As you may recall, we became the new family of a very lucky carnival feeder fish. We already have OldFish, also a lucky carnival feeder, in a 29 g. NewFish has been in Quarantine for about a month now - doing swimmingly, I might add. Thoughts on making them roommates? OldFIsh is about 5-6" long...

I have a 10 mnth old comet who, about six months ago,was diagnosed with dropsy- I started treatment,but to no avail.Although the lumps continued to grow, he ate,swam and survived. In the last month or so,he got worse-the lumps grew and covered both sides of his body,twisting his spine and making it...

we are in the process of moving our comets to a larger tank. he's lost 3-4 scales from bumping around things in his now too small tank. will they grow back? Now that we have to get a larger tank, its location will have to be in a place that sort of needs to be quiet. Have 2 comets going into a...

Hmmmmm. I know you guys are gonna think that I have lost it. The other night, my hubby and I put a movie on. Our two goldfish swam up together, side by side and angled themselves so that they were looking at the TV. The movie was 2 and 1/2 hours long. I guess they were asleep or something,...

Can anyone suggest ways to reduce ammonia levels? I currently use "Ammonia Lock" but it appears to not be working. TIA Sb

got two comets a new home. they seem to be hanging together now, a lot more than in the old smaller tank. they eat fine, but seem to like to be on the bottom and quiet. just getting used to their new home? they don't seem to be in any distress, just that they have a different behaviour in this...

I posted this in rec.ponds and am just trying to share. I purchased some koi kote from www.koi-koteusa.com and used it to coat the slate tile work in my pond. The stuff worked great! and looks great! It's an epoxy liner sealer that I put on myself and it was pretty easy. Anyways, I just...

Hi! I am thinking about putting a sheet of plastic down on the tank floor for a different affect. What is safe to do this? How about material? Im not sure....

I dont call you any names Tom. I said the phone call is a lie, a fabrication. It is like the long period of time you insisted I didnt have a PhD, or that the Puregold list was run out of Marquette, or that I promoted Jo Ann because I was financially rewarded. All lies, all fabrications. Then...

I am really worried about my tank. I did have a bowl, but thankfully came to my senses and bought the fish a new 21 litre tank. I asked the pet shop person how many litres of water is necessary for each fish, she said 4-5 litres. That would be fine as I have 3 goldfish. But I read EVERYWHERE that...

My comet, about 8" long, lives with his pet snail in a 29 gallon tank. Yesterday, I took off the picture on the back of the tank, and turned it around to the other side. You'd think he was on vacation - he is absolutely fascinated by the change in scenery! A -- I solemnly swear that I am up to no...

Does anyone know if Koi can be kept in same tank as Orandas , black Moor, ryukin etc

Hi Guys, We moved and have not had much time to look at the fish. Wiggles gill covers seem to have turned outward and there seems to be something growing on the gills themselves. I don't seem to be able to find anything that resembles this problem on the web. Any ideas what it could be and...

My neighbor won a fish in the same school carnival we did. They bought 5 more, and put them all in an old 29g tank they revived from the garage. 3 dead so far. I doubt they let the tank establish enough. Their child told me today about their situation, and I told him to ask his Mommy if...

I'm UK based but going to be in NY, LA and Vegas for a few days each shortly. Anyone recommend fish stores in these areas to stock up on test strips, medicated food, anything else interesting?
