Hey all. Aleydis here... Lil' Mama (the lone survivor of the spawn of Big Mama) gave birth to her first batch of guppy fry. There's probably a few dozen fry cramped in a hatchery in my 20gallon tank, and I need to find a place for them. I've been told by my friends that I should take my Betta...

Thanks. Um. I feed him pelleted food most of the time, and a few bloodoworms, tubifex, flakes and mysis shrimp. The only frozen food I have in my house are baby brine shrimp, which Levi can't even see when they hit the water o_O He's still going horizontal and seems he has difficulty coming...

I saw Levi poop today. It's not stringy at all, in fact it's rather thick and pink colored. =X Yup, Simba's in another thank. Levi's doing everything like normal, eating like normal and everything. I've actually seen him swim around the tank today, doesn't look too much like swim bladder...

So my blue crowntail Levi's been kinda off today... =/ He's in a 1gal, but I usually change water 70% every 3 days... Except this last week I was very very busy at other people's houses so I didn't change his water for maybe 4 or 5 days...? D: I think he's got Swim bladder now. I just...

Lmfao. Thanks Netty. =) -Hug- You saved Dion's life. <3 This is the first time I've actually had like... Actual fish medicine in my house 8DD IT FEELS SO GUUD. Before I just had Melafix and Pimafix. =)

I recently moved a Betta from an unheated 1 gal tank to a nice, heated and filtered 5gal. ...What should I do with the 1 gal? I know I can't put any fish in there, but what about snails and shrimp and frogs, etcetra? =D As long as there's something living in there I don't mind. =)

Ok then... So... I'm going to change his water again and give him another dose just in case... Same for levi, and then 2 days after I'll change the water again and that's it. I think I'm going to leave Dion in the 5gal. He probably likes it better there. Levi got used to his 1gal because he...

Um no... There's nothing about dosing again if necessary... In fact the medicine warns to not overdose. =/ ...I actually dont think they had velvet at all now... 'Cause Dion still has the same amount of gold shininess on him and Levi... Well he was probably never sick in the first place, and...

Hey again! An update on my Velvet sick fishies... They look like they've fully recovered and I've finished the required doses a day ago... But when I shine a flashlight on Dion I still see gold stuff on him. I'm going to change his water today... But should I continue to dose? =/ Dion...

Does that mean I'll have to cover all sides of the tanks? 'Cause I have DIon in the kitchen... And we turn on the lights when we eat o_o Btw- I have a thermometer, but the scale's really close.

Update! Levi: Levi looks fine. He hasn't been showing ANY symptoms of illness, but when I shone a flashlight on him the day before yesterday I did see some gold... So I treated him with Maracide just to kill the parasite before it does any harm. Hopefully I caught him in an early stage and he...

I need to make a fish tank cleaner that works on buoyancy, which means it raises and lowers itself in water. It has to scrape off algae as it moves, and that means a scraper is needed. I DON'T NEED ALGAE-CLEANING FISH! I NEED TO *MAKE* THIS FOR SCIENCE CLASS. Does anyone have any ideas? Please...

Thats okay. Thanks anyway. =)

Thanks. =) One last question- Should I also use Maracyn to prevent secondary infections?
