Thanks for the condolences. Oh wow, I wish I would have seen that ages ago. I would have given him is own tank. I have a 30 gallon just sitting in my basement. I often considered doing surgery on him. But I was afraid. Well if it happens again now I know what to do. I just wish I had of...

My fish has had a tumor behind his eye for a long time now. It was more flat than bulky. It covered most of his gill plate, but It never seemed to bother him too much. He didn't have trouble breathing. Sometimes he would seem to become aware of it and would try to scrape it off for about 10...

My weather loaches, I do love them, but they have caused so much trouble.

Yep, and those are the ones I have. I love them but they are trouble makers.

He is having no trouble eating. He is eating the flakes that are stuck to the filter intake right now. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort. Acting pretty normal, but he was a little more skittish after. That could be do to the lack of hiding spots since I haven't redecorated the tank and the...

My loaches do that sometimes. Its just a loach thing. I read that it has something to do with the weather and way back when sailors would keep them on their ships and when the loaches were acting crazy then a storm was coming.

I noticed I had been only seeing one loach. So I tore the aquarium apart looking for the other one. Normally when one goes missing he is well hidden in a plant. I took all the plants out and still no loach. Then I was worried he was slithering around the house somewhere. I searched the whole...

Wow, there is about 10 related topics just on the first page. Having you all seem him and give your 2 cents helps me calm down though. Does this look like a tumor to you? Cyst? Its doesn't seem to bother him that much, sometimes I will see him trying to scrape it off, this will last a few...

Wow I just looked at pictures of them. They look so weird. They are fuzzy with clearish legs. I allways see fiddlers and red claws as freshwater around here. Just asssumed petstores wouldn't mess that up. Maybe I will try a brakish tank, only done fresh water befrore so this is going to be a...

I was planing on building the crabs a way to an elevated section and having the water a couple inches lower. I had no idea all crabs we're brakish. I have allways seen them in freshwater tanks at stores.

Do you think some sort of crab will get along with a rainbow shark?

I don't think it could have been more then 55g either.

I pretty much like all fish. But I don't think angles look as good once the get those fat lips. I love goofy looking fish like flounder, celestial goldfish, weather loaches...

In a chineese resturant

I don't know anything about BGK but, my weather loaches do that. I will see them swim up to it to get sucked on. If there is just one and the other sees him he will try to stack ontop of him. They are there because they want to be. Maybe it feels sort of like a massage chair to them or something?

Right now all I have is a test for ammonia and ph. I did a water change yesterday and the water was fine when I tested it. It looks like you got a red lifesaver crushed it, found a thin flake, stuck it on him. It doesn't look like a scratch to me, unless it is infmaed or something. I think...

According to PETA they are cruel to the animals. http://blog.peta.org/archives/2007/01/animal_abuse_at_1.php Not shocking to me. I remember when I was little and was at PETCO some guy was joking about stomping on a hamster. You don't have to be the animal to observe that it can feel pain. I...

My fish has been flashing and I know that is a sign of parasites and there is a red thing on him. Any ideas what this is? I tried to take a picture but all I can use is my cell phone because the lens on the digital won't retract. This is the best I could manage...

When your IT professor gives you an assignment to make a blog you know immediately what hobby you are going to write about. ....It had to have a creative name and the only thing I could think of was The Fish Tank.

We just officially adopted her!
