for two days now...the tank she is in is at 7.2 the new tank is at
7.6...and that the best it ha been yet...I keep doing water changes and

I've currently got a decent sized tank with 2 goldfish and 2 zebra danios
(cold water) at the moment. I'm hoping to add some more danios to keep them
happier as a pack, and would also like to get a cold water sucking catfish.
The guy at the local fish shop (while being very rudely ...

Hello to all my fellow GF fans,
 I think I've created a monster. I have this GF, "Nelson". (a gorgeous
fellow, all the family is just crazy about him.)  I think he's some kind
of comet.  Body structure is not long and slender like the run of the

I plan on eventually trading in my plastic plants for real plants in my
existing aquarium.  I want to primarily use Seachem's Flourite as the
substrate with some regular gravel on top.  My current substrate is a
very thin layer of regular gravel.

Does anyone have any thoughts on using a heater purely for maintaining a
constant temperature. Any comment would be most helpful.

Hi. I have a problem and could do with some help.
I have a small pond in the garden where we keep about 12 goldfish. Recently
there have been some new additions to the family, about 30 of them. I'm no
expert but I do not feel the pond is big enough to support that many fish.

My tank has a recurring ich problem.  How do I clean the tank thoroughly?
I've been doing frequent water changes and adding medication when the ich
problem occurs, but the outbreaks seem to get worse after each water change.

I have three albino danios in a tank with some zebra danios, 3 peppered
catfish and 3 clown loaches... one of the albino danios has lost an eye, I
only noticed this yesterday... will this cause any problems?

Do damaged fins repair and grow back? One of me goldfish has torn its tail
and a piece tore off.
Do goldfish have memories and if so how long are their memories?

Hi all, I am new at this, so would appreciate some advice.
I had a new tank set up:  10 gal, undergravel filter, a bunch of hornwort &
2 small (1") fantails.
I had the tank running for a week before adding the plants, then the fish 2

Can anyone recommend a UV filter for a 33gallon tank?  I'm looking to keep
costs low, but I want it to work!
Thanks!

My oranda, which i have only had for about a month, seems to have a long
tail, not including it's fins.  It is a young fish, about 2" in length at
present.  Will it's tail look shorter as it grows? or is this a genetic
defect? or possibly it has been stunted?

I wonder if someone could help me - I have just returned from a 2 week
vacation to discover my  goldfish (who were being fed by a friend)
have become diseased.
The fish themselves are black moors and fantails and the symptoms are
