Does anyone else share this fear? What is it called? I love to swim, though not at night, and not when I cannot see the bottom of the pool, like no rivers or lakes. I love all animals, espcially water animals (turtles, tadpoles, etc.) so it is not that. I would literally cut off my arm (i think) before I could walk through one of those tunnels at Sea World. Maybe it is the fear of being surrounded by water? Don’t know..please help!

my sucking loach (scooter) jumped out of his tank some time when i was out of the house…which was for 5 or six hours….i then came home to seeing scooter on the floor five feet away from my 15 gallon tank. His gills were moving so i put him in the tank and moved him back and forth for a bit and he started pulsing and swiming around a bit….i then put him on the bottom of the tank with his gills still moving…first question- is it possible for him to survive? second question- is there anything else i can do to treat him and nurse him back to life?

My guppies sleeps at night by stop swimming and descent to the bottom. At night when i turn on my room light, they wake up and swims.

The fish was fine the night before. This afternoon, it was lying sideways on the bottom of the bowl. Its body was a whitish colour, especially around its head. I poked it, but it didn’t move. I’m pretty sure it was dead. It sure looked dead to me, but I was told by somebody that it was not dead. Instead, they told me that fish that ate too much or have some type of respiratory problem lie at the bottom of the bowl and turn white for about an hour or so but they are much alive, and they will turn back to normal within time. Is this true? Was my fish really alive when I flushed it down the toilet, or is this person just pulling my leg??

why is my goldfish sitting on the bottom of the tank? He has no superficial signs of illness.?
