I had a sick betta, (which I talked a bit about in a couple posts
here) He seems to be doing a lot better.  Used to be at the bottom of
the bowl now he floats more towards the top but he swims around a lot

One of my Black Molly's seems to have lost the ability to remain upright.
The fish seems to have plenty of life left but for the last week everytime I

floating upside down. Anyone know why this might be ...

Is it ok to keep Angle fish, Kissing gourmis and bala shark in the same,

haven't used it since treatment which has been about a six days, due for

I'll be setting up an automatic water changer in a few weeks and I've been
having trouble with the math.
The reading I've done suggests that a 20% daily water change is still going
to leave the fish swimming in 82% crap (r = e ^ -.2) as opposed to 50% to

This is a general alert for all the folks who rely on water testing at
a local fish store. If you see the LFS testing water with a dip stick

goldfish in who seems to be having the time of his life... all the water
levels are good, there's enough nitrate to show that the tank is cycling,
