Have had a pleco for about 2 years. 3 weeks ago, he stopped eating anything (no algae wafers, no zuccinni, no fish food) at all and is losing color and stomach is sinking in. Other fish are all fine. Water tested fine (took it to aquarium store) as well. What would suddenly cause this?

I have a 30 gallon Malawi cichlid tank and recently put crushed coral in my tank. The water is way too hard. I took some more of the coral out to see if it was that I had too much in the tank and it still continues to be about 350. Some pet stores say theres nothing I can do and others say they have something that will only temporarily solve the problem. I know that cichlids like hard water but I need to lower it just a bit.What should I do?

1.) I've read that tap water sometimes isn't good for fish. I have my betta fish in a bowl of tap water but I use betta conditioner drops that I drop in the water to "make it safe". Should I keep it in tap watter or use bottled water?

2.) I go away every other weekend and am not here to feed it. How bad would it be if my betta went from friday morning to a sunday night without getting fed?

3.) I bought the betta in a really small container and the person at the store said it would be fine to keep it in that. I thought that it was to small and wanted to roam around a little bit so I put it in a bigger fish bowl. (it's actually a vase that is shaped perfectly for a fish) but for the holidays I wanted to use the vase and maybe use it permanently, is it true the betta is supposed to be in small areas like the little container I got it in, or would it be better to have it have more space?
