MY mom found these little things that looked like sea monkeys in our dogs water. She thinks they are polywogs but they look way to small. We are wondering how they got there. Could it be that there were eggs in our dogs food and some got into the water? WE took them out and im gonna get a little tank. What do I feed them?
Ok first, this isnt even the bowl the dog drinks out of very much, second, we do change the water and you dont have to be an a** about thins

I would appreciate any help or info from those who have bred betta fish. My babies are half sun; the mom is a beautiful red halfmoon and the dad is a green/blue/red crowntail. There are at least 30 babies. I’m first time breeder and I’m keeping all my babies or adopting them into good homes but I am not selling them to any pet stores. They are 6 weeks old (a month and a half) and I’m already starting to see some colors. My question is, at this point can I still see some dead babies? I’m only feeding them brine shrimps because the microworm isn’t available and when we tried “breeding” microworms for my babies to eat they were born dead, so, complete failure. I’ll be changing them to a 10 gal tank next week. They’re in a 5 gal tank with live plants since they were born. Another question, how can I distinguish between baby males and baby females? When do I start separating them? What age I mean?
Any input will be highly appreciated. Breeding bettas has been the most rewarding experience my husband and I have ever lived to tell, especially now that the colors can be seen and all of them look so healthy. 
Anyone has a story to share? Can you tell me about your mistakes in the process so we can all learn here? My cat already loves them, not as food but as kitty tv! !!!! lol

alright, this has been going on for a while and i need to know where my fish packs those pounds away! i have 3 fishes in a 50 gallon tank, we have plants n rocks n large shells and some fixtures that should serve as cover. well on Sunday my mom bought about 5 dozen guppies avg 2.5cm in length and probably 5 dozen brine shrimp also avg 2 cm in length. today is monday… and i cant find ANY guppies or shrimp!
heres what i got in the tank
a tiger oscar whose about 10 inches in length, had her for several years ever since she was little ^^
some unknown fish who manged to survive not being eaten by my oscar.. its around 4-5 inches in length and circle shaped with black stripes going down a silver body
and a recently added red tilapia who has added by my dad who came home from a fishing trip.. my dad threw it in and it sank to the bottom. he told me to lift it up holding it about 2 inches from the surface of the water to help it regain it self. and, well its scared but alive.
kinda ran out room but ya.. how can 3 fish, mostly just 2 because i doubt the tilapia ate anything being so scared, but ya… my fishes seem to never hunt during the day, because during the day food can swim right in front of her mouth and she does nothing.. but once night hits and i wake up the next morning half the tank is missing! lmao. so how can they eat 120 pieces of food within about 2 days and not be sluggish or tired looking or fat looking at all? either they have an insanely high metabolism or theres something else living in that tank…that foods supposed to last a at least a week or 2.. and with them eating a week+ worth of food in 2 days! WTH?! lol
authorization required for that site :/
i googled mono fish it and no its not that, this circular fish is more like a blue gill.. it has about 5 black stripes running down its plain grey/silver body. if the sun hits its side while no lights are on in the house it has a purpleish gleam
ahhhh one more question, we also had a 4inch Royal Catfish (black spotted lots of big fins), hoped it would help keep the tank clean.. along with some peach colored sucker fish.. and i think my fish ate those to o.O but the weird thing is waking up and not find any part of the fish left?! youd think if it was a big ol 4inch cat fish with lots of fins and also pretty fast you’d find some carcase left somewhere.. but there absolutely no trace at all ><
nope its not a tiger barb..
ya ive checked everywhere to see if they were hiding some where.. all i found was 1 lonely shrimp hanging out by the side of a rock..
its not really that many rocks n shells, we have 1 flat rock, 1 big shell, 2 plants.. 2 are floating, a small rock castle made of large-ish funky shaped rocks stacked on top of each other, and anchor looking thing, and a tunnel type thing. searched everyone.. and only that 1 shrimp was found.. and small shells are the place to. the bottom is all small rocks.. but still!!! how can they eat that much food in such a short period of time and not look any different?!

We bought this sea monkey kit where you can raise and grow a sea monkey family. Well, a lot of them are multiplying right now [if you know what I mean] and my mom and I were thinking of setting them free.
Problem is, I live in Nevada, and we only have a lake here, not an ocean.
Would the lake be nessacary for them? Or would they not survive?
We live 5-10 hours away from the ocean.
And I want them to be happy too…

i recently got a brine shrimp hatchery 2 weeks ago for my JD fry, which died cause the daddy went haywire and killed the mom n then the babies.. (they spawned 7 times before idk what got into him…) anyways, the brine shrimp are still alive.. i got the kit where you stick them in a 2 liter bottle and attach it to this base where you put the bubbler tube at the bottom and all.. i read u can feed them yeast.. so i gave them a pinch of it, and will do every week until the algae starts to grow.. butttt.. i want to move them into a ‘gold fish’ bowl. i know gold fish cannot possibly live in one, but i seen it in walmart, bought it for the BS, and was wondering if i could put them in there.. and not put bubbles in it? or do they need full on bubbles? i know they need heat, and my house is real warm, especially in my room where all my fish are.. their tanks are a constant 75 F. but yeah could they live in a goldie bowl with no bubbles? or what could i do? info on BS would help alot!
sorry about typing an entire book hahah.
