Can African Dwarf Frogs live in the same tank as guppies, sword tails and that fish that attaches to the glass?
What size tank would be recommended?

AFD’s do best in a species only tank, fish tend to swipe the food before it gets to the frogs.

The fish that attaches to the glass is a Sucker Fish. Get a few and you will never have to clean the tank. Your Welcome.

P.S I have no clue about the frog.

I’m sure they can if they are all regular water fish and not salt which I’m pretty sure they are. Good Luck, they shed btw like snakes almost.

STORY OPTIONAL: This hasn’t happened to me in over a year, and it is the first time in my two year old 25gal. I just preformed a weekly water change and noticed three of my fish have white speckles on their skin. They ate yesterday however, so I believe I caught it early. I just brought home five Cory cats and though I tried to eliminate their water from getting into my community water, I did drop one bag in the tank water.

WHAT DO I DO?: I have a 25 gal with three sick fish and the others (12 others) seem fine. It looks like the picture here, but not as bad…yet!tropical-fishes-care2011

Its Ich or white spot Turn the temp up gradually to 86F over the next day if your fish will tolerate it and keep it there for 14 days
I just treated my clown loach for ICH and used the heat treatment only and its been 4 weeks now and the ICH has not come back.
Cory’s are salt sensitive so i wont recommend adding salt to combine with the heat
Do you have 15 fish in 25 gallons what fish do you have as that could be over stocking your tank.
I have added many fish with the shop water they came in and never had ICH in the 10 years of keeping fish .
Did your fish have Ich before you added the Cory’s?
My clown loach got Ich because i had to board them they caught it from an aquatic shops tanks i had no choice to board them as my 200 gallons seal went and did not have another 200 gallon tank lying around .
But once i got another tank and added the fish back and treated them with heat only the ICH has gone .

You gradually increase the heat and see how they get on my Tank had 16 Cory’s in i had to introduce them back in whilst i was treating the ich on my clownloach and they tolerated the heat for the 2 weeks .
But you need to watch the fish and see how they get on my Cory’s i have had 6 years so they are very hardy now but it depends ,on the Cory’s and the only way to know if they will tolerate the heat is to gradually introduce the heat and watch for any adverse reactions from the Cory’s
You also need to do daily water changes and add a good air stone as heat that high depletesthe oxygen levels in the tank.
My Clown loach were covered in Ich but they were still eating and swimming by turning the heat up that speeds the life cycle up of the Ich once Ich has gone you still need to treat for 14 days to make sure the Ich is completely killed off.

U need to put the 3 that have it in a seperate tank and do another water change to the main tank. If that doesn’t work u might have to get medacine for it,which they have at the pet store. Good luck and I hope I helped

I have a 10-litre fish bowl and I recently got home a young betta fish. I’ve read that I these fish like warm temperatures ( 23-27 deg C )…but the water in his bowl gets cold and most of the times is at 21-22 deg C. I tried finding a water-heater for bowls but I couldn’t find one anywhere. What other way can I keep my betta fish a bit more warmer??

First off don’t panic, if the water never goes below 21C your betta will probably survive OK. They are a tropical fish, and 21C counts as "tropical".

See I would never even consider keeping a betta without a heater, but in winter I could have tank temps down to 10C on a cold morning. That wont worry a goldfish, but it’s fatal for betta.

But they are happier in warmer water, up around 25C. They will be more active, healthier and hopefully live longer.

Small tanks and bowls are difficult to heat reliably. I would suggest you leave they fish where it is for now, it not in serious danger, and save up for a bigger aquarium that you can heat and filter properly.

Ian

If you are keeping a betta in a fish bowl and are not sure how to keep its water warm, here are some ideas
Get a heating pad, like those used for reptiles
Wrap the fishbowl with fairly thick towels, making sure not to cover up the opening.

3
Consider getting a larger tank. Anything 2.5 gallons or larger can be heated with an aquarium heater.

4
Aim for a temperature of 75-82 degrees F. Anything colder or warmer is bad for your betta’s health.

Use the towels all the time if your fish is really sensitive to cold

I have used the light that came with the tank as a heater which worked quite well. Try keeping the tank or bowl away from the window where temperature changes are more prevalent. Also, if you don’t have a filter for your fish bowl I would consider getting a new one with a filter and a heater if possible.

