Fish - March 2007

I have a 20 gallon normal(not long) tank with 1 small angel about an 1 1/2", a 1/2" uaru, 2 bolivian rams (one is 2 1/4" and the other is 2"), 2 swordtails (1 1/2" each) and a dojo loach about 4". Is this too crowded? PS- I know the Uaru and angel get larger. I got that covered for when they do.

My bolivian ram has some red on the part of the fin that is connected to the body. It looks almost like blood. I raised the temperature and I am ready to use whatever medication necessary. He just got it a few minutes ago. Please tell me what disease he has! Should I quarantine?

I have given my baby guppies the medication for ick, and my babies are laying on the bottom of my tank. They did have white spots on them. Is this normal?

It is heated and filtered. It is somewhat heavily planted and has "caves" for hiding.
Please answer with names and number of fish.

But i hate fish!
Shell fish, guppy, salmon, shrimp and crab and lobster,
flounder. I hate fish, but I think most of all I hate fresh fish, like trout. I hate fresh trout. My least-hated, favourite fish would be sole. That way you don't have to see the eyes. Sole has no eyes. What about you?

I have done several water changes in the last few day's we have gotten the ammonia down from3.0 down to 0.25 to 0.50, it seems with all the water changes and cleaning we cannot get it down past that. The ph is a little high 7.6 and 8.0 we have fancy goldfish, can anyone help, tried everything except chemicals, really don't want to do that unless we have no alternative.

My best friends family recently gave me a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium tank with everything i would need to get started. I have always wanted my own aquarium, but i have no clue what kind of fish to get. I want some that are either unusual looking or really pretty (not simple goldfish or anything), and i want multiple kinds of fish that will live great together. Any ideas or websites i could look at to learn more. I want to know what i'm doing before i go to the petstore to buy some. Any help!?

I have a couple of Oscars and a few of my friends have some carnivorous fish as well and we are tired of spending a ton of money each week buying feeders. Is there any way I could breed comets from my home in order to save a little money. Any information is appreciated.

I want to build a self-sustaining goldfish pond. I would like it to be about 10-14 feet around and a foot and a half deep. It can't be any deeper because of my younger siblings and cousins.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should go about doing it? What about brands you find work best in liners or other supplies? What should I stay away from?
What other things can I put in it? like snails or other fish. No koi, please.
What about algae/ammonia/nitrate ETC control?
Any idea on what it may cost?

Thanks!

This will be #'s 3 & 4. (I know... I'm obsessed with decorating my apartment with fish!) My first two are named Plato and Aristotle. I can't figure out if I should go with the greek theme and name the other two Sophoclese and Homer, or should I go with the European philosopher thing and name them something like Locke and Voltaire?
