The best solution is to start calling fish shops around town to see who has room for the fish. Hopefully somebody can take it in. Keeping it in a ten gallon tank isn't very comfortable, and is really ...

I think that part of your problem has to do with overcrowding. Africans are very territorial and need much room. They sometimes will bully themselves to death. For ten, I think that a 50 gallon tank s ...

I have seen my tiger barbs hang nose down after a meal. They tend to be more bouyant and wont swim around as much after eating. This is part of their normal behavior. They should, however act normally ...

Just make sure and set them up with plenty of time before you leave. You want to make sure exactly how much food they are dispensing. Also the placement of the feeders is important. sometimes they are ...

There's no way that a five gallon would do for anything but maybe a lonely fighting fish. Your looking at over 100 gallons, and even that would be small, depending on what type of catfish your talking ...

Unfortunately, your fish is way to big for your tank. The jaw action is actually the fish gasping and trying to get more oxygen. In a large tank with good filtration, the catfish would be comfortable ...

I heard this yesterday from my daughter. If there is any sunscreen for that, really would like to know![/u]

Any fish that is eating guppies as their only food source, will not be very healthy. Add to that a ten gallon tank, and your talking about an incredible amount of waste ammonia in a very little tank. ...

I was given a grown iridescent shark, about 6 inches long. It had a nodule on its "nose" where it always swam into the glass. I believe that the iridescent shark is simply to active and grows too big ...

Angel fish require large tanks, heavily planted, and soft water. If you don't have all of those, then your angels could be stressed and die. Goldfish require huge tanks... or better yet, ponds with co ...

They will reproduce, you will see a large dark spot o ...

I don't think that such a small rise will effect the fishes. Just keep an eye on it with time. Hopefully you wont have to get rid of the new substrate.

Something that I am using that is very nice is pool filter sand. It is very inexpensive and does not produce the extreme cloudyness that regular sand does. You can buy it at any pool filter supply co ...

The salt is so deeply set in the filters, that there is no way that you could re-use the actual filter floss material, or media. The filter (machine) could be used if rinsed out well.

Find yourself a good local fish shop that can advise you on fish selection. You will need a good live substrate and a protein skimmer. Your present hang on the back filter will work fine. Look into a ...

To my knowledge, all the ich cure products are good. Just dont overdose the tank, follow the directions to the "T" and remove all carbon in the filters. The carbon will take the medication out of the ...

Any fish will grow quickly in a large tank and with regular water changes. Still others will never reach their full size if confined to a small tank with little water changes. Make sure and provide bo ...

Graavity has some valid points, you really don't mention how big your tank is; or how old you silver dollars are. It really is not a good idea to raise wild caught fish. They harbor all kinds of germs ...

well if your really going to use a hydrometer, it would be better if you bought a little bag of instant ocean.
The aquarium salt is really for medicinal purposes to help fishes gill function.

I keep my silver dollars in groups of three or more at all times. They also live in 100 gallons or more, so there may be some stunting if conditons aren't right...like KC5gvn said. The nitrates can ad ...
