Ok... I know fish can have peas, lettuce, cucumber, zucchini. Been informed they can have oranges (goodf or constipation?) and melons. What kind of melons? Also are there any other fruit you can feed freshwater fish? Any that are down right toxic to them? How often can you feed your fish...

What else is in your tank besides this frog? I would remove the platy, not the frog and treat it. Salt is good when medicating it helps the fish absorb more of the meds. Platies seem to be pretty hardy I just had one that was sick for a week and now is back to being perfectly normal. What...

I have also read that you can cycle your new tanks "fishless" buy going to the grocery store and buying one raw shrimp. Unshell it and throw it into your tank after you set it up and monitor the level for several weeks. It can take WEEKS to cycle a tank. This is why a lot of people do not cycle...

Hi, I have a male betta in the tank with my mollies. He has always done spendidly well with them up until recently. I put a new female molly in the tank and he has gone insane. He immediately went to attacking her. Now is he alternating between making a bubble nest (which he has never done...

I have tetras, mollies, and platys (three different tanks) and I have fed them zucchini before which my mollies adored, and everyone eats the peas (i feed them peas once a week) but I was wondering if anyone knew any fruit I could feed them. I have seen the LFS feeding their tanks what looks...

NO! I do not recommend water changes every other week. I pin my betta's illness on my own stupidity and laziness. I have currently changed to a schedule of water changes every week via a gravel vaccum to clean up the bottom of the tanks as well. I have added some new things to my fish up keep...

Hey Wuv, Yeah I medicated him yesterday with 10mg per gallon of the minocycline. I upped his temp to mid 80s and added aeration to his bowl to up the water flow. He remained lethargic yesterday but this evening three hours after changing the water and redosing him with 10mg he was alert and...

If you do have four males a few more options are just to take them back to the pet store OR build another tank, put two of the males in the new tank and add females to both. I have platies in my main tank and unfortunately have a lower female to male ratio than I would like but only one of my...

I have heard that Mollies are actually the livebearing fish that is least likely to eat their own young. As for how true that statement is I do not know I have a five gallon tank with a male and several females and they have yet to have babies nor get pregnant (I have only had them for a couple...

Thank you for the advice, he is a looking a bit better now several hours after the water change (the color in his face is almost normal). I will try seperating him into an epsom salt bath. Now is there some special espom salt I need to purchase or can I just get the same kind they sell at the...

If it is constipation and due to overfeeding will it go away on its own? Or is there something I could do for him now to help him out aside from getting him to eat more ruffage type stuff because he won't eat at all? Kitten
