Thank you for the quick response, my problem is I'm a college student and don't have money lying around to buy a new tank set up. I was having bad luck with keeping fish alive for awhile so buying the goldfish was like a last attempt before i gave up. Probably wasn't the best idea but now I have...

I'm wanting to move my Ryukin goldfish (Bambi) out of my community tank, but I've grown pretty attached to the little bugger and I want to make sure she continues to be healthy and happy. Is a goldfish bowl really a humane way to keep a fish?

lol thank you, but it's not finS it's just his one little fin that's missing. I have only had him for a couple weeks and he looked this way from the very beginning, i'm assuming his fin was missing when i got him and it just took me awhile to notice. He seems to get along ok, he kind of swims...

I can try to get some, they move so fast it's hard to get a clear one. It looks to me like there's not even a trace of a fin there, almost like he never had one. But the poor guy looks pretty unhealthy, unfortunately at walmart they aren't exactly skilled at catching fish so I didn't really...

I saved a pair of bala from Wal Mart a couple weeks ago and I always knew one acted a little strange and I finally saw why. He's missing that little fin in the very front on the left side so he has to compensate by swimming like a goober. Will his poor little fin ever grow back? Thanks in...

any opinions or preferences? My "lfs" is about an hour away, along with a petco, and a local WalMart. Not too many options, especially when they're inbetween fish orders! My dad used to order salt water fish in the mail and it seemed to go just fine...is it worth it to wait for just the...

Sending Them back would basically be dooming them to a tragic end :( The dumb butts there actually killed one trying to catch it for me, I felt like such a horrible person :unsure: Anywho thanks for the advice, I'll see what I can do!

Lol dang it I was hoping i could get away with that :look: Does Wal-Mart take fish returns? I suppose I'll need to find that out because I don't know anyone who even has a fish tank. And my lfs isn't so local...just under an hour away. If you don't mind a silly question...what is so bad...

A couple days ago i bought a pair of bala's, each one about two inches long. I saved the poor things from Wal-Mart, where I normally wouldn't buy a fish but I felt the need to rescue them. :rolleyes: I've got them in a twenty gallon tank [yes I know it's reccommended that they live in a...

Although I'm most definately no fish expert, I experienced something very similar. I had brought home two female balloon molly and had them less than three days before one gave birth. I noticed the new mommy pecking at the other female and the next morning the picked on female had a reddish...

My sunset platy, whom i fondly call Goose, quite possibly just gave birth to the smallest fry EVER. It's so so teeny! Maybe because the only other fry i've ever seen was a balloon mollie's...but still, it's like less than half the size of a grain of rice. Mommy looks pretty distressed but she's...

i'm jealous, she's beautiful :)

yes it was cycled. i think i just had the unfortunate luck of picking the wrong fishies. or not enough, should i have gotten three mollies instead of two?

tell me about it! poor mommy put herself out of her misery though...so in the last three days i've lost the two original fish i bought and gained at least eleven, i just saw a couple more swimming around that she must have popped out before she died. now it's operation raise the babies!

you mean she's not done having babies :o oh my.
