I just got a new tank a few weeks ago and have put in mostly angel fish. The fish were fine and a week or so later I put in three spotted catfish and I put a colorful backing on the back of the tank. Now, the angel fish won't leave the surface of the water unless I feed them. Any...

I contacted my local water company to find out weather they are using chlorine or chloramine to disinfect my water and they told me that they use chlorarine, but due to a reaction between the chlorine and certain organic material a small amount of chloramine is produced. the amount is supposed...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've checked out "World of Fish" and "Forest Lake Pets". I want to be pretty sure I'm getting pure strains and not hybrids for breeding purposes. Thanks!!!

I was wondering where conscientious aquarists think tropical fish should ideally come from. From the wild or from farms?

Is the flaring of a betta's fins a sign of it NOT liking that he's seeing himself in the reflection of my tank, or is he seeing himself and saying, "I'm so beautiful"? I've got him in a tank with a black back and he's seeing himself and flaring his fins, and his neck at himself... After a few...

I currently have 3 Leopard Danios and 1 Zebra Danio in my 10 gallon tank. All parameters are within range. The other night I noticed what looked like nicks in the Zebra Danios sides. It moves so fast it was hard to see exactly what it was, but the skin looked marred. It is not red or bleeding. ...
