    Help when buying fish?

    Goldfish are too dirty and get too big for a 35 liters, which is about 8 gallons (?) US. If you were keeping tetras, tropicals that only get around 2 inches or less, then 6 fish would be fine. with golds its not. Read the one question on here that ask "Fish noobs..." read it. We all argue a bit...

    Is my betta fish dying? He is very inactive and used to be the life of the party...?

    If the guppies are breeding and he is eating..then perhaps he is overfed himself. Plus now the tank is overstocked with so many guppies. have you tested your water recently? Bettas can and do get depressed but in a community tank i would think enough would go on to entertain him. If he has...

    What should i get fish pro's only?

    I agree with Sara. You do need more tetras as they are schooling fish. Rams are actually a good choice as they are semi aggressive and quite pretty fish. cichlids, yes, but not that bad. I wouldn't do angelfish. Actually a nice large chool of black tetras or the lemons would look good too.

    What's wrong with my betta fish?

    Did you get him from a breeder? I would like to know how you know he's only a month old. Usually breeders won't give up fry at that age. Or have you only had him a month? Bettas can change color as they grow..and if this is a fairly young betta it could just be color change. They can also...

    My betta fish makes to much slime?

    This is because it's an un filtered tank. with him making bubbles for a nest and water being still, it builds up. Try a partial water change, a small one, in between your regular ones. Or get a small air pump and sponge filter.

    what cold water fish should i put in a 35 litre tank?

    Actually, golds are not an option. They need at least 75 liters to begin with. White cloud minnows and there are also goldens ones, I believe. If the room isn't very cold, a hardy guppy strain might do, but stay away from any real fancy types. I never kept danios without a heater.

    what does it mean to overstock a fish tank?

    it means there are too many fish for the tank to comfortable support. This means the filter can't handle their waste, there is not enough room for them to swim comfortable. Aggression will become ore apparent. The old rule of 1 inch of fish per gallon is a falsehood. Even neon tetras, some of...
