So, how many fish do you think could live comfortably in my 22 gallon tank? I got 6 in there so far but they are not very big fish. Any comments would be lovely. Thanks
Hmmm I dunno harley. I'm thinking that maybe you should just leave the 6 you've got in there, possibly get 1 or 2 more? Because they'll grow a bit, to a confortable size. I personally think less is more when it comes to fishies in a tank 
Are you planning to get any more decorations/gravel/plants etc for your tank? Not insinuating that it needs it, it looks nice as it is!

Yeah i was thinking of getting little crabs, or 1/2 fish.
Yeah may get some more decoration, i need to get the light for it fixed first, because i had the tank off my uncle, and the light did not work. So ill get that, then im gonna think about getting some cool fake coral looking stuff :D. I prefer tanks without the gravel for some reason

Ok, here are a few more shots from the little 3 gallon.
The only fish, a betta:
And some ghost shrimp that I picked up to help keep the tank tidy:
Also, I've found this little egg deposit in the tank, on the front glass. Any idea? I have since found two more blobs, one on a rock and one on the corner plant.

^^ Your betta is gorgeous! I love bettas
Those shrimp are really cool too! Good idea!
Hehe I read that as "half a fish"
The crabs sound like a cute idea, or even some shrimp like Cloudyhaze has? Very cool!
Now I want some fishies for my desk at work......

You should get one! And seems like you really like the Betas! And those are the ones you can just put right into a vase or tall glass and change their water every couple days, they need no filter!
I used to have betas on all my desks here at work.. all my empoyees had betas and got to take care of them. I used these really tall vases.... and bought this plant for the beta on top... actually it looked EXACTLY like this...
you should definitily get one for your desk! and then show us pictures because beta colors are so georgous!

Try to get more bubbles going, get an air pump and a bubble bar.. usually when you see them floating towards the top they need more oxygen, and the bubbles help with that. If you do that and it doesn't help, test your water, if you don't have a testing kit, bring a sample of your water to a local fish store, they will usually test it for you.
Also check out for the other fish doing it too. If most of them stay towards the top you definitly need to get a bubble machine.
EDIT: I see you have a bubble bar.... try getting a basket, put something around the edge to help it float.
Looks something like this:
Put your fish in there, and see if he gets any better.

awwwww Harley I'm sooo sorry to hear that
If you see on other fish that parts of their fins and tail are missing, it could be that the other fish are being agressive and nipping at the other fish. Watch and keep an eye out. The one that has no peices missing is the bully. This happens with my chiclids. When I put new fish in, the ones in the tank already are the 'bullies' and push around the new fish until they get used to them. Keep us updated %)
