topic. I went to an aquarium in NY, you know, one of the huge ones with dolphins and sharks, ect..... I was talking to one of the professionals there about how I pet my fish, lol. This person looked at me and said, " Never touch fish, and went into a big...

They are aggressive fish. I agree with the others. You also might want to read this link. http://fish.orbust.net/dwarfpuffer.html

I have heard of that happening before!! :crazy: Some guys family video taped a man taking a piece of gravel out of their pet goldfish mouth with tweezers. (I saw that one on tv) Also, my boss who had a goldfish had the same thing happen to her goldfish. They also used tweezers to get it...

I only have :kana: 10 gallon tank. I plan to upgrade to a larger tank in the future when I move to a bigger place.

I am very sorry to hear about your fish. Can anyone answer why aquarium thermometers go up to and past 100 degrees? What fish would require that type of temp? :blink:

Thank you very much for everyones replies. Actually, I got the filter running back up that night. I found out that I didn't set it up properly when I took it apart to be cleaned up. I do however plan to buy a new filter though. The filter I have has the sponge and the carbon all in one...

When I got my 10 gallon tank, it came with a filter and heater. The heater is a good quality heater, but the filter is a cheapo filter as I soon found out. The filter, which is only 3 months old decided to go kapootz. I was told to change the filter pad every 3 months, which today was my first...

Just an update incase this happens to someone else: Problem solved! I bought an aquarium divider. My 10 gallon tank has turned into five gallons per fish. I didn't have the money or the space at this time to set up another tank. This way, it works out great. When the baby gets older, I will...

thank you for the replies everyone. The both fish are females. Maybe they do need time to get use to each other. I just put the poor baby in the tank yesterday night. It's not constant chasing but enough for me to be concerned. The adult doesn't hurt the baby, she just chases her. I released...

I have an adult mickymouse platy in a 10 gallon tank. I decided yesterday it was time to add another fish. I went and bought another mickymouse platy that from what I can see is still a baby. (Such a tiny little thing compared to the adult) Anyway, the adult one keeps on chasing the baby. The...

Do you know if they would take the fish back? If you're not sure, I would go there or call them and tell them about the situation. Don't bring the fish back if you're not positive that they will take it back. This would cause a lot of stress on the fish being transported back and forth. Keep...

Hi Lithril, I bought an automatic timer today. I am testing it out as I type this post. How many hours would you recommend leaving the light on? The top of the light gets hot after a while.

Thanks for the tip everyone! Goldfish, if you look at the link you put in your post, you can see the one I had, yep, I took it back today, and the one I bought in replace of it. I had the Automatic Feeder from Hagen. I took it back and got the Proquatics automatic fish feeder. :)

Hi ! I am going away for a week so I am going to purchase an automatic feeder. Well, I already bought one but I am taking it back to get a better one. I only have one fish in the tank. My question is, has anyone used a timer for the lights? I was going to set the tank light on a timer for about...

10 gallons of water per goldfish is the rule. They should no way be kept in a bowl. I wish I could help you but I don't know what else to say other them to a bigger tank. good luck!

Thank you for your help everyone ! Ostrow, The filtration I have is the type that hangs outside the glass. (Not sure the exact name). I only feed the fish once a day. Because of my work schedule, I get up too early for the fish to want to eat. The ammonia test I have been using is from...

When I was originally doing the partial water changes, I would test the water every few days and it seemed like the ammonia was going down. Now, the level is going way back up. I have been using seachem prime as a water conditionar. I only feed the fish once a day. When I was doing the partial...

Hi, I set my 10 gallon tank up back in August. My tank will not cycle. The ammonia is high and has been high since August. I was doing partial daily water changes for a while then I stopped. I am going to start the water changes again. Any thoughts of what I can do? I only have one platy in the...

What is the lowest temp. of the water can I have to keep platy fry in? I have 2 platy frys in containers and the room temp. is getting cooler. :crazy:

When that happened to me, I did a 50% water change and I used ammo lock2 in the water. Ammo Lock2 detoxifies ammonia (does not remove) and also can be used as a water conditioner. I did daily partial water changes of about 10 to 15%until the level dropped down. I am convinced that Ammo Lock2...
