Hi, I've been planning to buy a second hand fish tank, but do I have to worry about disease? Like, if the previous owner's fish died of a disease that can't be "washed out of a tank?" or is it perfectly safe if I wash the tank, and clean it? Also, if I plan to raise goldfish only in the tank, do...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could possibly measure their 10 gallon tank (width and length)? I'm trying to figure out if a 10 gallon tank would fit on my stand :)

I have a simple little tank, and I have a plastic tree in there, it's made for aquariums, and lately I notice they like to bite at the plastic tree, and I also notice that in my tank, even when I clean the water, I see what looks like little bits of clear plastic floating around in the water...

Thanks a lot for the info :)

Sure, great, but how often do they swim around and look lively and such? :P They look really gorgeous, but are they as lively as say, goldfish or guppies?

I have a pretty small tank, that I had goldfish in, and they didn't do to well. I always overlooked beta's because I assumed they'd be boring to look at. Whenever I see 'em on sale at petsmart or stuff, they don't look very active. If I put 'em in a tank would they "liven up?" I kind of liked my...

30g is pretty big though isn't it? I mean my gold fish only grows to be an inch or so long...

I can't figure it out, because I woke up one morning and one of my goldfish died, and then a day later another fish started moving really slow (It liked to hover around in one spot very closet to the ground), and when I woke up that was dead, now I only have one goldfish left. Did I try and put...

I have a little tank (maybe two gallons) with three little goldfish in 'em, and I feed 'em and they eat all their food, but I'm not sure if I'm over feeding them or not, also some of their food ends up in the gravel at the bottom of the ank, should I be worried about that?

Well my brother found it "wrapped" against the filter, and when it got free, it's fan-tail was gone, ripped off. It died later. Do fish often get maimed from filters? :S

My brother (who isn't a fish expert) went into the living room this morning and saw one of our guppies caught in the filter, it's tail was apparently shredded off. Is this a normal occourance how he described it? Should I do something to block off the filter?

I hope you guys don't mind a definite absolute beginner question, but I don't have a ton of room just yet, and I'd like to start kinda small, maybe 10 gal or less. I was wondering what kind of fish I could keep in something less than 10 gallons? Is that too small for guppies and other small...

and the last shrimp stnading was named KING.

Be sure to tell me if I'm wrong, but I thought 79-80 was the "norm" for guppies? I could easily be wrong though. I'm a total newbie. On the topic of goldfish, I know they're cold water fish, but what else is good for beginners that can be raised in cold water, or are there just enough...

I've got some dark blue mixed with white blue gravel in the bottom of our fish tank, but all we have is guppies tetras and mollies, is this bad for that kind of fish? :goldfish:
