I have two goldfish, a sucker fish, an electric blue lobster, and 2 small fiddler crabs in a 1.5 gallon tank. I also have a replica of Spongebobs house in the middle of the tank. My lobster barricades itself in the pineapple with rocks, the goldfish swim around and seem to be normal but don't eat much. One fiddler crab has lost both its claws and all but one leg. The other crab always crawls up the filter or heated and hangs out above water. Is there something wrong with my pets?
Answer
Yes, there is something very wrong with your pets- unfortunately none of them are receiving the care that they need.
1. A 1.5 gallon container is too small for any aquatic creature other than snails.
2. Goldfish should only be kept with other goldfish, and they require spacious, heavily filtered aquariums.
- They are coldwater fish and so should not be housed with tropical fish like algae eaters.
- A pair can require 30-75 gallons depending on variety. (Fancy vs common/comet).
3. Algae eaters very in size from 1.5 inches, all the way to 2 feet in length. Even the smallest has a 20 gallon minimum.
4. The electric blue lobster/crayfish will try to eat the fish, and requires a 30 gallon tank.
5. Fiddler crabs are semi-aquatic and require brackish water.
Return everything. Tank included because it is useless.

I bought a goldfish yesterday an put him in a 5 gallon tank with spongebob pineapple house an all he does is sit in the left hand corner of the tank. When he does swim it acts as its it is struggling to tread the water. What do I do??
Answer
I'd return the goldfish. Goldfish get massive and need 30-75+ gallons for a single fish. A betta (the tank must have a filter and heater) would be much happier in that tank than a goldfish.
