Ok i'm planning on getting a little 10 gallon tank and making a nice planted tank with just male guppies in it because I love the look of a nice planted tank with lots off colour moving through it and guppies have always been my favourite colourful fish. The other reason I just want guppies is...
I use the wardley's crumbles that your talking about and my goldies seem to love them and I haven't had any problems with them at all.
I also feed my goldies some peas twice a week and some frozen bloodworms a couple of times a week if they are lucky.
The bloodworms they love the peas they...
Well i've got 1 oranda and 2 fantails in my 35 gallon, they are still small my oranda and one of the fantails are almost 2 inches and my other fantail is about 1 and a 1/4 inch.
They have been in the tank for about 3-4 months and when I first got them they were really active and always...
I agree with everything said above but also I don't know why anyone else hasn't said this but you should not have a heater in with goldfish as they are coldwater fish and do not need one. To high a temperature will kill them.
My goldfish has started losing scales on both sides of his body. There aren't any sharp objects in the tank i've got some big rocks but they are all smooth with no corners.
What could be causing this and how do I treat it?
yer it was cycled I had some fish in it that I moved.
I think it might be the batch of fish that were at the pet store because the calico one is barely moving and it looks like the oranda might be starting to get it as well. When I bought them there were 2 half dead ones in the tank so I...
bad news came home yesterday arvo to find the white one dead I don't know how it died it was just at the bottom of the tank all stiff and wasn't moving I think it might have had swim bladder. I thought the calico coloured one mite be dieing as well caz he sits on the bottom most of the time but...
So I just went and bought 3 goldfish for my 35 gallon tank about a week ago. They are only about an inch long without the tail. I ended up gettin 2 fantails and 1 oranda I think. The one I think is an oranda is plain orange, looks like it will form a growth on its head and has a completely...
ok so I finally got my light for my 5 gallon and I can finally get it planted.
Question is with java moss how do I attach it to my gravel so it grows accross like grass? I've already got some growing on a piece of driftwood which was easy caz you could tie it down but don't know how to keep...
Will I be able to switch to using a sump after I have the tank up and running?
Also what do the protein skimmers actually do?
Do I need good lighting for a fish only tank?
Can I use the 2 hang on filters I have in my freshwater tank and the heater instead of making a sump and just add the protein skimmer in the main tank?
Was thinking of either using my 35 gallon or buying another 35 gallon and making a saltwater tank can some people suggest everything I need to start a saltwater tank and how to keep it healthy?
Also what are some good beginner fish that aren't expensive incase some mistakes are made? I was...
