Freshwater Aquariums

Well, isn't that just a happy little fish trying to show off its unique personality! When a black molly fish is swimming upside down, it could be a sign of swim bladder issues or possibly a bacterial infection. Let's not worry though, we can help our little fish friend by ensuring clean water, a balanced diet, and a stress-free environment. Just like painting, a little love and care can bring out the beauty in every living creature.

Well, honey, that quote comes from the one and only Roald Dahl in his book "The BFG." If you ain't read it yet, you better hop to it 'cause that man had a way with words that'll tickle your fancy. So, there you have it, go enjoy some literary goodness and remember, woe betide thee if you miss out on this gem!

Oh, dude, guppies are like the little vacuum cleaners of the fish tank world. They'll pretty much eat anything that fits in their mouth, including mealworms. So yeah, if you drop a mealworm in their tank, they'll probably gobble it up like it's a gourmet meal. Just make sure you're not feeding them too many treats, or they might get a little too round for their own good!

The common goldfish should not occur in nature. It did not 'evolve' it was developed by man. When it is feral and in 'Nature' and therefore part of a "Food Chain", it is eaten by both Aquatic carnivores and Avian carnivores so it would come into both the Aquatic food chain and the Avian food chain too.

If you're talking about, say, a small pleco, you can partially fill a gallon ziplock-type bag with water, net your fish, and transfer it using the same technique as you would when bringing home a new fish. Clip the bag to the side of the tank, allow it to equalize in temperature, and (if you're certain that both tanks are free of pests and illnesses) add a cup of the new tank's water to the bag. Add a bit more, every 8-10 minutes, and then release the fish, at about half an hour. However, if you're dealing with a more sizable pleco (8" or more), we've found that the safest and FASTEST way to do this is to fill a clean bucket with tank water, half with water from the tank that the fish is leaving, and half with water from the tank it's being moved to. Catch your fish by hand (since the big ones won't fit in most nets), or trap it in a large jar or container. Transfer your fish to the bucket, and move it to the new tank. Yes, you do run the risk of shocking the fish, but if you don't move quickly, it will rapidly deplete the bucket water of oxygen, and die. Try to make sure that there is little to no temperature difference between the two tanks, prior to attempting the move, too- this lessens your chances of doing harm to your fish. We've used this technique several times, at our house, and haven't lost a pleco yet. We did, however, almost lose one, the very first time we attempted it- because we tried the slower introduction of the new tank's water, into the bucket. The fish almost died from lack of oxygen- and this is why I recommend moving quickly! Your best rule of thumb, with the big guys: the bigger the fish, the more oxygen they're going to need- and the less time you have to get them from Point A to Point B. Good luck!

it depends on whatcolour the fish is, if its black than its quite difficult to see but if its silver or Dalmatian than you should be able to see a black dot underneath it and they should try and eat all the food also it would be bigger

There are different kinds of 'angelfish' that have different ocean habitats. The marine angelfish can be found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, as well as the western Pacific Ocean. The Pterophyllum (freshwater genus) angelfish can be found living mainly in the Orinoco River, Amazon River, and the Essequibo River.

Oh, it sounds like the fish may have accidentally eaten something harmful or gotten caught in a situation it couldn't handle. It's important to remember that accidents happen, and it's not anyone's fault. Let's focus on learning from this experience and taking extra care to keep our underwater friends safe and healthy in the future.

Well, honey, if you're on the hunt for a Buxton wallet, you might want to check out department stores like Macy's or Dillard's. You could also try online retailers like Amazon or the Buxton website itself. Just remember, with great wallets comes great responsibility - or something like that.

Oh, isn't that a lovely question! In the beautiful waters of Chile, you can find a variety of fish such as salmon, trout, mackerel, and hake. Each one of them adds a unique splash of color and life to the underwater world. Just imagine the peaceful harmony they create as they swim gracefully in the ocean.

About the smallest sized tank I would advocate is 24"x 12"x12". The hard thing is not the breeding of the Bettas the hard thing is finding the room and facilities to rear the hundreds of baby fish (fry) that you will get from one successfull spawning.

Oranda fish are not considered tropical fish. They are actually a type of goldfish that originate from China. Orandas prefer cooler water temperatures ranging from 65-72°F (18-22°C) and are best suited for freshwater aquariums. They are known for their distinctive appearance, characterized by a prominent hood or wen on their heads.

Well, isn't that a lovely question! Cougars, like other mammals, give birth to live young ones instead of laying eggs. They care for their babies, called cubs, with great love and tenderness. Just imagine a mother cougar gently grooming her little ones in the peaceful forest - what a beautiful sight to behold.

Oh, dude, it's "axolotl," not "axolotol fish." And no, they shouldn't live with other fish because they might mistake them for a snack. Axolotls are like that one friend who always eats your leftovers without asking - not great tank mates. So, keep them solo or with their own kind for a drama-free aquatic life.

Although they come from different parts of the globe, they can be housed together. Of course you will have to make sure your tank is large enough to hold them. Angelfish (Pterophyllum sp.) grow quite large and 2 fish (a pair) should have at least a 30 gallon tank to themselves. Barbs, (B. tetrazona) although they don't grow very big, are very active fish and need heaps of room. They can also be horrible fin nippers too so give them plenty of live food so they are not encouraged to look upon the angels fins as potential protein snacks. Both species prefer to be kept in groups of at least 5 fish so my suggestion for the right sized tank would be a well planted 6 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft with a good quality power filter.

African cichlids generally should not be kept with neon tetras due to significant differences in temperament and environmental needs. African cichlids are often aggressive and territorial, which can stress or harm the smaller, more peaceful neon tetras. Additionally, cichlids typically thrive in harder, more alkaline water, while neon tetras prefer softer, more acidic conditions. Therefore, it's best to keep these species in separate tanks to ensure their well-being.

There is no basic number that can be applied to all indoor plants, it does vary by species. There are tools to help you figure out the specific answer for the plants you have. You can go to the plants.usda.gov website and enter the scientific name of the plant species and take a look at the profile page. It won't give you the PPM but it will give you an approximate tolerance. You may also find the book Abiotic Disorders of Landscape Plants, A Diagnostic Guide helpful.

Estuary ecosystems serve as nurseries for approximately 75% of commercial fish species. These sheltered areas provide important habitat for juvenile fish to grow and develop before moving out to the open ocean.
