plants and sea monkeys?

So I trasnfered my seamokeys into a bigger tank, and now I would like to put a floating plant in there? Is that ok to do or will it kill them? You would think it would be ok cuz the plant would give them more oxygen, but if they die i will be mad cuz they are doing so good, I have sooooo many.

2 gallon fish bowl, 3 guppies?

at least 2 gallons of water (its about 10 liters), 3 tiny guppies, plants, filtration gravel, clean water, not fed too much, 1 cup of water changed everyday, lots of love, thinking of adding some fairy shrimp.

am i cruel?
people tell me im cruel for keeping a fish bowl?!
i’m paranoid now :( lady in shop said it was fine!
i think i have my measurements on the tank wrong. its a huge bowl, probs about 30cm’s radius then it bulbs out at the bottom.

if i knew it was cruel i wouldnt have done it!
i love fish and thats why i wanted to keep them, i thought pet shop lady could be trusted!

My Betta Fry. It’s 30 Babies!!?

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

How do i care for a baby common eel?

My brothers friend went to upstate n.y. and caught a baby common eel and brought it back here. he said he dosent want it anymore so i said i would take care of it. I dont know what to feed it or how i should set the tank up. I am going to try daphnia or brine shrimp and feed that to it tomorrow. I dont know what plants to put with it, or if it needs to hide, or if it even likes plants and all of that stuff.
