hae! :bounce: i wanted to know what those stars are(next to your name and pic when you post a blog) when i hold my mouse over them it says 0 (im really new here) how do i encrease my star 'rating' other peoples seem to vary from 0-5 also who is caryol(spelling) and why is she called the moderator?what does she do??? :-?

:bounce: hae! im new to this website and very interested in fish and turtles.any questions,comments or sugestions will be much apprecaited!!

i would love to see photos of your turtles,i really like them!do they have names,how many do you have??

i have a tank not a bowl.

My family and i have got a new tank.I really wanted to know a few things.firstly,do you have to leave the water in the tank for a week or so or can you put neons in straight away because the are good 'cycling fish' i know that they are good fish for starting but i haer they are sensitive to water drops,rises phd levels e.t.c.so i wan to know should i leave the tank for a wee while let it do its thing then put in some strong,hardy fish such as plattys,catfish or guppies that can handle water drops etc or should i put in some neons straight away although i am scared of putting in neons straight away because they are sensitive and i am a begginer.p.s my tank is 4 feet x60 cm. i just wanna know what to put in first and how long to wait. thanks!!!!!

i just wanted to know if your tank is not green but slimy (on the glass) is that good bacteira???if you dont have a filter that cleans up poos and leftover food how do you know what to clean and what to leave.Also do you think that i should clean all the pebbles since there is no filter to clean the yuck stuff up???? :-?

i have a filter that just blows air bubbles in the tank doesnt clean up all the yucky things .should i clean it?(its just a small thin,holow tube of plastic that gets very slimy after a month or two).we clean everything (water pebbles and filter plus slimy ornaments)because when you move the water round in a small whirrlpool motion poos and alge fly everywhere im guessing they sit in the bottom of the tank with the pebbles.should i still clean the whole tank???

we have a tank 16 cm high,30 cm roundZ(its a round little tank.We have 2 goldfish in it and a filtre.every month or so we put the fish in a bowl and clean the whole tank,water pebbles and ornaments.we use chlorine water to fill the tank up but put a few drops of this blue stuff that says it dissolves the chlorine.they have been living for 2 years with the same routine so must be doing something right.is there any thing that i should stop or start doing?any comments apprecaited!!!

yes i did water changes but put the fish in a bowl and washed the whole tank and pebbles with filterd water.

it is just a little white thing that sits at the bottom and dissolves and little bubbles rise to the surface because it is dissolving.it was a small round tank.do you mean an eating bowl because it was about 16 cm high and 60 width with about 2 cm of pebbles.i had a pirate ship ornament and no filter yet had oxygen weed.yes i only had 2 gold fish at a time except when i started of i had 3 but gave them away.any more ideas??? :-?

I have heard that neon tetras are the first thing to put into your tank once you have it up and running (to start your communtty) about They said i should put in 5-10 then wait a waeek or soo then add another 10 untill you have got about 20-30 then start adding different fish .i also heard from another person that you should put in plattys or catfish first if you are a begginner with a new tank(my tank is 1 mtre by 60 cm) because if you do something wrong in terms of water level drops or rises they are strong and can handle it unlike neon tetras with are very sensitive.Who should i listen to???

i agree with turning the lights and flash off.it should have nowhere to reflect but make shure you can still see the fish!!!

hiya you might already know me since i have written many blogs on this site.i just wanted to know last year i owned 2 goldfish.i fed them the right amount every day,i had one of those dissolving shells for oxygen.i got new oxygen weed every week or so that i placed a few strands carefully into the tank but every few months my gold fish would die.usually only one then id go get anopther one from the pet shop.i never managed to save any of them so i am now examining other options but if any one has any ideas of what could of happend then please let me know! p.s one time when my 1 fish was sick the pet shop gave me some salt in a bag to put in the tank,forgot why but it didint work. also i have a small round tank that i kept the fish in.any ideas very welcome,thanks again!!!

thanks for your help as you might of thought,i am not going to get all of them i just want to consider my options to see what really intrests me.i think some websites in particular have great,helpful information ie this one yet others just seem to go on and on and on.Will post up what i am deciding to get soon!

I wanted to know out of coursoity how do catfish really clean your tank :-? .any comments will be apprecaited!

hey! thinking about lizards,i have a 1 metere by 60 cm tank,what lizards/reptiles do you suggest.can you get water ones(ones that swim or live in water) what do you sugget?can iget more than one and is it hard to get them to breed.are babies high mantince or do the parents/parent look after it.also what type of envoriment is needed.also temprature??? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

if i have water up to a good depth with many rocks can i put a few catfish in the tank.if not ofr if yes y?

thanks so much! i will consider it very carefully now.i am also guessing that saltwater is not a good place to start for first time fish owners? :roll:

Hey on every thing else i was wondering if your tank is big enough are you able to mix small turtles and 3-5 frogs?? :-?

help!i am thinking of getting some small seahorses,are they high mantanice or will they settle down eaisly.Expensive?
