I recently adopted three goldfish from a good friend. Two fancy goldfish and one feeder goldfish (the three get along well and there is no bullying I am 100% sure). Their old tank (which looks like a 20-25 gallon) was very dirty and so I’m wondering if this is a long time effect from ammonia. I brought them home and acclimated them into a filtered and cycled tank until my friend drops off the other tank (they will be moved to a outdoor koi pond once they’re older). The feeder goldfish is swimming happily but the fancy goldfish have been sitting at the bottom. No noticeable outside problems they look healthy except for the fact they do not swim. They are upright so I am sure this is not swim bladder. They did eat, but not today. What do you think this is and what do you think I should do.

Tank size: The current one is pretty large but I am not positive how many gallons it is.
Heater/Chiller: Neither
Filtration/aeration: Both, not sure of exact type.
Food: Goldfish pellets and a few tropical fish flakes
Lighting: Their tank doesn’t have a lid and has about 2/3 shade and 1/3 natural and indoor lighting.

Thanks.
I know they get to large for a 20-25 gallon tank, once they are bigger they will be moved to a very large koi pond. I do have a ton of experience with fish, just not goldfish.
The koi pond is not even set up yet, I know how much room goldfish need. So let’s try to answer my question, please.
Thank you in advance.

Also, I keep and have kept many different types of fish. I very successfully kept seahorses.
Thanks for answering, ammonia and nitrate levels all fine! Could it be damage from the tank they were previously in?

Okay, so i have a five gallon tank. I used to raise tropical fish but they didn’t last long. My koi fish i just recently had died. and so did my other goldfish fantails. But i just got a brand new betta fish. its a male and i only got one because of the fighting. Though i did want a femal and a male just so my male wouldn’t be lonely. I name him charlie. well i fed him 3 pellets today. i think thats enough? and i just want him to live for at least a year, i need some tips and somethings i could do to the water to keep it healthy and clean. i do have water conditioner but i don’t know if i should use it or not. i just need some basic tips and advice really. because i want this fish to last a while because he’s cute. anyways he is small, do betta fish get any bigger? please give me fact answers. thanks.
okay so i am gonna get a new heater tomorrow because my old one isn’t warming the water that good. how much are the heaters? anyways i do have water conditioner. how much do i put in? do i have to use it daily?

In your Honest Opinion, How Many Pets Is Too Many? I think of Pets as Children. So when I’m out on my own, I don’t plan to get any, until I am Financially Stable & have enough to Pay for all of the Expenses along with my Own with Extra leftover.

I love Animals, all of them. I want to live in the Country & own like a Ranch or something. I wanna have like a Pond full of Koi/Gold Fish & Turtles. I also want My House to Have a Basement w/ a Section of it Dedicated to Reptiles & a Few Indoor Cages for a Few Parrots/Macaws & an Outdoor Aviary for them when the Weather Allows. I’ve also always wanted like 2 Horses for some reason, A Male & Female. That’s about it, I don’t really plan to have any Cats, Dogs or Rodents.

I might change my Mind later on, but I don’t think I will. I’ve had some, in fact I do right now. I currently have 7 Dogs, 2 Cats & 3 Hamsters. It’s just that losing a Pet Hurts, but for me losing a Mammalian Pet, mainly Dogs & Cats, it Hurts so much more. Anyway, back to the Question. How Many Pets Do You Think Is Too Many???
I do have the Time & Money to Take Care of Each & Every one of them. If I didn’t I wouldn’t have them. I have a Job, because my Parents say if I want Any Pets I have to Pay for them Myself. They are all Rescues. Anyway, IMO if you don’t have the Money, Resources, Love, Attention and Space to take Cate of Them & Yourself. Then it’s Too Many. Also, it’s Too Many if your House begins to Smell, you can’t see the Floor or Walk. At Least in My Opinion.
I love Stallions though, & I would Never Ever Breed an Animal. There are way too Many out there as it is. They would All be “Fixed”. ^_^

Well I am looking for some good romantic dramas to watch that have a GOOD and HAPPY ending. I love dramas that have a lot of romantic and dramatic moments (moments like when girl faints and guys rescue her are great). I have no problem with sad endings, but right now I’m searching for some dramas that have a happy and complete ending! I have watched some dramas that have such bad endings that it’s really disappointing. Please don’t recommend dramas that have endings like corner with love and love contract.
It can be either drama or movie has long as it is a romance.

