How can I save my angels?? 2 tanks same situation?

By on Thursday, June 24th, 2010 | 7 Comments

I need help figuring out what is wrong with my angels. In a new 10 gallon tank that had 2 5” plecos a giant danio and tiger barb I returned all those fish and got 3 1/2 inch angels. Now one of them is swimming around erratically on its side, the other two appear fine. I checked the ammonia this morning and it was zero. After I saw he wasn’t doing well I checked again and it was at ~.15. Is that enough to kill him?

Now I have 2 angels same size in an established 120 gallon tank and one of those is now showing same simptoms. There are many fish in there all look healthy and all water perameters are good. These two tanks have not been in contact with each other in any way.

Please help me.

want to buy fish tank 50 gal but i want to get rats.

Pros for fish tank: bigger for my pleco and flower horn.
Con: cost $150. i only will get $100-200 to spend, need to buy filter still, harder to clean.

Pros for buying rats: can actually play with them, cheaper cage and all
cons: fish will have to live in small tank yet it’s too big. it’s half the lentgh of m 25 gallon tank.

more info: it’s a sailfin pleco can get up to 2 ft. i have a baby horn which also gets big in time.

i dont know what to do i want rats so badly but i dont want leave my fish like how it is i feel bad. My mum wont let me buy a big fish tank she knows nothing about fish and think a 50 gallon tank is waste of money for 1 fish. i dont want to check in craigslist because i dont drive at all my mom wont let me drive her car because i dont have a permit yet i know how to drive. and people are lazy to bring it over to my house. Any suggestions? no selling it to the fish store they dont take good care of their pets they gave me a friggen did cray fish yesterday -.-”

this mexican girl that speaks no english has worked at our family restaurant for a year until she quit recently in may. i speak some spanish but we mostly communicate through text message with translations from yahoo answers. a month after she quit i asked her to go out and we went out 3 times. i took her to the mall, bowling, aquarium. i kissed her on the third time we went out. one week later i took her to play tennis and we didnt go out for a month. we didn’t communicate very much either after we kissed. then i asked her out to go shopping and said yes. i bought her a few things because she is poor and after i dropped her off she kissed me, (she made the move) i told her that i cared about her but i dont know what to do now. she is extremely pretty and has guys hitting on her non-stop. she is 23 and good good catholic girl. she is very very nice. i dont know if she likes me or she kissed me because i bought her some clothes. what to do?

By on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 | 7 Comments

i had 2 baby red eared sliders (2-2.5 inch long) and i just put em in a pretty big plastic tub with an ordinary 60W bulb and used to feed them dried worms ( sold in aquarium shops) and peeletswhich i later learnt constitute only 20% of the diet.the always used to feel hungry and 20 days after i bought them, they shut their eyes (bulged a bit too) and sum1 told me to mix ampicillin in water which i did n dat led to da death of one of em. no reptile bulbs are available in my country. the other slightly opened its eyes(just a bit) today but doesnt eat anything. what the hell should i do?
