Ok. I was wondering if anyone on this thread knows anything about Baby trout or just trout? Because I just received a new pet. And it turned out to be a baby trout. I've put it in a tank with water flow and I have oxygenating tablets incase I need them and I've heard they eat fish flakes as babies and most bugs but is this right? And is there anything else I should know?

Thanks

Trout need cold water and lots of flow.

Yeah that's what I've read also I forgot to add that I have a giant pond in my garden and were putting a waterfall in with koi and a sturgeon and I was wondering if my current pet trout could live in the pond?

are you sure it is a trout? could you post a picture of it so we can verify before you put something else in your pond(not saying you don't know but it is better safe than sorry)

Yay, my 2 female guppies are preggers How long should it take for them to have their babies? I want to move them to a different tank so the other fish won't eat the fry.

Oh cool! Do you have any pictures?

I don't know anything about them.

I have a stuffed Rainbow Trout, but that's about it.



It's from a company called Cabin Critters, and they have different realistic stuffed animals, including a lot of freshwater and saltwater fish!

The "products" tab shows them all.

I got another one on Saturday from a garage sale that I knew was a Cabin Critters fish, and I found out that he's a Mahi Mahi.

It's totally not getting over grown right. XD
One of my ottos died on Tuesday... I don't really know what happened to him... Also one other otto was really pale around the time I found the little dead one(which had been dead for max. 4-6 hours), But he manage to pull through I think. He was little better yesterday morning, then on evening he was very pale again so I was worried he might not make it. But today he's been pretty much normal colored, acting generally normal and saw him eat too. I'm totally clueless what happened to him though...
I now do have 3 baby corries in my care(in a plastic box that floats in the main tank). 2 hatched yesterday and one is probably almost a week old now as it's from the previous spawn.

Well, on top of all of the other crap that's gone down this week, two of my fish died.
Blittz died at the beginning of the week. He was a Crowntail Betta that I got from a breeder in Thailand in February 2012. Idk why he died. It was about a day after the power went out which caused the filters to run dry, but we fixed it and the other fish were fine.
Then yesterday my favorite fish I had, Nala the Comet Goldfish, died. I got her from a crappy pet store as a tiny feeder fish and she grew to be the size of a small dog xD I got her in March 2012. I don't know what was wrong with her either, because she was perfectly fine just hours before we found her dead.

Guys, I've got a question. Is there a way you can tell a fish is pregnant? Because my sister has bought 3 pregnant bettas. The first 2 died, and this third one is most likely about to. So is there a way I can tell if a fish is pregnant or not so I can help her?

I don't think Bettas get pregnant....they spawn and lay eggs immediately after from my understanding. They are most likely just extremely overfed and that is why they are dying.

Figured I'd update you guys on the fish I currently have since I've gotten new ones and some have died.
In my 75 gallon (which I am aware is overcrowded, stocked it years ago before I knew) I have Jesse the Ribbontail Goldfish (had him since January 2012), Coda the Fantail Goldfish (had her since January 2012), Cyan the Shubunkin Goldfish (had her since January 2012), Blizzi (had her since April 2012), Jade (had her since April 2012), King the Black Moor Goldfish (had him since July 2012), Akame the Lionhead Goldfish (had him since August 2012), Cagney the Bristlenose Pleco (had him since February 2012), Zowie the Chocolate Albino Pleco (had him since April 2012), Noka the Black Khuli Loach (had him since April 2012), Carmel the Khuli Loach (had him since August 2012), Fudge the Khuli Loach (had him since August 2012), and my snail too Slender the Golden Rabbit Assassian Snail (had him since February 2013).
Then I have an empty 20 gallon. I might use it for a Leopard Gecko or two gerbils though.
Then in my 15 gallon end table tank I have Skye the Powder Blue Gourami (had her since July 2012).
Then in my other 15 gallon I have Caesar and Pirate the Glass Catfish (had them since June 2012).
Then in my 10 gallon I have my African Dwarf Frog, Ripple (had him since June 2012). I also have another 10 gallon with Boris, my Eastern Painted Turtle in it.
Then I have four 2.5 gallons with Bettas in them. I have Lunar the Half Moon Betta (had him since June 2012), Axel the Double Tail Betta (had him since December 2013), Rune the Crowntail Betta (had her since December 2013), and Ryuu the Half Moon Dragonscale Plakat Betta (had him since March 2014).
I also have four 2.5 gallons that don't currently have fish in them, but one doesn't have a filter.
My little sister has a poor Veil Tail Comb Tail mix Betta named Ice in a 1 gallon bowl -.-

Hello!!!

My fish story is a bit weird..

I use to have 20ish fish when I was younger and then one of those fish ate all of the other fish and then it kind of ate it self. I don't know what I did wrong

[scythe.]

How many gallons is your tank? : 20
How many fish and what types are they? : There are 5 fish total in that tank, a single female platy (her tankmates died, and I haven't got around to the fish store lately.) and four female Bettas.
How long has it been running? : About two years
Did you cycle it? : Yes, I did a no-fish cycle and then a cycle with a goldfish (who I later gave to my science teacher, he has a 30 gallon)
If possible what are the ammonia nitrite and nitrate levels? : Sorry I don't have any test papers...
What is the issue or question? : Well, Navy, my poor old girl, had been looking very ill for about a week. I've been using every med I have and bought some, but she's still not doing any better. She just looks generally... ill. She's lethargic and has been eating less than usual lately. She looks almost scrawny, he head seems bigger than the rest of her and her back seems crooked. When she swims it's in short bursts, like when she needs to breath, but the she hides under a rock until it's food time or she needs to breathe again. I can't see anything on the outside that would denote any illness other than ick (Which I am in the process of treating). Could it just be the ick or medicine, or something else...?
