on 7/29/2006 If you have fighting fish, do not put more than one in a tank (unless they are both female). When two males are in a bowl together they start to fight violently.

on 6/30/2006 Say you have a Japanese fighting fish and a goldfish, like we do, you probably already know not to put them in the same tank. Keep the tanks away from each other! The fighting fish will think it is food and smash into the bowl.

on 11/22/2005 Don't wait for the tank to look dirty. By the time it looks bad to us, the fish have been living in dangerous conditions for quite some time. Do regular partial water changes to keep water clean at all times. Test regularly for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrate to ensure the water doesn't just look clean, but that it is safe for the fish.

on 11/22/2005 Try feeding your fish 2-3 times daily, only as much as they can eat in about five minutes at a time. If you have a gold fish bowl, you should clean it every 4-5 days for healthier fish.

on 11/22/2005 1) All fish must be fed the proper food. You must not over-feed them, and only feed them twice a day (you may also give them a midnight snack).
2) Fish need light to live. You may give them artificial light from a light bulb or you may give them natural light (recommended). Turn off the light after 10-12 hours, to reduce chances of getting algae.
3) Change the filter cartridge monthly. Do run the filter without water.
4) Your fish need lots of sleep to stay healthy.
5) When the tank gets dirty, clean it.

on 11/22/2005 1) Goldfish need cold water, unlike tropicals. 2) The minimum tank size for one goldfish is 10 gallons, so make sure you have a large tank. 3) Don't have any sharp rocks or decor in a fancy goldfish's tank because they can rip fins.
