Is it normal for a fish to lay on the bottom of the tank and swim up to the top then back down?
if its a betta fish they will do that sometimes. if it is tired it will sleep at the bottom (just to make sure its sleeping and not dead, tap the glass gently to see if it moves a bit) but it will go back up to breathe since they do breathe air if its another fish maybe its sick or it might want to make some bubbles with its mouth.
Why does your goldfish keep swimming up and down in the corner of the tank?
cause they see their reflection
Foam on the surface typically means the filtration is inadequate. The tank is polluted. The foam is caused by proteins that are not being removed by the filter.
Either increase your filtration (this may just require cleaning the filter), or
reduce the number of fish and other aquatic animals living in the tank.
Frequent water changes (15-20%) per week can help avoid protein foam problems.
How do you take care female betta fish?
mid to upper 70 for water temp, gave her a few guppy friends to keep her busy, shes in a ten gallon and i change the water at 25% once a week, i feed her betta pellets freeze dried brine shrimp and flack food, she has a few places to hide and lots of live plant with some fake. and her tank bottom is a mixture of aqurium gravel and some river rock. she loves the ten gallon better than the cup i brought her home from walmrt in. hope this helps, oh and dont ever put them with a male unless breeding, and reaserch tht before you attempt, also unless its a 20 long or more, only one female per tank.

Can a goldfish die when it is in the dark?
Yes, goldfish can sleep with their aquarium light on. Having the light on does make it rather difficult for them to do so though.

Having the lights on all the time is not good for the fish and may result in an abundance of green algae.
What is a suitable fish tank temperature?
Most tropical and saltwater fish will like a temperature of 78 degrees to 82 degrees. Goldfish will appreciate temperatures a little lower than this.
What time of year do goldfish lay their eggs?
Pond goldfish will be most likely to spawn in the Spring and early Summer months. This is because conditions are best for fry development at this time. The water is by now a warm enough temperature, and there are plenty of microorganisms in the water for the fry to eat once they hatch.
"Goldfish" colors range from white to yellow-orange to blue to black. White goldfish have no pigment cells.
Does the temperature of a goldfish affect a goldfish respiration?
The temperature of the water can affect the amount of available oxygen for the fish. In a warmer temperature, the oxygen tends to be lower (and even more so if there is algae), thus their breathing rate tends to be higher. In cooler water, there is more oxygen than warmer, and for the most part, their breathing rate tends to be more shallow.

Angelfish can survive on a basic diet of flake food. However, in order for your fish to grow big, beautiful, healthy, and fully develop, it is recommended to feed them live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, etc. For more information, check in with your local pet stores or join a tropical fish forum.
These fish feed on guppies, smaller fish. They also eat plankton. A flaky substance called cichlid flakes and also they are on a special diet where they eat hatched Brine Shrimp and sometimes eat a substance called Angelfish flakes.
Freshwater Angelfish usually do typically well on flake, pellets and frozen blood worms. Saltwater Angel fish typically do well on marine flake, marine pellets and frozen mysis shrimp. A special species specific formula for Angels of both types can normally be found at your LFS.
crustaceans or small crabs or really anything crunchy because they have very strong teeth.
various flake food, bloodworms and the babies like baby brine shrimp
How much do goldfish crackers cost?
Depends where you get them from really, but theyre not expensive at all.
In pets at home, goldfish are on sale for 99p, in some other places they might be up to £2. The one that I've got, was £3.78. But it was a rare type, so it was probably more expenisve
If you mean the tanks as well, ideally you should get a tank at least 10 gallons, but if you are new to fish keeping, you can get starter tanks from places like pets at home for about £20, which are quite big and have a filter with it. Make sure you get an air pump as well though, alternatively, you can just drop a few oxygenating tablets in every few days
What do goldfish need to survive?
It would be good to have sand instead of stones as the fish llike to dig around in the sand and they like to eat all the little backteria things in it and spit it back out again.
They also like bits of Driftwood or wood that you can buy at pet stores. They like little objects to swim around and hide in so a fish bowl isn't a good idea unless you have a rather large one to fit bigger things in.
In my fish tank I put live plants in - but after about a month the fish had nibbled of a leaf as they sometimes consider live plants as food. You can also put fake plants in which are probably more recommended as you can get a wider range of colour and they are also slightly cheaper (I think!).
These are the basics of a fish tank, and you can also put rocks in there too to make it look smore natural. (If you go into a pet shop, they normally have little ornaments in there too. These are nice for little children.)
Hope This Helps!!!!!!!!!!
