    Can I put a bala shark and a upside-down catfish with 2 goldfish and a sucker fish?

    Goldfish are coldwater fish. Goldfish grow up to 12 inches. So do balas. Balas are also schooling, and need a group of at least 6. 6 balas alone will need a 150+ gallon tank. Since Im gonna assume you dont have a tank anywhere near that... No.

    Can my catfish eat my other fish?

    Picture? Some catfish will eat tankmates in a heartbeat. While some get along just fine. And the description you gave could match quite a few catfish...

    i think my gold fish is dieing he has like a red bloody spot on his head and

    Probably ammonia burns. How often do you change the water? And how large is your tank? Those are probably the two problems right there.

    any food recommendations for an African butter fly fish?

    Id recommend floating cichlid pellets. Id imagine floating carnivore pellets would be good also. Small mealworms or waxworms on occasion would probably be a good treat also.

    why do my pond fish keep dying !?

    When fish are outside, they tend to find their own stuff to eat. Like that mosquito larvae, they were probably eating that along with what you were feeding them. They probably ate too much. Or there was chlorine in the water. Feed them once a day, or even better, every other day. And honestly...

    Do betta fish need to have a clear tank?

    If you are taking care of a friends fish, Id say leave it alone and in that tank. Unless you absolutely know what you are doing, your friend will come back to a dead fish. Also, if you can only see it from the top, you cant really see if anythings wrong. When you can see his sides, you get a...

    can i get a job in my local feed store in the fish department?

    It all depends. Ask what their age requirement is there. A local one near me hires only 18+, while another one will hire at 16.

    What type of fish is this? and is my fish pregnant?

    Well why dont you put them back in a tank, and take a picture from the side. Im going to call them some type of tetra, but its really hard froma top view where all you see is a line. Sunburst platy maybe. Theres a reason why people tell you to research before you buy. That way you can actually...

    Why do people diss fish bowls? It is possible to make a fish live in a fish bowl!...

    A female betta in a bowl. Ok. But what about the fact that they are tropical species? There isnt room for a heater in that bowl. Thats why 2.5 gallons is minimum recommended for a betta, because thats about the smallest heater thats made. I stand by all fish need filters to clean their water...

    flower ocsar fire eel arowana parrot fish they eat dry shrimp and dry fish?

    Dried foods arent good for them. They contain alot of fat. Oscars and arowanas should be on a pellet diet. The others, Im not so sure on.

    Help! Stocking my 20 gallon fish tank.?

    Red tailed sharks grow to about 5-6 inches and can get mean and territorial. 30 gallons would be needed for them. More if you wanted tankmates. Pictus catfish max around 8 inches I believe, and need about 55-75 gallons. Also, once they get around 4-5 inches, theyll eat your neons. Tetras are...

    The Betta fish have to be kept separate from one another so?

    First, bettas shouldnt be kept in bowls. Breeding bettas requires research so you know what to do. Basically, youll need a larger tank, with a divider. Male on one side, female on the other. Feed them bloodworms and other live/frozen foods for two weeks or so. When the female has vertical...

    Definitely more tetras. They are schooling fish. The more the merrier.

    My Beta fish is being overly aggressive toward other fish can I change this behavior?

    Each betta has a different personality anyways, but most are pretty easygoing. Bettas dont normally get along with guppies or gouramis. Thats pretty standard. Frogs are a hit or miss. I have a betta that doesnt allow frogs in his tank, but hes ok with tetras. Then I also have bettas that do just...

    Are Cherry Barbs considered a nasty fish?

    Not all barbs, just most of them nip. Cherry and gold barbs are usually pretty peaceful. Dont worry about it. Theyll be fine with your current fish.

    Looking to purchase a fish tank?

    Rule out saltwater if youre only willing to pay 250 for one. That would probably buy you the tank, and maybe the stand. If you want bowfront, that just makes the tank cost more. You could get a 55 gallon standard kit for around 200 dollars The stand would be another 50-100. Then youll need about...

    can i divide a 30 gallon fish tank and put on one side salt water and the other

    Nope. That would require completely sealing both sides from each other, and having two sets of filters, heaters and everything else on each side. Youd spend so much money on that, it isnt even worth it. If you want both, just get another 30 gallon. Thatd still be cheaper than spending all that...
