    Please help- adult angel swimming at angle and refusing food

    Hey, I remembered reading this a few weeks ago and now it seems like my angel is acting the same way!! :( :( Another thing is, though, it seems like she can't open or close her mouth all the way-I've seen her spit food out and then not go after it when other fish are eating, she is at a weird...

    Corys or Otos?

    IME wild caught corys are definitely more shy. But I have 5 albino corys (2 are offspring of the first 3!) that have as much character as the angels in the same tank. I love corys and their silly little whiskers!

    Honey Sunset Gourami from Petsmart?

    I've had this kind of experience with these guys too! I've had about 5 or 6, most while I was desperately trying to figure everything out with my tank. I have very little experience with cichlids (only angels!) but each one of these honey gouramis has a great little personality. One would spit...

    Stubborn ich and stressed fish :/

    Huh! I've never even heard of that before :/ oops! ok, i'll up the temp more, and if that doesn't knock it out, then i'll do my best to get a UV filter. I can always check Craigslist..right? Gahh disease is one of the horrible parts of keeping animals :( But thanks so much!

    Stubborn ich and stressed fish :/

    Hi all, Since I got home May 15th, my 5 cardinal tetras have had ich, at varying stages. It was really terrible at first, so I added Rid-Ich at the advice of my LFS. After I seemingly depleted their stock of the stuff, I started using Ich-Attack. This has been visible on only these fish since I...

    Video of my Tank

    this is SO cool. what kind of webcam are you using? I've been thinking about doing this for a long (long being about 3 days haha) time, so I can watch my fish when I'm not at home.. but clearly I didn't look too closely!

    Questions about Angels Breeding

    Hi, sorry for posting 2 completely different threads in 2 days. I'm currently at college on the other side of the country, and my mom recently brought home a mated pair of angelfish. What kind? She has no idea. Anyways, for some reason, "mated" didn't register in her mind that meant they would...

    Save an ugly betta campaign

    This is a really frustrating situation.. Obviously I would bring them all home if I could, but then the big stores would just buy more (under the same conditions). But all in all, I think if you purchase an ugly betta (which I've done-he was all white and had pink and blue spots on him, like a...

    Its a long shot-can you ID without a picture?

    Hi guys, I was in my lfs over spring break (March) and in one of their planted tanks, they had the COOLEST fish, and of course I asked what it was and promptly forgot. Since I'm at school right now, I can't really go back and ask what it was.. and I really want to know. I've been looking at...

    Stocking a 55?

    thanks very much. the first day with the betta was kind of an experiment, and also quite an experience lol because I saw him flare his gills for the first time, but they seem to be doing fine. Assuming I find a camera in my house that works (ugh...mine died) I'll take a picture of the tank and...

    Stocking a 55?

    right i think even my parents figured out the guppies died because the tank wasn't cycled :) but I'm not totally sure what kind of filter it is, the whole system was a Top Fin kit... I'm working on getting a backup heater per advice from someone here (sorry I forget who!!) So I guess that's...

    Stocking a 55?

    My family's new(ish) 55 finally has fish in it! It cycled really nicely, and I'm actually very surprised by my results. Once I convinced my parents to get in on the tank, they suddenly became very excited about it and acted like impatient kids to start stocking it. So now, only a month and a...

    dumb newbie mistake (about my goldfish)

    okay so a long time ago I got a 12 g with a biofilter. it cycled fine, everythings fine in it, and I got a few too many goldfish to put in it. duh, first mistake that I know now. but so now, I still have my one comet goldfish, who is creatively named "Yellow Fishie". Obviously, he (I am assuming...
