Your reaction to it was kind of what I expected, unfortunately. But I don't think you're approaching your tank the right way. You need to look at it as an ecosystem that you're responsible for. Too ...

You've got a couple of options...

Hope they will get eaten by the fish you already have.

If the parents don't eat them you can go out and buy a fish that will, like a female betta.

Goldfish don't really get lonely, so you don't need to buy a new one. In fact, with one of your fish dying and the other acting as though it's sick, I would hold off on buying another one until you f ...

Generally speaking, Malawi cichlids get too big and are too aggressive for a 30g tank. You can keep a variety of tangyanikans, virtually all species of shelldwellers. You could also keep brichardi i ...

Wow, you've been getting really bad advice.... The Petsmart near me is pretty good, but the store near you sounds terrible. The bacteria mentioned before grows in a colony both in the filter and in ...

If it's been awhile since your last water change, I'd do that. Changing about a third of the water every 2-3 weeks can do your fish a lot of good.

I have a 29g with breeding brichardi, 4 adults and 4 fry that are well on their way. I'd like to add an electric blue ahli to this tank to spice it up a bit, but I'm concerned about the aggression fr ...

I agree with Shineillusion, I don't think your GTB is dyed. I do appreciate your concern for dyed fish as it is a horrible practice.

Here's a picture of some dyed fish:

A predatory fish that you could keep in a 20g tank would be a Leaf fish or a Bush fish. Petsmart sells a Leopard Bush fish as a Spotted Leaf fish, not sure why they screw the name up. I still wouldn ...

Large frogs like to eat small fish, and large fish like to eat small frogs... so you need to be careful.

But first things first:

1) What size aquarium do you have/will you be getting? If you're ...

Would I just let it soak for a day or two and then rinse it, or put a couple of gallons of water in the bottom, add the bleach and scrub? I've never done anything like this and I'm a bit concerned I ...

I was just given a 40 (?) gallon aquarium that used to house turtles. The woman that gave it to me was very concerned about diseases and germs. She told me I needed to clean it out with saltwater be ...

I'm not a big fan of adding chemicals to my aquariums, so if I see a hurt or sick fish I quarantine it and try to treat it separately.

For me:

1 fish with ich = quarantined treatment
2+ fish ...

If you have a quarantine tank available, I strongly suggest you remove your infected fish immediately into that tank.

To treat ich, you'll need to find some ich medicine to treat the water with as ...

I'm trying to move into a house with a friend and a third person the friend only sort of knows. The third person signed the lease and THEN said that she has bad allergies with dogs and essentially ve ...

Assuming you have an adequate filter and heater for the other fish, there are fairly simple rules to follow when keeping a betta with community fish.

1) nothing that the betta will confuse for an ...

I've never heard of any kind of digital test kit, but a much simpler (and cheaper) solution would be to simply ask your LFS (Local Fish Store) if they'll test your water for you. I know Petsmart will ...

Well, I've filed the police report, and the officer said that I can go after her criminally for destruction of property for the value of the tank and the 2 fish that died. Everything else would be 'a ...

So... I'm at work today, thinking about what to eat for lunch when my roommate calls me and says "don't be mad at me... it's not my fault. My ex-girlfriend just knocked over one of your fish tanks." ...

The master test kit that I have and use is $27 at petsmart, but since I live in a major metro area it's probably a bit pricier here than it would be elsewhere.

I can't think of any reason the test ...
