I don't know if my koi fish has ick/ich or not. I been looking up what ick is and people tells me its like salt gains, white spots on my fish. I took some pictures and showed it to my local fish store and they said there isn't ick but I noticed my fish dives into the gravel on its side from time...
Upon purchasing a tank I spoke to a pet shop and they told me to fill the tank with water with heater and filter and leave it for 3 days then start adding fish? But I have read that people do fish less cycles for 6-8 weeks? Is it ok to start introducing fish after 3 days and what type fish?

Last week we wrote about how meat-heavy diets (ahem, Paleos) are probably causing a bacon shortage. Today, there's more bad news in the animal protein world: Apparently, scientists say fish are shrinking*because of climate change, and they'll be down to one quarter their of their size by 2050...
I have a male betta in a 10gal tank and I just recently put two mystery snails in. He's completely fine with them now, but during the first few hours, he was kind of mean to them. One of the things he did was he wrapped his body around the snail (in a complete circle; face touching tail) and did...