I have a fish tank that is approximately the same size that you have for your betta. I have successfully kept 3 different bettas in this tank, not at the same time of course! The first two lived for about 4 years each and my current one is two.

No fish can live in a bowl. Bettas need at least 20 litres worth of tank space, along with a filter and a heater. Without this equipment you will soon find yourself the owner of a dull, dying fish.

They sell betta tank sized heaters at Petco/Petsmart, and maybe even your local fish store.

Consider geting a larger tank. Bettas do best in 5+ gallons with a heater AND filter.

I have a new 30 gallon aquarium, and it has 70 gallons-worth of filters on it. 30 and 40 gallon filters. Would a tank with this much filter capacity be able to house more fish than a tank with just the regular amount of filter capacity?

To a certain extent…

There are a number of things that limit the number of fish you can keep in a tank. The ability of the filter to process ammonia is one of them. There is also the water changes needed to control nitrate, the amount of oxygen you can get into the water, and sometimes territory issues.

So you have to consider those things before you try and overstock a tank.

Also remember, if you have a filter failure or a power cut things are going to turn to custard MUCH faster if the tank is overstocked.

So it’s more a matter of, if you want to overstock you MUST increase the filtering, and several other factors as well. But you still increase the chances of the tank system crashing if anything goes wrong.

Ian

I wouldnt recommend it. Normal rule is an inch of fish per gallon of tank. If your housing really dirty fish like goldfish, oscars or pirahnas then you would definitely wanna double up if not triple on filtration. But just to clarify, by inch of fish, i mean the max inch the fish will reach. Just cuz the fish is small when you buy it, it may become a a 24" monster one day, so thats nothing you want in a small tank. Personally i always double up on filtration just to make sure my fish have the best water quality possible. Example, I have 4 2"angelfish in a 60 gallon tank but im running two biowheel filters who can turn the amount of water volume of the tank over 4 times an hour just because i know that just cause they’re small now, with the right space and water quality they’ll grow to be healthy fish. Hope that helps Oh and i also recommend using live plants in your tank, unless your housing fish who will just gobble them up, they help with oxygen production

Something some pple don’t know is some bacteria is good for fish, they live off it so if the tanks too clean they may die. Also ur only suppose to have one fish per gallon, so I’d say don’t put more than about 15-20 fish in there so they can have room to swim.
Good luck

Yes, sometimes. When you have a messy fish that doesn’t require a lot of space to keep healthy and stimulated, they can be housed in an appropriately sized/stocked tank given appropriate filtration.

not really, having good filtration is good up to a point, but water volume is important too. The more water, the less waste per gallon there is and the slower that water quality changes happen.

I would not overstock it anyway.

@Katherine 1 fish per gallon? That’s wrong. Never keep fishes that way.

Having double filtration is good but that does not mean you should over stock the tank you get fish that will fit in 30 gallons and do not over stock your tank.

I just got a 30 gallon. I’m really excited to start stocking it. I’m going to be starting with a school of Long Fin Danios, OR 2 female Black Mollies.
Only problem is that I won’t be home the last two weeks of this month. I’ll be staying down the street with my father…I would still be able to come home almost every day to feed and check on the fish, but that’s it. Would it be better that I wait until I’m home from my two-weeks stay there before I get my fish? Or would it be okay to get them now?
My tank is fully cycled, so that’s not an issue.

You will be able to feed them so I think you have nothing to worry about. It will be ok.

Your fish will be fine, even if you feed them only every other day.At some point, if you have an extra ten minutes, you might do a partial water change, but that’s about it.

Well if you’re able to go home every other day to feed them it would be fine. The fish will be okay without food for a day or two.

you could feed them two or three times a week and they’d be fine. Better than if you fed them every day.

get weekend fish food put 5 in and they will flush out food everyday

I have a 10gallon tank with a blue groumai in it . i was wonding whaT other fish i could put with it.. Id like to get other groumais gold one..(: please help me thank you.

I have a 100l with a blue gourami, platys, mollys, neon tetras, color skirt tetras. I once also had a pleco but he kept trying to suck on its sides

Pearl gouramis, dwarf gouramis, guppies, swordtails, mollies, platties, zebra danios, neon tetras,cardinal tetras, possibly a plecostomus (small).These are all pretty passive fish, rarely spiteful. You can’t put a lot of fish in a ten gallon tank, though.Adding some plants and places for the fish to take cover thwarts makes them feel less stressed, & helps prevent aggression. Small angelfish may be alright, but I’d avoid any other cichlids (like Oscars and Jack Dempseys) because they can start taking nips out of your other fish when they gain size and become territorial. Don’t get carried away with your first tank and over crowd the fish, it is an easy thing to do when you first get the aquarium bug!

