Hi Gary,
My name is James and I found your site while I was searching for "fish experts." I'm not sure if you can help me with my problem, but here it is. I am raising 6 comet fishes and one of them got bitten pretty badly at the gill area. It's still alive and fine, but there's this giant bite mark covering one of it's gill. Is there anyway I can close up the wound? If you know, please reply ASAP. I dont want the other fishes to try to bite at the wound.
Thank you,
James

Hi James,
Try Melafix from your local pet store, use as directed.
Good Luck,
Gary


Hi Gary,
Thanks a lot!

James
Did this work? When I got your first email I was on the run, but like I said Melafix is the best for bites, scrapes, or any open sore. It's good stuff.
Good Luck,
Gary


Hi Gary,
I have been treating my fish for ick and have apparently been dyeing my decor green... I was wondering if you could tell me what paint is safe for fish so I can repaint my ornaments.
Thanks Aphroditee

Paint that is fired at your local ceramic shop will work. They can tell you what kind, but time will usually fade the methylene blue out of the decor.
Good Luck,
Gary

Have you done regular water changes? What kind of food do you feed? Smells bad like: Wet dirt, moldy, some thing dead? Give me more info I will try to help.

I have a 250 gallon tank for almost 2 years. 2 days ago I notice that my fish were on top in a group. They all turned dark what can that be? Can you help? Whats wrong with them?

Have you tested for nitrates? That is what it sounds like to me. Is there a dead fish in your tank down in the decorations? If not that, where did the oxygen go?
Good Luck,
Gary
