I've done a few time out's on her, the longest being 48 hours, but she would always resort back to aggression. Currently, she still sits behind her little plant. When it comes to feeding time, she does swim around quite well. She'll also swim around a few times during the day no more than 20...

Fry grow so fast! Holy moly!

Since I'm still new in the hobby, I wasn't planning on getting a Vampire Tetra for a while. I would prefer at least getting a 150 gallon for it when the time comes. I specifically want a Hydrolycos Scomberoides, but I need to do a lot more research before getting it. And, thank you for informing...

We've also got two other 20 gal talls in the garage, but they're currently empty.

That they are not, The Goldfish are kept in a 20 long bare bottom tank. We're planning on putting our Red Oranda into a pond this upcoming summer since he's the largest. The Creamsicle is in her own 20 gal long, she's aggressive towards the others. But she seems to be enjoying her own tank. We...

RIP to one of the RCS :(

Uh oh.

I bought a Creamsicle Mollie from Petsmart, because she was beautiful. She was placed into a 20gal Hex Tank that was already cycled, and has a few Mollies and Gourami's. She began to show aggression towards the others, and began to damage them. We have another 20gal, but this time long that's...

Spoke with my LFS owner, who's been in the hobby for over 50 years. He said it's not likely that it's a parasite of any type. We had to move her, into the 20gal long because she was being highly aggressive. The tank was set up for about four days prior to her move, with filter pads from an...

How much do you feed, and how many times do you feed a day?

I prefer to keep my Goldfish tank bare bottom, it's a lot easier to maintain than a sand/gravel bottom. However that's not something you would encounter in their natural environment. Goldfish are essentially a small carp, they enjoy sifting through the sandy bottom for food. If I were to put...

Creamsicle is doing better, thank god!

I put her in an Epsom salt bath for 20 minutes, now she's swimming around again.

Ahh, the UK. Yeah, more than likely caddis fly larva instead of what I was originally stating. They eat decaying plant matter and algea :)

They will feed on snails, shrimp, small fish, and small crustaceans.
