to welcome some more fancy fish after the cycle. I think

I lost a link to a page that discribes common conditions that occur on fish,
my 6-10 inch goldfish  are turning black starting around the gills and
spoting on the sides . Can someone direct me to a link that I can use or
explain what might be the cause.

my little black moor has been in quarantine for 3 weeks, and I will
be moving him into the main tank (63gallon with 2 Moors, 2.5" and 3").

Hi, I'm new to this game so bear with me...
I have a 20 gal tank with 2 fantails & 1 black moor. I'm about to put an air
stone in the tank, but should I put it on top of the gravel or buried just
under it? Also should I put the airstone close to the filter or away from

I did not notice before, but now it seems like I have some kind of bugs on
top of the leves of my floting plant, the same kind is on the glass of the
aquarium. It seems like it is not going down into the water, just on top of
the water. They are abouth 1mm yellow/red or smaller, ...

How long does it take before it starts to appear?

I know the rule is 10g per goldfish, but does this hold true when they get to

Please help!?

Ok, you can leave fish on their own for a week without feeding
what about fry that are between 4 days and a week old? Can they
withstand being left for 2,3 or 4 days on their own?

I acquired a new fish a few weeks ago who was riddled with fish lice. We
successfully got over that, followed by a bout of severe ich, and he's
healed beautifully and is looking great and seems very healthy. However,
this morning while he was chewing his pellets I got a look inside ...

A new fish shop that has opened near me sells lots of different medications
that I haven't seen available here in the UK before. I bought a bottle of
Formaldehyde(30%)  today but the instructions on it aren't too clear and I'm
not sure how it should be used. As mentioned in a ...
