Female crowntail betta?

Posted on February 7, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

Hi, I just got a female crowntail about 3 weeks ago, and the only thing she will eat are blanched peas, I know this is not good because they are carnivores. I give my bettas blanched peas once a week to prevent constipation (all my bettas love blanched peas), but it’s all she will eat. She spits the pellets out, I’ve even tried bloodworms and brine shrimp, she ignores them or spits them out, what should I do? I tried fasting her for 3 days and she still wants peas, I’m about to give up and just feed her peas, so she won’t be so skinny, please help or give me advise, thanks!

My oscar fish won’t close his mouth,. What do I do?

Posted on October 27, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

He hasn’t been able to close his mouth for almost two weeks and he is getting very skinny compared to my other one. I pulled him out of the water and tried to see if there was something stuck in his mouth and I am not able to find anything. I was physically able to push his mouth shut but it just comes back open. He desperately tries to eat, but he just can’t keep any of his food down. I am wondering if I can take him out of the water once or twice daily and feed him with a syringe or something? I hope not forever but until he gets control of his mouth again? I don’t know what else to do. I have tried flake food, pellets and brine shrimp but nothing seems to g down very well.

my female guppy just got really skinny, I don’t see any babies and her gills are a little red. Is she sick?

Posted on July 26, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I have had her for 10 days. She looked like she swallowed a pea. I was told she was pregnant. I don’t see any babies and now she is really skinny. I have fed brine shrimp to them. She wont eat and her gills look a little red. I am so worried can anyone help. She is in a tank with 2 platys 1 molly 1 gold fish a male guppy and a silverfin shark. If she did have babies would I have noticed? Or would the other fish eat them before I could see them?

help! My frog is emaciated?

Posted on March 27, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I have a juvenile ADF and he is so skinny. I can see the bones well in his legs, midsection, and head. I have been feeding the frogs brine shrimp and frog and tadpole bites. If I offer bloodworms to him will he likely eat it? I read that they arent that nutritious, only 6% protein so I didnt buy any.
