That definitely sounds like something to be concerned with! Unfortunately I haven't encountered this before, but I recommend using this website to try to diagnose the fish: http://www.fishyportal.com/diag/ It is also worth talking to the fish store - I know some stores offer a 7 day guarantee...

oops, this is the correct link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsh060dghqvb5cf/IMG_8850.m4v?dl=0 And it just occurred to me to mention that the fish I am speaking about is the green one. Today he's in his own make-shift tank. I've been able to notice a few more things about his condition - 1) it...

One of my fish is swimming increasingly oddly, do you guys think he's sick (in which case what does he have and how worried for my other fish should I be) or is he just getting old? I purchased some GloFish tetras 3 1/2 weeks ago (5 fish in a 10 gallon tank). One of the fish is clearly on the...

Removable screws keeping the figures attached to their display perch (for those adults who like to collect figures instead of play with them). But there isn't metal on the figurines themselves - the screw goes right into the plastic.

Thank you! And, incase it is relevant to anyone else, I finally heard back from the company that made these particular toys: "Thank you for contacting Hasbro regarding our Star Wars figures. Our figures, new and old are made of PVC. We don't recommend placing these figures in an aquarium...

Hello! I have some wonderful Star Wars action figures that I would love to use as decorations in my aquarium and am looking for advice/input from other people on how to look up a particular toy's type of plastic or a good coating. The most complete list of aquarium safe plastics I've found is...

Thank you for your response! I was instructed to fishlessly cycle by adding a small amount of food every other day. I was told that the food would decays and represent the waste of fish. It seems to work fine! My levels were really good. I called the pet store - they are goldfish! Feeder...

I need some advice on some "hearty" fish I recently purchased to aid in cycling of the tank: I am in the process of setting up a 10 gallon tank. I spend 2 weeks fishlessly cycling with some live plants. Went to the pet store last Friday [two days prior to posting this] with a water sample...

I think I need some clarification, it sounds to me like you're saying they can be in a 5 gallon, 15 gallon, or 20 gallon tank, but a 10 gallon tank is unacceptable?

Hello! I am new to the wonderful world of aquariums! I recently purchased a 10 gallon tank and am in the process of cycling it (I had originally thought I'd purchase a smaller tank as I live in a small apartment, but doing some research I decided that 10 gallons was the smallest tank I can...
