My grand kids and I were walking the rails and saw some men salmon fishing.One had a plastic bag of fish eggs.He made no secret of it and answered the kids questions.He told them that when he catches the salmon if someone wants the "meat" of the fish he gives that to that person and he keeps the eggs.He said if no one ants the "meat" he releases the fish.I don't know if he told us the truth or not.The reason I am asking is that on our walk we saw quite a few fish carcasses that had been completely cleaned out and the head and the outer "skin" was thrown back in the creek.I'm from Ontario, Canada if that makes a difference.

This question inspired by Brandon. He only caught small ones today.

The net was down to the water, the fish hit the net on the stick, I want to buy a machine to weave fishing nets that have sold in that

If I leave the replacement water out for 24 hours before changing the water in the Betta's bowl, is it still necessary to add water conditioner (detoxifies chlorine, ammonia, etc)? I know that at least the replacement water will be room temp, but I'm wondering if letting the water sit for 24 hours will cause any chlorine to evaporate. Also, can you add water conditioner to the bowl when the Betta fish is in it?

How do you transfer a Betta fish from the bowl/tank to a temporary container while changing the water? I've read conflicting advice. Is it better to use a fish net to transfer the Betta to a temporary container or is it preferrable to scoop the Betta & some water out of its tank with a small container?

Thanks for any help.

i have a 5 gallon fish tank and i have a one bio filter and i have 2 baby angel fish, 1 baby gold fish and 5 small fishes..

Choice 1: You do not know if you'll get anything. But, if anything hits, it will be a real monster. Chances of getting skunked = Very high.

Choice 2: You will get regular sized fish left and right. But, there won't be any impressive sized fish. Chance of getting skunked = Next to never.

You only get one choice. Please explain why. :)

i have four goldfish 2 eight inch 1 six inch and 1 four inch in a 55gallon tank can i even add more? very messy and active mostly worried about aggressiveness towards other fish. looking for a fish that fits the bill with clean up help. looking for factual answers not opinions. opinions leave us back at square one. thanks for all your help and time.

recently bought a nice 8 foot combo i would like to use in the surf (hopefully i have enough w/40 series Okuma)but would also like to find a heavier set up . but i dont know whats where or when been here 1-1/2 yrs now

Been a day only

I poured a bag of frozen peas into my fish tank and my fish got all better again. The problem is, they won't seem to eat fish food anymore, they only want to eat peas!!! What do I do?

5 Gallon Tank:
- 1 Betta
- 1 Apple Snail
I recently bought 2 bottles of Aqueon Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner & Dechlorinator for my 5 gallon tank. Does this work on all fish? or just specifically betta?

Im also planning on getting New fish for my betta. I was thinking Neon Tetras or platies. Any advice?
