Fish - November 2006

I got a 10 gallon fish tank for my birthday. I put fresh cold well water in the tank, and in the water I put corect amount of stress coat ( which removes any minerals or chlorine that existed in the tank) ammo lock, stress zyme, "proper PH", and aquarium salt for freshwater fish to " improve gill function, add electrolytes, and reduce stress." I also have a filter that works and everything. I've had 10 goldfish, and almost all of them died. WHAT IS GOING ON? -please answer

I recently added my betta fish to my larger community fish tank. The betta seems to be chasing and nipping at all of the other fish. Is this normal? Or should I put him back in a tank by himself?

I have a 125 gallon saltwater tank - what is the guideline for how many fish can go into it? (i.e - freshwater tanks you try to keep it at 1 gallon of water per 1 inch of fish) Thank you.

I have 2 large angel fish at the moment and 1 gourami all around 4 years old, they live alone at the moment in a 4ft tank and I want to add some new fish.

What other fish would get along with the ones I already have?
I would like some bigger fish (no tetras etc) and if possible something a little more unusual or colourful.

My betta has fin rot. I've never dealt with a sick fish or a sudden death of one from poor care. My friend told me he probably got infected because I wasn't using aquarium salt, which I plan to start doing. This is virtually my first time taking care of a fish like him and I'm trying to do the best that I can! He's currently my only fish and my first ever tropical fish. I'm about to start treating him with Mardel Maracyn II and I've heard about hospital tanks?

Is it neccessary to move him to another tank to put him under quarentine or can I just leave him in his normal one? Also, what should I do to prep it? What should be in my Hospital Tank? Can I still use salt and feed him normally while treating him with meds? I don't have a filter which I didn't feel was neccessary because it's one little fish in a 1.5 gal tank. Should I get one? I change about half of his water every week and do a full water change every other week.

Thank you all in advance for the tips ^-^d

If the two types "grew up" together, do you think it would be okay? I have a gold gourami in a ten gallon right now and I'm moving him to a thirty gallon and I want some dwarf gouramis. My gold gourami has been living with my mollies and he's never been aggressive... can I put a dwarf gourami with my gold gourami?

I just found small white spots around the fins of my neon tetras, now looking "salty." I purchased Tetra Medica Contra White Spot Treatment. However, the bottle label didn't specify any instructions on how to use the medication. So...
1. How do I use it? How often in a day and how many times in a week?
2. Can I apply it to a community tank with other fish not affected (or seemingly not affected) with white spot disease? Is it safe for other fish?
3. Can I still use the corner filter while applying the medication?
4. Do I still feed my fish with flakes? Do I feed before or after medication?

My betta jumped out of the tank. Not sure how long, but she was pretty dried out when we found her. Put her back, she couldn't swim cos' the fins were all stuck together. Now, fins have opened up, but she has whitish fuzz coming off all over her body. What do I do?
