Bubbles is a yellow tang. He is a salt water fish and needs housed in such. He can be kept in a 30 gallon (one of the only stergeon fish that can) and have a happy home. Salt water is not that much more especially a 30 gallon than a fresh water since you can use a fresh water set up only with...

If it is looking infected I would suggest an antibiotic or anti biotic food for him. How did he get this injury and are you sure it is not from a parasite? You need to be careful with decorations in any fish tank. Try the antibiotic if it is an infection it will help clear it up and start to...

there could be a few things wrong here. First, as was mentioned, molly's can store sperm for up to 5 sets of fry and yes she could still be pregers here. However you said her color is off. It sounds to me like she is fry or as they call it egg bound. this is then a younger or genetically...

Have you tested the water? Sounds like the start of septacemia here. Poor water conditions. (Elevated ammonia or nitrites) I won't go into the bowl issue here however you need to be doing a 50% water change every other day. Not keeping the ammonia and nitrites, nitrates in check will lead...

First off there are tanks that are small and can house certain fish. Maybe not the ones you want to house but they can and do house others. A FANCY goldfish only needs 5 gallons 10 is better but 5 is fine for his lifetime. Comets which rarely exceed 8 inches but can get 12 need a bigger tank...

Ich usually starts on the gills not on the fins.....good catch here, yes remove the carbon, the filter media left in is fine. Mollies not kept in brackish or full salt are prone to ich when they are pregers and that is ALwayS SO no big deal. Treat all inhabitants if you feel they have ich, if...

usually a few weeks. REMEMBER ich is not a disease it is a parasite and it is in ALL water sources. ich will only attach itself to immune difficent fish. Quarantining your fish will not ensure your tank will never get ich since it is reintroduced each water change. In general, it is good...

Koi are technically not carnivorous. they eat more fiber than anything same as is required by your betta. Yes it is fine to feed the koi food to your betta.

More than likely it is from running the sweeper or ceiling fans in the room. (not to say you have hair flying around) but if you have other pets it does. It will sit on the surface of the tank water and will not be sucked into the filter. The other stuff will either settle or get sucked in...

all koi are dark almost black when hatched. the photos others are posting are koi fry that are older and starting to come into color. When hatched they are very dark color. Depending on what the parents genetics are will determine the fry colors no two are exactly the same. Some colors...

The only way to tell if it will take less time is by testing the water. Once you see that the ammonia spiked and fell then the nitrites the tank is cycled. Remember you need to add a source of ammonia be it a raw shrimp or ammonia. No bobert will be fine (by the way that is what we call our...

Usually popeye is caused by something else. A number of things can cause popeye from poor water quality to a Vitamin A deficiency or a bacterial infection. You need to determine the root of the cause. What are your water tests coming back like and are you using the fish to cycle. Test your...
