My fish won't eat - new food
Comments (2)Remove the uneaten food or it will rot and feed an algae bloom. Your fish don't need you to feed them, most of the time they will be fine on bugs and algae if your pond is established....See MoreMy fish won't eat it's food, any advice welcome!
Comments (2)Bottom night scavenger. If it is full of energy then it is eating. Do not overfeed out of worry and end up with polluted tank. Normally they eat the leftover crumbs of other fishes....See Morewhy won't my goldfish swim?
Comments (9)My goldfish (Cedric) hides at the bottom and looks upset when he is not happy about something, or is scared. They may still be adjusting to the trauma of being ejected onto a sidewalk to smother in their own water. Or maybe they just haven't gotten used to you yet. I had a chinese golden algae eater that got too big and territorial and was bullying my goldfish. I took the algae eater out, but the goldfish continued to lie at the bottom of the tank for another two or three days (maybe making sure the other fish was gone?) - only coming up to eat but then going right back down again. After that adjustment period, he started swimming more and more until he was the well adjusted (okay, not well adjusted since he is "Cedric the murderous goldfish") and happy fish I know. One other time he started acting funny and hiding in a back corner of the tank. We realized one of DD's electronic toys that flashes and blinks was on the desk next to the tank. He did not like it. Once we removed the toy, he was fine again....See MoreWhy won't my Apple-crisp crisp like my mother's used to.
Comments (27)The recipe called for room temperature butter. I should have questioned that. Now I have too many variables to do a single test. 1) Cold Butter 2) White sugar, but suggestions are that it doesn't make a difference. 3) No convection, my mother's stove did not have convection. Life is tough, how many Crisps do I have to make, and eat, in order to get it right? I will have to revise the recipe for two portions instead of eight. I remember, as a kid, that my mother purchased one of every chocolate cake box mix she could find and we certainly enjoyed the taste test.... I believe the winner was the Stop Rite store brand. As for location? I inherited the house and property on which I went through my childhood. My mother designed it, my father built it. How cool is that?...See Moregreenhouseguy13
