hey expat. who the heck do you think you are. if you want me come get
me. My fish are fine

I had a large snail a few years ago but the one day I looked in my 10
gallon tank and saw that it's (sucker) and shell were seperated. I
took him out but it layed eggs. So, now I have six little snails in a
jar. They have layed numorious eggs but nun have hatched. Do they need

I have a skull but one fish is hogging it. I want my other fish to go
in it but they can't. I belive that one fish went in the skull but
when I looked in there the fish that went in there was dead. I think
that the fish that is usually in there killed it.

I'm trying yet again with guppies. I've had a tank for over 40 years, so
I know mostly what's going on.... at least most of the time. Here's the
story. I found a new home for my breeding pair of severums, and bought 3
pair of yellow body red tailed fancy guppies from a local ...

I am new to guppies.(nine months)
My guppy looks like she has been pregnant for six months, is that
possible? If so, how long does she stay pregnant?
Or, do I just have a FAT guppy?

We have a well established 180gal reef tank.  My father inadvertently added
WAY too much calcium chloride on Sunday.  Tuesday I noticed a dead fish.
Yesterday I scooped out 5 more and today I don't see the last couple.  The
2.5' long waving hands looks almost dead, the 1.5' leather ...

I'm raising a nice brood of guppies in a 55 gallon tank with 2 tuxedo
catfish, and a few small plants. Can I introduce a few glass sucking algae
eaters, or will they eat my babies? Thanks!

I'm interested in adding live plants to my tank.  Does anyone know plants
that may fit this description...easy to care for, grow fast, won't be eaten
by tigerbarbs (or gourami, zebra danios), and don't require much light.  And
plants that are carried by most fish stores.

I did test my auto feeder for three clown loach and three tetra. Just
stuck flakes in. They were one solid mess a few days later due to the
humidity from the tank. So, how do I use an auto feeder please? It's
one of the Juwel ones, and I cut a hole in my lid for it.

I have a fiddler crab in a 10 gallon tank with brackish water.  I want to
get a crayfish.  Will they get along OK?  Also, do crayfish thrive in
brackish water?  Thanks.

I didn't really get an answer to thsi question; trying again.
I have tetras with columnaris, and the instructions that come with the
antibiotics are as clear as mud.
Using Aquarium Pharmaceuticals bifuran.   Also picked up some maracyn1 and

I don't know if my cycling is halfway under control or not.   Several people
on one of these lists advised me to keep my pH and temperature even when
making water changes - have obtained second air pump setup, heater and
thermometer and am doing much better with happier fish.    ...
