    What is your favorite 'shark' fish?

    Well,how big's the tank? Bala basically get along with everything (they do better in a group though),so you could put them with anything your heart desired (within reason) except another "Shark" species that is aggressive (Red Tail?... ouch). I've seen them with everything from Ghost Knifes to...

    can fish live with a gradual temperature drop at night?

    The Betta .... in its natural range and habitat.... can actually see a 10C shift in temperature over a 24 hour period. You are actually warming into the zone they expect in the daytime and cooling to the zone they expect at night.... so no big issue.

    What to do with 2 gallon fish tank?

    Mangrove Killifish.... but only one.This fish hates space (find another fish that way),dislikes other fish (most hermits do),and is really pretty simple to care for (but secure lid needed.... or it'll go on "walk-about"). Hard to beat this fish for small spaces... and it has some really unique...

    what kind of environment are you trying to create in your aquarium?

    1 tank is strictly "rocky Central American stream with snags",another is "South American sunken log and gravel bar",another is "sunken tree root" (takes up half the tank volume),another is "North American Gravel stream bed" ( turns over at 30X tank volume hourly... for my Darters)

    what fish to get when i have tropical supplies?

    Just research this fish.... Mangrove Killifish. Sure it's not the prettiest fish,but the tighter the space,the better it likes it. You could only keep 1 ... it despises other fish as much as it dislikes space. One is all you'd need... after researching it,you'll know why.... and would make a...

    What happens if my Fish doesn't move?

    What kind of fish? Different fish behave different ways. If the behavior isn't "normal" for your fish,then test the water quality. Ammonia 0/nitrite 0/nitrate <10... water change accordingly to get there/stay there.

    how many days can fish go without food?

    Any of the fish you listed would be safe out to around 21 days on average, Where I might worry would be what the routine you feed them now is. If they are used to "3 squares a day" type feeding then the food chain might kick in....if they are used to "once a day" or the occasional missed meal...

    if fish could fly????

    Basically it would be topsy-turvy.... Fish would fly,we would be aquatic...Shark attacks would stay the same. We'd still fish for fish....just with kites. If it were reversed.....submarines would be boats,boats would be submarines.Worse for us...boating accidents would go up.Better for the...

    What types of fish go well with Ram Cichlids?

    There are smaller Rainbowfish...and there are Blue-Eyes (same family). Also some smaller Gudgeons (Looks like I'm on an Australian kick here). Modern tank-raised German Blue Rams can handle a little wider range of pH and hardness...they are being bred in concrete vats nowdays in parts of the...

    Pro's / Con's of 50 gallon fish tank?

    You're not saying what kind of fish....that would really help. If it's a smaller species of fish...you can use the room involved with a 50g to run 3 10g's(actually a cheaper investment overall) and split up the fry into "grow-out" tanks.Make you feel like you're "Going Pro". If it's a larger...

    What else can i feed my fish?

    You don't give any species...so... Go to any "species specific" forum/website...guarantee there's at least one for every genus of fish...and almost promise there'll be a thread on there about food varieties and "home-made recipes". Looking at the diet though,there's a lot of protein ...but not...
