Hi, my 5 months old Alexandria created an whistle sound and immediately I stared talking to him he try to mimic hello. And sometime he mumble too. So, I just want to know, is it a initial stage of talking or normal behavior?

I would assume yes, to be on the safe side. Are you trying to breed them?
kye turnbull - 2013-03-24

I'm Emmanuel, I have 3 siamese fighting fish. One that is blue red and black, I called him Swish because his colors are sorta smooth and mixed. I have a pink one, my mum called it sweetness but I call it sweet. I have a purple and white one called Rage because he fought with sweet 7 hours straight. He was tired the next morning lol. Swish is ready to breed, his bubble nest is huge. I'm purchasing a female soon so he can breed.

Hi, I just got another male Betta and I would like to know what kind of feeder fish I can give him to eat that he won't just end up TRYING to eat? He has managed to kill, but, unsuccessfully swallow, 2 feeder guppies in one evening. Btw, he is not full grown yet. Has another inch to go, I would say, so, maybe later on he will be able to swallow them. How 'bout for now, though?

Gut fed Ghost shrimp should work
kye turnbull - 2013-03-25
fighters don't eat other fish! sometimes they will kill but that is for breeding! i recommend a small type of shrimp, or a small water bug, although do not get bugs from a river! that's ended up bad for me, good luck with the fighters! my fighters are breeding right now!

The best way to help with fin regrowth, is to keep the water clean and warm. Temperature should be around 78-82.

How fast will the fins grow back? My betta hasn't yet lost any fins but it is clear and black tipped on his tail. When will color come back?
kye turnbull - 2013-03-25
probably get a treatment from the pet shop, it worked for me!

Hi, I have just purchased a betta, and I think they're amazing fish. Their bright colors are absolutely beautiful! The tank is quite small, but I think he is coping well. His new name is Moshi-moshi! How can you tell if your fish is sick or not, and can its body language indicate whether or not it is happy?

omg that name is so perfect! its a Asian like name, and they come from Asia! if he is on the bottom 24 seven and has dull color then he is probably ill, although if he is up and going when you come near the tank and colorful then he is probably fine!

Dustin - 2010-12-05
I have had a betta for about 2 years it's a bluish-red mix and about a month ago it was floating to the top of the tank but when I went to see if it was dead it started to swim to the side, so I asked my mom and she said it was probably dying, but the next day it was fine. I was wanting to know if there is an explanation for this?

If your tank is properly heated and filtered then your beta should be just fine.
Me - 2011-01-22
If the problem persists it could be his swim bladder, your local aquatic store should sell something for it. Apparently it's like the fish version of having trapped wind!
Nikki - 2011-01-23
This could be because your tank water is too cold, this once happened to me I thought my fish was dead went to flush him and all of a sudden he was alive in the bowl... crazy but weird.

My betta does this all the time. He will sit on the bottom of his tank, lay down on his side or he will float up to the top on his side. I think he is just bored. I've been debating on getting him a friend. I thought about getting another little tank w/ a male betta in it and then pushing them together. That way they can "talk trash" but not actually hurt each other. Would that just be cruel?
Reece Ultimatefishkeeper Thomas - 2011-09-21
It wouldn't be cruel. It could be quite helpful for him because it makes him stay in shape to out do the other male in colour, size and aggression.
Melissa - 2011-10-23
Mine was doing the same thing. He was the same age too. I think I was feeding him too much and that the filter needed changing. Make sure the filter is right for the fish tank. ( unfortunately I found out too late and he died.)
kye turnbull - 2013-03-25
he should be fine, although if it keeps happening then look farther into it!

Hi, I am gonna get a pair of cocktail chicks. Is It necessary to get a pair or single is good. AlreadyI I have 5 months old Alexandria. Can I use the same cage for my cocktails or they should be separated. Will cocktail and Alexandria fight?

Cockatiels can be kept singly, in pairs, or in groups. Generally a separate cage is best for different bird species, unless the enclosure is very large such as an outdoor aviary. But because both birds are young, they may get along okay. Keep an eye on them if you put them together.

I am interested in buying a baby Red-Tailed Catfish. BABY, as in, under 5 inches. I live in Metairie, Louisiana. I would like to know if you are willing to ship it to me.

My Moore is blind in 1 eye. I don't know how this happened. It is all red with blood and his same side gill is bent over and open at all times. He is about 1 year old. Can they live with 1 eye and a damaged gill? I think he brushed up against a small water heater I have in the tank but I didn't see him do it. The tank gets super cold so I have a 3 gal tank heater by the filter. I turn it off when the tank gets about 70.

If he is eating and swimming fine and his wounds and eye appear to be healing, he will probably be fine. You could put some antibiotics in the water to help reduce the chance of infection.
jennie - 2013-03-24
Thanks and he is swimming and the eye is healing good. Thanks for your help. He eating good I got some stuff from petco to keep infections down but he seems to be doing good thanks again and may god bless your fish also.
