It sounds like your goldfish are starving for oxygen, for one thing. Also if thrre is so much waste in the tank, as scavengers, goldfish will try it to see if it's edible. You need to vacumm the gravel, cut back on the amount you are feeding (the more food, the more poop) as most people overfed...

Bettas are known jumpers When he jumped out the first time, didn't you think it might happen again/ I'm not yelling here..but in the three years you had him, how much research did you do about them? Because every site out there will tell you they are jumpers. In the wild, its how their ancestors...

I'll be honest here..if you have such a love of writing..why aren't you doing so? Any story ideas must come from your imagination..anything i say will only be something I;m interested in, not you. look at what you really like..things you don't l.like. You like Sparks..how much do you know about...

Unless its running down the side of the tank, or puddling on the floor, its just evaporation at work. If the air is dry in your house, you will ,lose more water then if there is more moisture in the air. Just replace it. Here is a link to a site that tells about cycling your tank...

They don't sleep as you do, but they do rest. Bettas are known to even lay at the bottom of the tank or on plants.As for the light, they really prefer non-direct light. As for color change? usually by the time you've gotten him, a betta is over that. They do go through some change when growing...

Males will have loads of color and long, flowing fins. When you purchased it, they should of told you. Read this site. http://bettysplendens.com/articles/catview.imp?catid=853

No one can assure a betta won't go after anything, nor can they assure you that the others won't go after the betta's long fins. All i can tell you is that if the tank is big enough for all, they should go together. Make sure the neon's are not real small. Betta's love live food.

no, doubt they are sick. fish are like peole, all are different. i know oscars that will only eat live food where sonme only eat pellets. Find what your likes.

probably not sick yet, but beat up. Males and females should never be together unless spawning them and then you never leave them alone, you monitor them. Take the poor girl out and treat her with some antibiotics now. Those spots could be lost scales.

As your tank is rather small, a school of fish would be hard to do, as most schooling fish grow up to 2 inches and you really need 5-8 fish for a good school. You could try neon's, cardinals or any other really small school in about 5 fish to see. Gouramis, especially blues, get bigger and would...

you should of never taken this fish home and put them in a tank. I knwo, some people do, but its cruel as these are wild fish, not use to a tank confinment. And a ten gallon tank is way too small for them. Your tap water, even treated is nothing like what they are use to. Please sit these fish...

I've started a series that I know will encompass four books. but sometimes sequels are called for when the book sells so good. but for the most part, most writers know they will write more stories about the characters. And sometimes a series is planned but the sales are so bad it's never...

As far as I know and having them for years, nothing will happen. It seems he is happy in his home. I'm glad you are not rushing to try and bred him. Just because he is building a bubble nest doesn't mean spawning would be a snap. Just enjoy your little guy!

Can't do without a picture. And most catfish are hard to sex anyway.

If its not red like blood or white and fuzzy looking, it could be a wen developing. Exactly what type of goldfish do you have? if its a oranda type or lionhead, and very young, it won't have a wen(head cover) yet. one person described it as the fishes brains coming out..LOL its just a fleshy...

Usually there is a blurb on an inside page if the author has a web site. or if non can be found,, send it to his publisher. Google the author and see.

If he's in a bowl ad not at least a 2.5 gallon, heated tank, you won't see him do much. Bettas love warm water, around 78-80 degrees F. And a steady temp at that. Colder water will over time, stress him and he will become unhealthy. Check and make sure there are no little spots of white on his...

Have you read anything on spawning? You should never just leave the female in there, especially if they don't spawn right off the bat. This process is very rough and you need to be on hand in case one or the other is getting beat up badly. she is just hoping he won't beat her up again. If when...

If there was no male, the eggs are infertile. if there was a male, both will be protecting the eggs. If there is a male, I would take out the other fish and leave the pair in the tank...but the heater must not be running..it would get too hot for the eggs.

Start with a 55. That way you can see if you want to do that much work on a bigger tank down the line. Good luck!
