Hello. We appreciate your complimentary comment.
Thank you. Tropical Fish and Goldfish are not good
tank mates. Click
here to read the page about Fancy Goldfish and
scroll down to the paragraph titled "Compatibility",
where you can read about good tank mates for Gold
Fish, and you will see that there are no Tropical
Fish listed as good tank mates for Gold Fish.
Most Tropical Fish
prefer to live in water with a temperature between
75 and 80 degrees F. Click
here for more information about Warm Water Aquariums.
Goldfish do best
in water that is about 65 degrees F. Click
here for more information about Cool Water Aquariums.
Tropical Fish and
Goldfish eat different foods, and Goldfish can not
properly digest Tropical Fish Food. Click
here for more about Feeding Fish.

Hi,
My friend has got so many
guppies that he has breed
that he doesn't know what
to do with them all. So
I was wondering if the local
pet shop will buy them off
of him. How much money do
you get for a good sized
male guppy.

Hello Brittain, your friend should ask to be paid
about 1/3 of the selling price of the fish. So if
the Fancy Guppies are selling for $3.00 each, your
friend would ask for $1.00. Maybe they are common
Guppies that sell for 15¢ each, then ask for 5¢
each.
But not all stores
use the same mark-up, so you should be flexible.
Some stores may offer to pay with store credit that
you can use to buy items in that store.

I have a new 25 gallon Eclipes
setup with two, one inch
long, piranhas and a, three
inch long, Spotted Sail
Fin Plecostomus. I have
been feeding the plecostomus
algae wafers and he has
been excreting a lot ...
Do I even need to feed the
plecostomus algae wafers
or does he get enough food
in the form of algae and
food left over from the
piranhas? Thanks for your
time. I visit this sight
every day.

Hello again. You must watch your Plecostomus eat
and then decide how much to feed it. If your Pleco
is plump and not too eager to eat, then feed it
less. If it seems thin and very eager to eat then
feed it more.
Always watch your
fish eat. If they do not eat all the food, remove
the excess food and feed them less food next time.
If they gobble all the food up quickly, feed them
more.

eating my mother's burl. Click

Hello,
My Dalmatian Mollies gave
birth yesterday and I was
able to catch some of them
and put them into a breeder.
Most are still alive and
swimming in the take and
the other fish do not seem
to be bothering them.
Give me advice please.
What do I feed them?
Are they OK to be left in
the tank? T he other
mollies and pepper catfish
and blue tetras are really
not disturbing them and
they do have places to hide.
How often and what do I
feed them?
Help me!!

I recommend that you keep the baby Mollies in the
breeder net for about two weeks. Click

fish to live with a betta

Hello. You sent me an email yesterday with part
of this question. Click
here now to read that answer, which recommended
White Clouds as good tank mates for Bettas.
(1) Black Phantoms
definitely need an aquarium heater to keep the water
warm. So Black Phantoms will not do well in a fish
bowl. Click
here for more about Black Phantom Tetras.
(2) My experience
is that Fancy Guppies do not do well in Fish Bowls
either. Click
here for more about Fancy Guppies.
(3) You can keep
two Female Bettas in an aquarium but not in a Fish
Bowl. Click
here for more about keeping Female Bettas together
in an aquarium.
So the best choice
is White Clouds and Ghost Shrimp.

Hello!
First I would like to comment
on your great site, its
filled with information!!
I have common guppies which
I would like to successfully
breed, I have a pregnant
female (she is medium sized)
who has already given birth
to at least one baby, I
did not remove her from
the tank soon enough so
I don't know if she had
any more, but since there
is only three other guppies
in my tank and the baby
was hiding in the plant
I don't think there was
any more.
I have now removed the female
from the tank and she is
in her own tank. What
I would like to know is:
Is it common for guppy births
to take a long time?
My female still has a very
large belly, and is still
acting restless.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Jennalee H. |

Reply. Hello
Jennalee, female Guppies release babies about once
a month, and they can release several groups of
babies without a male guppy in the tank. Your female
will probably have more babies soon.

I am looking for the a differnt
kind of shape on the bata
fish that has the peace
lily in it and is there
any other fish of frog or
any other thing you can
put in these bowls to make
them more clorful. If this
is the only thing you can
put in them them I guess
you don't need a bigger
bowl.
Any suggestion on doing
something differt wiht these
bowls or is there a water
graden for the inside of
the home were you could
keep gold fish? Any commets
or suggestion will be apprecited.

To whom it may concern:
I have a couple of questions
regarding the breeding of
fancy guppies:
1 - My female has been pregnant
for over 4 weeks.
Is this normal, and when
can I expect her to give
birth?
2 - Do I really need to
separate the babies from
the mother once they are
born? I heard that
only male guppies will eat
the babies, and I don't
have any adult male guppies
in the tank.
All together I have 3 adult
female guppies, 10 2-month
old babies (from different
females not in my tank),
and a shrimp. Any
advice you can give me would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lani S. |

To whom it may concern:
I actually did read all
of that information before
I wrote the first time.
To be more specific, I am
wondering if the adult female
could've already given birth
without me knowing and eaten
all of the babies.
She has been pregnant for
quite somw time and I haven't
noticed any new babies,
and she is still the same
size with the same dark
spot on her abdomen.
I did not find an answer
to my question regarding
whether both males and females
will eat the babies or if
just the males do.
Thank You.

Reply. Hello
again Lani, thank you for your reply. About the
time a female Guppy releases babies, her body releases
a special hormone into her blood stream, and this
hormone greatly reduces her appetite. Since she
doesn't eat, she won't eat her babies. But the males
have no such hormone in their blood, so they are
hungry and may eat the babies. |

I need to know (and couldn't
find on your web site) what
to do when the fish arrive
from you, how long and how
to acclimate them to their
new invironment. I want
to order right away and
need to know how much time
i need to do this when they
arrive.

Hello Dawn, it takes only a few minutes, when the
fish arrive. Click
here
for the details about how to acclimate new fish.
You should begin
preparing your aquarium for new fish several days
before the new fish arrive. Clean your aquarium
and change 20% of the water each day for at least
three days before you fish arrive. New fish need
fresh water.
