Hey there, You have got to be resonably careful with what fish u put with what fish. For example I wouldn't put too many male guppies into a tank with one female coz they will harass her and she will most likely die. about 2 males to a female should do it. Also be careful of 'nippy' fish like barbs, they are major harassers but also can be eaten by gouramies. Dont over stock ur tank either. Put one fish to 2 litres of water. If its a coldwater tank, gold fish are fairly easy going. They wont eat eactother or anything but on the other hand paradise fish have a 50% chance of being aggressive so be careful. And always watch the action that is happening at an aquairum/pet stores tank. If there is a domanent fish that chases or is more intensly coloured, make sure u don't get him coz 80% of the time ur gonna have trouble. and as a general rule don't put big fish with little fish. And cichlids can be very aggressive. Always keep your fish well fed. but don't over feed. This is what I learnt from working a few years in an aqaurium. Got any other questions? message me on www.myspace.com/wahbeagle. Cheers :oD

How soon can you put tropical fish from one tank to another?
If you are going from the pet-store's tank to yours you should place the whole bag into your tank for at least 30 minutes then release the fish. If you are going from your tank to another tank you should wait until the tanks are the same temperature then go from one tank to another.
Can you have two male betta fish in the same tank?
No, because they are fighting fish and one of them will kill the other.
How can fish be influenced by another fish?
Bettas become particularly aggressive when they find other fish with large fins. This is an example of an influence in behavior. Fish can also be influenced depending on how many fish that live in the same tank. If there are little amounts of fish, they will grow quickly and large, as opposed to fish who are tightly packed in one tank, who don't grow as much and, sometimes, stuns their growth.
Can someone keep apple snails and fish in same tank?
Yes, snails and fish get on fine but you must count each snail as one inch of fish length to avoid overstocking the tank (fully stocked is one inch of fish not including tail per gallon of tank water).
When you went to put one of your fantail fish back in the tank a part of its tail was completely off now you have noticed that your two other fish also have one little rip in a part of their tail why?
have you ever thought that your fish were not compatible? Some fish such as beta fighter fish are very domianat over territory and can not be in the same tank as another fighter fish. I believe tha your fish may have fought leading to the rips in their tails.
Why would one fish peck at another fish in there tank?
They want to play with each other or they are bored and hungry. The third reason is bullying, leave the fish that bully's in a seprate tank for a while until it stops.
Do Siamese fighting fish live in fresh or salt water?
They need a 5+ Gallon tank and you can only have one in the same tank.
Can glo fish and lobsters cohabitate in the same fish tank?
No. Glo fish are freshwater organisms and lobsters are saltwater organisms. And if they could live in the same water, one eats the other.
What did one fish in a tank say to the other fish in the tank?
"I'm not sure how to drive this thing, but you can shoot the gun if you want."(Joke refers to 'tank' meaning a tracked military vehicle as well as an aquarium. That they are living out of water and can reach the controls seems a little fishy.)---Another answer to the same riddle, in the same vein:"You man the guns. I'll drive."
What happens if you change a betta fish into another aquarium twice in one day?
Provided you made sure that all the water parameters like Temperature, pH, and GH were the same as the water the fish was in previously and you handled the fish gently there should be no ill effects whatsoever. That does not imply however that it is good for any fish to be moved willy nilly from tank to tank.
What happen when you change a tropical fish tank to a new one?
As long as they get the same food and are surounded by the same enviroument they will stay the same. But they may be confused if the tank has things moved around. But they get used to it.
Do angelfish eat other fish in the same tank?
Mostly, community fish. Angels tend to be a LITTLE on the aggressive side, but are not that aggressive so, I suggest not putting your angels with other aggressive fish, as they will probably fight or kill one another off...
