Questions
Are you able to feed starfish these?
- We would suggest Sinking Carnivore Pellets as a better option

Are they good for freshwater snails? In particular, the freshwater mystery snail?
- Definately, but Mini Algae Wafers or smaller pieces would be preferred

What id the nest bottom feeder for my betta fish -
My fish floated to the bottom of the tank and won’t eat
My betta fish is not eating and we are noticing a change in he color. We feed her Aqueon Betta Food and she ate it for her first month but now she will put the food and either chew it up and spit out the food, or she will spit it out whole. We know that it takes two weeks for bettas to stave to death but we don’t know what is wrong. we removed the rocks from the bottom of the tank so she could eat the food off the floor of the tank if she got hungry. Below i’ll attach a before and after photo.
My Betta fish keeps spitting out its food. I feed it "XL color granules" mixed with "color flakes" its tank mate is a molly. I heard you can get bloodworms and soak them in garlic guard and they will eat it. Is this true? Thank you. -Cristina
My pet pike cichlid is not eating and is always staying in one corner of the tank. It is in a 20 gallon with 2 convict cichlids, 2 firemouth cichlids, 1 Oscar, and two plecos. My ammonia is 0, nitrate 0 and ph is 6.5. Water is a little tinted because of the driftwood.
My pond goldfish had swim bladder issues so has been inside for 6 weeks. He was pretty active and I brought in another to keep him company. Since Feb 1st, he is at the bottom, eating a bit especially when I drop it right in from of him. No external signs of any disease that I can seen. Nitrites are high as tank is cycling. I am adding Prime, aquarium salt (1 gram) and 30% water changes. Nitrite converting bacteria is establishing now. Any thought on what it could be and what to do? Thank you
My fancy goldfish has a huge belly, is sitting on the bottom of the tank and hasn't eaten in 3-4 days. What do I do?
Hello, as I have been observing my new baby oranda goldfish, two out of the four I have received four days ago spend MOST of their time at the bottom of the tank, all four babies live in a 37 gallon aquarium together. When it is mealtime, all four of them eat, then the two go back and sit at the bottom of the tank, I have checked the water multiple times in the last few days, and everything is great. The temperature is great, and everything is in order. I am not sure what to do, thank you.
Type of food they eat Type of water to use
Hello. Can I feed a figure 8 pufferfish live or dead meal worms? Or frozen thawed tilapia? Live feeder fish? Ghost shrimp? Thanks!
Hello, good afternoon! I was curious as to how to keep a healthy, happy pleco? I just received a baby albino pleco, we got algae wafers, as well as the other algae that grows in the tank, I have a couple questions, how do I tell I’m feeding him enough, how can I let him stay happy and healthy, how do I give him a great, long life, how do I tell when he is sleeping, and how ca I tell when he is sick, I’m not to familiar with pleco sicknesses and diseases. Thank you so much, I appreciate you!