In a 10gal, nothing.

Save for a bigger tank as the one fish you have now is going to outgrow that tank quite quickly.
fishloreprofile-bluegour

Note, max size is 6", 20gal tank as a minimum.

Another gourami is likely to fight, especially in such a small tank.

Ian

I am sure you can add a gold one to your tank without any problems.

if the tanks only 10 gallons i would just stick with the gouramis. If you wanna add more you need more gallons to work with

You can read this to identify the gender of your fish:
allaquariuminfo2012/01/h

Usually pet shops sell juvenile angelfish. It would take around 2 years for them to mature and breed.

The best way is to purchase around 6 or more and let them pair off when they mature. This is the most effective method rather than buying adult pairs which could cost you more.

Good luck!

Look at their teeth.

No, wait, that’s horses.

If they are full-grown, you really can’t tell how hold they are by looking at them. But angelfish live for a pretty long time (often 10 years or more).

There is a great deal written about how to sex angelfish, and none of the methods seem to be reliable. I once asked a full-time angelfish breeder how he does it, and he said, "When they spawn, the one that lays eggs is a female." Well, yes, but by that time, you’re past needing to figure out what sex they are.

If they are small, then they are probably less than a year old. By 2 years they should be well grown, 4-5" longs.

Only reliable way to sex them is to see who is laying the eggs. You will be able to pick out a pair once they bond, but you wont know for sure who is male or female until you actually see them breeding. They are sexually mature and able to breed at about 3" long, but can eventually reach about 6" long, and tall, plus fins.

Ian

if they r small so theyr 1or2 years n ifthey little small n little big then 3or4 years n if they r young then 5or6 years n then bigger then 20 16 18 19 29 10 31………………………………..

You need some form of filtering, and air pump alone wont do it. It may be possible to use a simple air-powered filter.

Reason is that Yabbies need oxygen and produce ammonia, like any other aquatic critter. An unfiltered tank becomes stagnant, low in oxygen, high in ammonia, and you critter die.

A filter of some sort lets you establish a nitrogen cycle to process that ammonia, and the water movement helps replenish the oxygen, so you can maintain a healthy aquarium.

Exactly what you keep doesn’t matter, fish, yabbies, frogs, snails… The principle is the same.

Ian

Anything that moves the water helps oxygenate it. So a filter does 2 jobs, adds oxygen and removes ammonia. An airstone only helps with oxygen, unless it connected to some sort of air powered filter device.

I have a black moor fish and a red Miranda fish.They are 11 years old and I found them both upside down on the bottom of the tank still breathing.What is going on?

Their dying man, it’s over. Say your goodbyes… sorry

That happened to me once. I took the fish out, put them in some new water and they were fine. I put it down to a chemical imbalance in the water and got a new P.H balancer.

My goldfish has grown alot more than i thought it would and it wont fit in my tea cup anymore i think its getting a bit sick because its head is poking out of the top and its always flopping around alot. He slept all day today but could anyone tell me what to do with him tomorrow when he’s awake?

Well, gold fish don’t stay tiny.. The common comet goldfish can get up to 12 inches long while most fantails get up to 8! Upgrade his tank and get an air pump if hes gasping for breath. He could be flopping around because the ammonia levels in his water could be burning his skin.
Goldfish are very dirty and need a partial water change every day.

Won’t fit it a tea cup ANYMORE? Which means you’ve done that before?

It’s a common mistake that people thinks that goldfish are only like 2 inch or 3 inch, while they’re not. They can grow to a maximum size of 1 foot or slightly more. And they need a 75 gallon aquarium when they’re that size. It will take less than a year for them to grow to 6 inch or more.

The tank is not clean, I don’t recommend getting it cleaned professionally. It is easier and cheaper to clean the tank using regular body soap. This will also mend and help heal the infection in your goldfish’ gill glands.

As of April 2008, the largest goldfish in the world was believed by the BBC to measure 19 inches (48 cm), and be living in the Netherlands.

They can get really big.

Slow day in Trollville?
