    Why do all my fish keep ending up in my filter?

    They are not getting sucked into it; they are swimming/jumping into the output space. It's getting really irritating. At first I though it was just my kuhli loaches (who end up in the filter on a daily basis), but now my guppies are doing too. I check on my fish several times a day. Now a few...

    This is so frustrating... what's wrong with these fish now?

    Ever since I set up and started keeping an aquarium I've had problems. As soon as I got over one thing, another came up. Anyways, I just cleaned my tank today. Before I cleaned it, all the fish were perfectly fine. They all swam around the whole tank and glady accepted food. These fish are all...

    What are some ideal filters for a 20 gallon tank? I would also like suggestions

    I'd suggest this filter: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754143&lmdn=Fish+Filtration+%26amp%3B+Circulation I went through 3 different kinds before finding this one. This is my absolute favorite. It is easily clogged by debris when you are cleaning the tank, but all you have...

    If a fish gets Nitrite/Nitrate poisoning, how long does it take for them to

    recover after they've been moved t? After the fish have been moved to a clean tank with new conditioned water, how long should it take for them to recover? They were removed from the big tank (the one with high nitrites) within just a few hours. I have them in a small quarantine tank right now...

    Fish tank filter problem?

    I seem to have the worst luck when it comes to fish =/ My 30g tank at work has 3 fancy golfish in it. I just found out today that the filter broke, but I don't know when it did. It was fine when I left on Sunday. Anyways, I won't be able to exchange it for a few more weeks because I can't afford...

    How long can fish stay in the bag after you buy them?

    I'm going to the store tomorrow to get fish for both my home aquarium and 2 work aquariums. Problem is that I have to spend an hour at home getting my fish acclimated before I take the other fish to work. The ride from the pet store is roughly a half hour depending on traffic. Making two trips...

    How do I know whether or not something is safe for my fish?

    I bought a cement gargoyle statue to put in my fish tank. How do I know if it's safe though? Since I won't get my fish for another 2 weeks, I was thinking I could just put the gargoyle in the tank now and test the water tomorrow to see if it changes anything. I rinsed it with warm water already...

    Grooming a rabbit- precautions?

    I KNOW YOU'RE NEVER SUPPOSED TO BATHE RABBITS. However, my rabbit really needs it. His cage is cleaned every other day and he's litter trained, but he just doesn't keep himself as clean as you used to. He smells really bad and his fur just looks sort of messy. I'm taking him in to my work...

    How important is the alkalinity level in a freshwater aquarium with tropical fish?

    My alkalinity level is low (about 20-40 ppm) Not sure if that's okay or not =/ Do I need to buy something to raise the level? And btw I'm just cycling right now, so there's no fish yet.

    How to clean a DISGUSTING fish tank?

    So at my work we have this 10g fish tank with 1 goldfish. There were 2 goldfish but the other one died not too long ago. We're getting rid of the current goldfish and adding in some more appropriately sized fish. The tank is disgusting. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. I bought a...

    I'm getting new fish and I wanna do things right. How do I set up the tank?

    I have a 3g tank and plan on getting 3 guppies. I won't be getting them until this weekend. Since I have a job now, I don't have to depend on anyone else to buy me stuff. I wanna do everything right. I want to make sure the water is safe and such. I have about 2 inches of gravel on the bottom...

    Does petsmart take okay care of their fish?

    I want to get some new guppies. The pet shop near me is always out of them, so I want to get them at petsmart. I know petsmart has a bad rep caring for their small animals, but how are they with fish? Also, how much are they? The shop near me sells them for around 6 dollars, and I think that's a...

    How come my fish tank isn't dirty yet?

    I have two angelfish in a 3g tank. I am very aware that is too small, but they are still babies. When they start growing I plan to take them to school because we have huge aquariums in my agriculture class and my teacher has wanted to get some more angelfish. When I bought them I was told they...