I have watched:

Autumn’s Concerto (very good)
Romantic Princess (the ending could have been better, but still very good drama)
Mars (very good)
Koizora (didn’t particularly like the movie, loved the drama, but has a ending)
Devil Beside You (good)
Tegami (good)
Taiyou no uta (drama and movie are both very good, but with sad endings)
Innocent Love (very sweet)
14 sai no haha (not much of a romance, but still o good drama)
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi (i expected more from this drama… not much romance or dramatic moments… still it’s not totally bad)
Aki ito (not much romance)
Cat Street (no romance…)
Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu (the ending of this one, besides the fact that it is a sad ending, was actually kind of disturbing…)
Corner with love (what’s with the ending??)
Love contract (I was liking the drama, but then I literally had to go online to understand what that ending was about. I mean… it’s just bad!)
Tada, Kimi wo aishiteru (didn’t like it, weird and sad ending)

If you could add a description, or a link to a website were I can read it, it would be great!
Thank you beforehand to all that answer.

OK, so I’ve kept goldfish and koi for years now. I am experienced with indoor tanks and outdoor ponds. I decided to try a smaller tank inside my room. I got a small tank (10 gallons) and transferred some older filter media from an established tank into the new filter. I let this cycle for about a week then added some cheap fish (guppies). I was told the bacteria would develop faster with a fish-in cycle. I was also warned to be prepared to lose 1 or 2 fish. Its been a week and i only lost one fish. I took some water to the pet store and they tested it. They said that the water was fine! I then added more guppies (because i grew to like them). But half have died in the last 48 hours!! I introduced them to the tank with minimal stress. The other guppies seem extremely agitated and distressed at present. I freaked out and took more water to the pet store. They tested it and the ammonia levels were only slightly high (due to the dead fish). Whats wrong?
The other fish are acting abnormal with short bursts of frenzied movement (one even jumped out, luckily i was there to return it). Please someone help me, i thought i was doing everything right but its very hard to watch all of these animals die and not being able to do anything about it. They are yet to actually eat after 2-3 days. Im desperate here!

Also, ive been doing daily partial water changes to see if that helps.

If it helps, i have 2 shrimp in the tank and they were also new and are doing absolutely fine. Very healthy in fact.

My only theory is temperature…but is that enough to kill them and cause them to jump out?

I really appreciate any responses.
Well there was three in initially, this went down to two. Then i added four more for a total of 6. (the shrimp are tiny: barely 1/3 inch each, but seem healthy, wouldnt they be more fragile?)

Im currently on 3 fish: one beautiful black tailed male and two females.

I am your very sterotypical pisces and I hold the fact that i was born in the year of the dragon dear to heart. I loved dragons my whole life and a few years ago i found out i was actually born in the year of the dragon. now that the metamorphisus stage koi is out of the question for being so popular what options do i have now. i would like both of these aspects to be incorparated. please more than a few people answer my question.
What do you think of the chinese water dragon?

There is a snake that lives in or around my small pond, it is white with a thick green stripe. The head is white. The snake is maybe 2.5-3ft long. We have seen it in the peach trees near the pond. In fact today I was standing under the tree and it just fell on the floor right in front of me. The snake is not always in the pond it leaves often. There is a Koi that is in the pond as well, it does not seem concerned with the snake; there were about 10 frogs that lived in the pond as well and now there are about 2.

So any ideas about the snake, is it dangerous?
Oh yeah, i live in south texas, near San Antonio.

So we have a 60 Gallon fish tank that’s only had fish in it for a week (the fish we moved from the previous 46 gallon tank). We have 2 rainbow sharks, 2 albino rainbow sharks, 2 angel fish (they are rather small and I plan on getting more) and one goldfish that looks like a Koi (it’s about 5 inches long not including fins).
Then just 2 days ago, my brother-in-law surprised us by bringing over 2 new Black Molly’s from the local Petsmart. (we normally get our fish from a local shop that specializes and only sells aquariums and fish)
So, we thought it’d be ok to put the two Molly’s in there and just monitor how they act and how our other fish act as well.
Well it’s only been two days and the entire time they’ve been hanging out exclusively at the surface in the back corner.
Then this morning after waking up, I turned on the tank lights and inspected the fish and fed them. That’s when I noticed a VERY tiny black molly. It’s so cute and small, maybe a centimeter long. So I looked around and so far I’ve seen 4 of them, hiding in the plants and various spots around the tank.

But I’m super nervous about it because 6 out of the 9 fish we have are semi-aggressive and we’ve witnessed our angelfish attack a fish before (we separated the fish it attacked). And on top of the fact that these fish are in a 60 gallon tank, it would be very difficult trying to catch them.
How do Molly’s spawn? does it really only take 2 days for little babies to appear? And should I move the Molly’s and the babies into a smaller separate tank?
