I saw a tropical fish in Walmart, but no one knew what the fish was called. It's a round, balloon looking fish with gray skins and black spots. On the top of the fish's head it had a neon green smug. The only place I've seen them is in Walmart and only a very few times. Anyone know the name...

The fish are gold fish that got too big for my tank. I don't think these things are mosquito larva any more but something else. I've been checking the water and I don't see a reduction in the number even though I haven't fed the fish. Frankly, I'm scared to put my hands in the water since the...

I've found these little worms in the water with my Water Hyacinth. I think they are mosquito lava, but I'm not sure. They are white and about a cm in length. I also, have fish in the water with the plants, but they don't seem to be eating the worms. I want to get rid of them without hurting...

I've read a few post on making drift wood and rocks safe for your aquarium so I'm going to give it a try. I live in a farming area with pleanty of lakes and streams. Some of the areas here are like miniature swamps. I was thinking of collecting some of the wood near the watery areas, but what...

My black loaches look like brown snakes with the head of an alge eater. The liquid I was thinking of using is called Had-A-Snail. It has Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate and it says it's a metallic copper equivalent. The instructions on the back says to use one drop per gallon. When I went to...

The seller said they have a wide range of ages. What would be the best age fry to pick?

I'm ordering some guppies and the seller gives the option to buy 12 fry or 6 adult guppies for the same price to be shipped by priority mail. I've heard that fry ship better than adults, but the fry can die easily from just about anything that happens in a tank. So what should I choose?

I don't have a specific type of guppies. They are the ones from the pet store and I've mixed them with feeder guppies. I think my tank is a 35 gal. Thursday I went to the pet shop and they had only 3 types of loaches. I got two black loaches, but I think they are too small to get the job...

I don't know what kind of snails they are, but starving the fish doesn't work. I haven't fed my fish in a month and the snails have tripled snice I last fed them.

About how much does one of these loaches cost and are they common in pet stores? Also, do they eat snail eggs?

Does anyone know how to get rid of snails? I don't buy plants from the pet shop, but I buy the bulbs at walmart. I've never had a problem with the bulbs having snails, but one day I notice snails in the tank and I hadn't put in any plants or anything in almost a year. Now I have an...

Another thing. I've raised guppies and I know the female is pregnant when she is fat and he belly is black, but what about female bettas? When do I know she is ready for a male? Or can I put a female in with a male anytime as long as he has a nest?

ok now I'm being random. What color female would be good to breed with a blue and red betta?

I was just curious about this. My betta is really use to seeing me and most of the times if he sees me he will swim up to the side of the tank closest to me and stay there. Would he still feel treatened if he saw me near? Right now he is in my dorm so I'm the only person he ever sees. He is a...

Ok thanks. Another question thought. Is there a site or something I can go to so I can find out what the disese is call, how it starts and stuff like that?

My tank is 35gl. I have about 6-10 adults and no telling how many fry. I also have an alge eater and some ghost shrimp. The tank has been set up for almost a year now and i have tested the water and everything shows up fine. I have been using well water for the tank. I have never had this...

My guppies keep getting a hunched back and then die soon after. At first it was just the adults that got it. I thought maybe they were older than I thought. Now my fry are getting it too and I don't know what to do about it. Can anyone help?
