I promise this is the last aquarium question today! ; – ) I have set up a 20 gallon river tank ecosystem. ( With several of you guys helping!) If you’ve not seen one before, they consist of a 20 gallon tank with a large backdrop built in. The backdrop contains ledges, plants, pools, and waterfalls. This is my question. I added three dwarf African frogs to the tank. They will obviously be able to climb on the backdrop area. There is a 1/8 to 1/4 in gap where the aquarium hood meets the tank due to cords. Is this a large enough gap for the frogs to escape – or do these aquatic frogs even do that sort of thing? I know that fire bellied toads are escape artists from terrariums but am not sure about these frogs. Any ideas?

Question by 46 answers: I am worried about my fish!!!?
I thought i had the perfect fish tank until now! I just realised that the fish which I thought was an oto may be a chinese algae eater. I read that these fish will get agressive and kill your other fish. In my tank which is ten gallons i have guppies platies and tetras. I now remember the person at the fish tank store i bought it said ” this is an algae eater” (but didn’t specify). How can i tell the difference between the 2? (mine is about 2.5 inches). Is there anything i can do to protect my fish?
I’m not sure what it is. I am leaning towards chinese algae eater. will the store accapt it if i return it? (btw i dont know how to post a picture)

A lot of people believe that even though some animals live a distressed life of captivity in zoos, zoos serve a greater purpose towards wildlife by educating the public. But in my observation, pretty much every single person has visited a zoo and almost none of them exit with any information about the animals they saw or with a desire to help preserve the environment. They stop for a minute or so at each exhibit, then leave thoroughly entertained. I feel like the zoo only promotes the idea that animals are on Earth for our use and amusement. It seems that most people who truly end up doing work for the welfare of wildlife are the ones who read books about them and watch documentaries and get down on the ground to observe ants. Of course, all this applies to aquariums as well. So you tell me: how has the zoo/aquarium affected your knowledge and attitude about wildlife?

First one is rather vague. If you can answer it you are genius…
I need help remembering a kind of fish. They sort of look like large sissortail rasboras. They come from Asia, and they are about 30 dollars each when young. About 94 dollars each when full sized. (No local breeders, they need to be imported). It was like, “Something, something shark” or “Shark something”…
Next question:
Any suggestions for a 75 gallon tank? I already know I am going to put my pleco (max size: a foot) turquoise rainbow fish and a couple other kinds of rainbow fish, and also the fish named above. I don’t want “common” fish, I want beautiful fish. Price is not much of an issue, I plan to slowly stock the tank.
Third question:
Can archer fish be kept in a 40 gallon aquarium?
Thanks!

I have recently found out by accident that one of my friends has lied about her sick dad dying (let’s call her Lexi). She’s had a rough childhood and didn’t have a good relationship with her dad, but in the whole duration of our friendship I can safely say that she’s not someone who lies and deliberately fishes for sympathy. This leaves me extremely puzzled and also concerned that more people might learn about this and ultimately embarrass her. Do any of you know someone who’s done the same? I am going to confront her about it obviously but I’d also appreciate some input thanks.

First of all I saw my dead grandparents in my dream. The led me to this fish, that seemed like it was gasping for air. I saw it and i gave it medicine to try to help it. What does this dream mean?

I DON’T GET IT! This is very frustrating…i spent $33 on food, a 1.5 gallon tank, and water conditioner for one Betta fish…the guy at the fish store told me you can keep it in a small little cup like bowl it will still be fine with nothing else, JUST like they did in the store, yet mine died after 2 days.
note: I bought them healthy and the tank was clean on my side……whats going on??? I am reading now that a filter and heater is mandatory….:( help
