  Oh, ok, by ‘acclimate’ I thought you meant something more complicated. Yes, I did float the bag in the new tank before putting the fish in, and I did not put any of the store water in the new tank. That said, could it still be a nitrate/ammonia spike? I figure I should invest in a test kit (I’m just assuming that this is similar to a PH test kit) anyway, but are there other things I should be considering, such as ick/ich? The sick fish, I should say, isn’t completely immobile or swimming upside down or anything, but it is visibly bloated and far more sedentary than the other and when it does venture out of its corner the other fish follows it around. This is what led me to consider pregnancy. I just want to make sure that I have all my bases covered and am treating the broadest range of things, because I’d hate to just become convinced that its one thing and it turn out to be another. @uberbatman Thank you so much for your help though, you’ve been great and I can tell you know what you’re talking about =]. I apologize for sounding frantic I just really don’t want these fish to get sick or die. If there’s anything else you’d recommend I’d really appreciate it. As far as the pet store people, I completely agree. I also have a 10 gallon tank with mixed species back home and taking care of it has taught me a lot. They made it sound so easy but I thought it’d be better if I invested in things like a PH test kit, for example. I’ve never had to worry about nitrates and ammonia though, so I didn’t think to take that into consideration with the mollies. Thanks again!

  A friend of mine is going to hire a hitman, how would you handle this situation?

  assuming your friend actually goes through with this ridiculous plan, you are now an accessory because you knew about it and didn’t act. so… i’d take that into consideration, if nothing else.

  I don’t know what my nitrate and ammonia readings are, nor did I take any special steps in acclimating them because the store I got them from made them seem very much like goldfish as far as care goes. I live in Florida and we do have harder water than most other parts of the country. To acclimate them I just set up the tank (got it to the right PH, etc) and let the filter run for a while, and then put them in. I got them about a week ago.

  Should the plan for healthcare reform have the public option or not, and why?

  I would agree that we need the public option so that people who would normally wait until they’re very sick to seek help (usually in the emergency room) can see a doctor sooner and thus even help lower the overall cost of healthcare (as a check-up is not as expensive as a visit to the emergency room). Politically speaking, I don’t know how many more votes a bill without a public option will gain than a bill with the public option. The real issue, I believe, requires a more holistic approach though. If Americans continue to be as unhealthy as we are now, government intervention will only help so much.

  What is a good laptop that i should get that is under $600?

  I love my Asus eee, it is small but if you can deal with a 9 or 10 inch screen, you can’t beat it.
