Can fish choke to death? I have a small female betta (Dory) and sometimes the pellets are too big for her mouth. She got a pretty big one today and struggled to swallow it before kind of throwing it up. I'm gonna start crushing them before I give them too her but I'm still curioius about what...

she's so tiny she cant swim against the current from the filter. it kind of just pushes her around so i have it off for now. would it still work if i only turned it on for like a few hours every day?

instead of bringing donna with me to school, I bought another :-) don't know what i'll name her yet, she's really small and blue and silver. i'm keeping her in a 2.5 gal tank. she's the sweetest little thing. i've developed a bit of a fish hypochondria, i'm always convinced my fish are sick. i...

I went away to school and left my betta fish at home for my mom to take care of. A week later, I came home, and Dwight was REALLY sick. I think he had Dropsy, his scales were sticking out, belly swollen and protruding, laying on the bottom barely moving. I spazzed out and moved him into...

well it definitely isnt the barring thing....you can tell it is something that is like growing on the outside...and now it is on the tips of her fins too. i guess i'm gonna put her in a seperate bowl then go from there. She seems fine is as curious and energetic as normal.

Cats are the worst they get soooo pissed when you wake them up.

Ok I went to Petsmart and got anti-fungal stuff, it says on the back that fungus starts with isolated pale or white patches on the skin, which is what Donna has. So I got this stuff thats supposed to fix it, its kind of a cure-all type thing for fungus, cotton mouth disease, body slime, eye...
