There is a step on the seamonkey instructions to make sure they have oxygen. Should I do this? The instructions say to dump the whole tank into another container. Then Pour them back. However, mine is seamonkeys on mars. It has little Oxygen wholes at the top. The Problem is water leaks out the wholes and gets all over and I lost 1 seamonkey and dont wanna loose anymore. They are stil little baby sea monkeys. Has anybody’s seamonkeys died from not doing this? THANKS!

My little brother brought home a couple of fiddler crabs from school (his teacher says it teaches responsibility to have pets, so she has given them frogs in the past – now they’re all dead – and now crabs). I thought I could save these from certain doom, so I requested he bring me a crab back. They didn’t have food for the first weekend, and my little brother said his teacher would give food out on Monday. Turns out, his teacher didn’t have food, and, probably, never said anything like that. So we went to a pet supplies shop and bought some freeze-dried brine shrimp. The crabs seemed to like this very much. After a while, my little brother got bored with the crabs and gave his crab to me. So my mission is almost complete. The only problem is, he took a rather small container for the crabs, and I read that the crabs need an area about 3-4 times bigger than the container they’re in. All they have is a pool – I fill it with distilled water – of drinking water. And this gets dirty. Really fast. I also read that they need a saltwater pool. Can someone please give me a list of things I need to buy, and the things I need to put in the area (such as a saltwater pool, with the measurements of salt)?

My two huskies got into the fish food a while ago- fish granules and freeze dried brine shrimp- yum! They ate the entire large container of fish food and small container of freeze dried brine shrimp.
Will they be okay?
They are acting fine, but will they get sick?
Thank you!!!
I have a female platy named Isabel. I diagnosed her with Wasting Disease about three weeks ago. I’ve seperated her into a container in the tank that uses seperate water so she doesn’t infect the other fish. Every night I tip the container water out and fill it back up with clean water from the tank.
What I’m worried about is that she hasn’t eaten for three – maybe more – weeks. I knew fish could survive up to two weeks without food, but this is over three weeks! She looks emaciated and will spit out the baby brine shrimp I try to force-feed her with an eyedropper. Why is she still alive?
I finally found some Fish Wormer today so I’m putting that in tomorrow after I’ve changed the tank water.
What I want to know is:
1) Why is my platy still alive?
2) How did she get it? I haven’t added new fish for months!
3) Is the medication okay to give to the whole tank? Will it kill my tetras and kuhli loaches or do I need half-dosage?
Thanks. =)
On the container it doesn’t actually say to give half-dosage to tetras, fry and scaleless fish. It just says it may affect snails and corydoras species. But are corydorases scaleless fish? My kuhlis are, so won’t they be affected, too?
