Your black ghost swordtail is lying on the bottom of the tank and dosent seem to be moving much is there something you can do to help him?
Your swordtail is probably dead. Remove him before he goes rotten and poisons the water. I hope you are observing the basic fish keeping rules which state :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank need at least 50% of its water changed every week.. Follow those rules and your fish stand a chance of survival. Fail to follow those rules and I can guarantee failure.
My swoardtail keeps fighting with my goldfish They have always got along but the goldfish lost a few scales because of my sucker's tail now the swoardtail keeps going after it what do I do?
Get a separate tank for the goldfish (or swordtail either or) these fish are naturally not compatible and putting them together endangers the lives and overall well-being of both fish. If you keep them together much longer the goldfish will probably be wounded by the swordtail, get an infection, and die. Hope this helps
If your fish stays in one spot for and only comes out when you feed it does that mean it's gaurding it's eggs if she had any?
Depends on type of fish, how long the fish has been in that tank and the occupants of the tank. Some fish stay hidden till either night or feeding. A newly introduced fish will stay hidden normally until it settles in. If other fish have newly been introduced there could be a power struggle and the fish that remains hidden could either be guarding it's territory or being bullied. It is possible if it had eggs that it is guarding them. The behavior you describe does leave that possibility open.
What should i do with the babies of my red wag swordtail fish?
If the tank's large enough, just leave them in there. Red wag swordtails are peaceful community fish. Otherwise, you have four choices: get another aquarium give them to your friends sell them to a pet store do what my buddy who breeds Bettas does with the imperfect ones, and give them to your Oscar. (Oscars are a necessary part of any fine fish breeding program.)

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?
it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.
Is it correct to say a tank that belongs to several fish is the fish's tank?
That depends on what you mean to say. For example, if you have one angel fish in the tank you could say "That's the fish's tank" meaning that is the tank for the angel fish. If you also had a couple of clown fish, you could refer to the tank as belonging to all three fish by saying "That's the fishes' tank." Slightly different spelling and punctuation
