Thanks :)

I have an "empty" 5 gallon tank. I took the ADFs out in December. At that time it had wiggly worn thingies in there due to my over-feeding the frogs. I had to go out of town and didn't empty the water out .... I still hasn't emptied the water out. (Insert excuses about busy life here). I...

I have a sponge filter in there - can that be salvaged?

In late November I noticed these wiggly worm things in my ADF tank. I posted here and someone identified them (don't remember the name) as essentially aquatic earth worms due to over feeding in my tank. I reduced the amount of food I fed my ADFs and in mid December, I took the frogs out, turned...

He does look good, huh? :D I took those pics the day I got him back - it's been almost a week now and his colors have gone back to being primarily blue - so maybe the transfer just stressed him out a little (when I went to pick him up, he was already in a jar and the tank empty so I could drive...

Back from vacation. Someone took care of Jack while I was gone for about a month. His fins seem longer ... But his color has changed a bit - normal change or stress paling him?

Attibone has a photo journal about his betta sorority in the betta splenden section of the forum ... Called betta cottage or something similar. If you haven't already read it, I think it would be good since it goes through his setup and stuff as well as problems he has encountered.

I think that both goldfish have the same type of tail fins - two fins that are the shape of butterfly wings. The mostly gray one "Calico" has fins that open up more than "Patches" though. Hadn't heard about netting a pond - I'll suggest that. If I put the fish in the tank right away - would I...

Her grandmother has a pond but stopped putting fish in cause the birds would get them. I was thinking of getting a 10 or 20 gallon and either convincing her to return the goldfish and get better suited fish or keep the goldfish till they get bigger and then put them in the pond. They'd stay in...

It's south Florida - house stays in the mid 70s with a/c running constantly :p Here are fish in a clean tank. I can't find a way to take a picture if them without the bowl distorting them. Oh, and niece say they are calicos

My last shrimp (had 4 at one time in there) was eaten on Monday. I think the ADFs got them when they molted :( regardless of what the care sheet says, not keeping those two animals together again.

What could she keep happily in a 10 gallon? (I'll post a pic of the fish in the cleaned bowl soon.

He lives with parents and they've kept assorted animals including fish, frogs, and turtles - so he should be good. Besides I left detailed instructions :)

Yes - said goldfish especially pro use a lot ... And all the flakes she dumped in there didn't help either :p

I realize this is a tropical fish forum, but I'm pretty sure you guys can help me with goldfish basics. I just arrived at my sister's house and saw that her 10 yr old has two little goldfish in a goldfish bowl - no filtration and murky water. I asked about changing the water and sis said they...
