I looking for a copy of W. T. Innes's book "Goldfish Varieties" for my library. This book came in many editons, and I am not sure which I should be looking for.If I recall, from the ones I've seen some but not all contained color plates. Does anyone know anything aboutv what the various issues...

I'd also like to mention my thanks for the people in the group. If I hadn't read on one of the fish keeping websites/articles on the newsgroup, I'd have no idea how to diagnose that. Since I was aware of the problem, I was *kinda* ready...

I know its fairly common for this to happen occasionally, but does anyone know what actually inspires the fish to do this? A few weeks ago, one of my gf's sisters goldfish (about 6 in a fairly large tank), decided to swim from the bottom of the tank, upwards at great speed, jump out of the water,...

Is there any way, or should there.... be a way to treat fish water with medicines,etc to keep little nasties from even getting a chance to start? How about a "one a day" vitamin for fishies, or is there enough in the food they get? Reason is that I see so many posts with sick fish and they don't...

For topical treatment of Red Sores, Ingrid/Joann recommend an application of Peroxide or Mercurochrome, followed with a dab of Neosporin or Panalog. Is the Peroxide basically the one you buy at the pharmacie? What concentration should I look for on the bottle? Can i use Polysporin instead of...

I moved my two apple snails into a small tank recently as I needed to salt my baby moors tank. I am amazed at the amount of poop these snails excrete - the water has turned cloudy in only 2 days!

got a whole bunch of sand dollars and clam shells I'd like to use in the tank. Any ideas what kind of covering I could use to make them safe for the fishies? there must be some kind of marine plastic coating out there... Craig

Hi I'm new here and I've had bad experiences with newsgroups so I'm treading carefully here.... I have 1 Koi, 1 Ghost Koi and 1 carp??(it was sold as a carp but I have my doubts). The 'carp' is long in the body, very narrow, kinked tail(fault I think) and down turned mouth. I have noticed that...

....posted to alt.binaries.aquaria Originally named Pepper, due to mostly black, this Oranda is transiting to some combo of orange, black and white. We wait with bated breath to see the results. :) Gunther

I have sand in my tank at the moment and have recently started feeding sinking pellets rather than flakes, and they sit nicely on top of the sand. I will be upgrading to a bigger tank soon (probably a Juwel rekord 70 or 96) and am unsure about having sand as I am concious of it being sucked in...

All my frozen food doesn't come with instructions. I've got a simple question. Do you stick it in frozen? I usually just pop in one of the tablets and off the fish go. I'd hate nibbling an icecube for my dinner, should I defrost them first?

Looks like I may depart S Cal before I thought I was going to.. I desperatly need to find a home for some GF and Koi. The Gold fish and small Koi are free (these are common GF and Koi, including a Black Moor ). Unfortunantly I need a small price for my other Koi. I am in the High Desert. -- Tim......
