Fish - July 2007

So my church threw a bible camp for the kids that go to our church and along the way at some point, They needed a home for 4 fresh water fish. My brother volunteered me into it while I was away at work. I came home to find them in my tank of six guppies. They tend to fight a little bit with eachother over food but they other wise leave eachother alone. They dont even bother my guppies. I have no idea what they are though. I went to the church and the lady that donated the fish was "unknown". These fish are grey with orange fins and orange stripes going down them. Please help...

I have a small video of the fish but it is particularily blurry...maybe you can make out what type of fish it is though :\

DETAILS: Okay, so I have 2 goldfish in a 30 gallon with an airstone. I put in a Pleco for cleaning purposes. I cycled the tank for 2 days before putting the goldfish and pleco, and used a water conditioner, dechlorinate, and bacteria started. I cleaned out 20 % of water after a week.

PROBLEM: So, I know that the goldfish excrete high amounts of ammonia. I am concerned because I noticed the pleco sucker fish swims rapidly to the top of the surface seemingly for a gulp of air then swims back down. I am afraid he doesn't have enough oxygen. Could this be the case? If so, how do I correct it? Should the Pleco not be in with the goldfish at all? Help!! thanks ;)

Hello,
I have a 40 gallon tank. I have 2 dragon fish (violet goby and another type of dragon), 1 african dwarf frog, 3 snails, a pleco, some ghost shrimp, and a small angel fish. I'm going to take the angel fish out once it gets bigger and put it in it's own tank. I don't want it eating my other fish! I was wondering, what freshwater tankmates can I put in my tank? I'd like some more bottom dwellers as well as a "main fish" Such as an angel fish but smaller, something interesting to look at. I'd also like to add an eel. Any other suggestions?
Also, do you know any other types of dragonfish? This other one I have likes to swim on the top rather than the bottom like the dragon goby. It has two little, short, tube-like things on its nose.

Sorry so long. Hope you can help!!! Thanks!

I just took a closer look at one of my aquariums.... and I noticed that there are lots of tiny little worm like things moving around in there. They are too small to take a picture of them.
It's a 5 gallon with a divider that houses 2 male Bettas and one snail. I have real plants in there and real rocks....
My question is, Is it normal to have those little boggers moving around in there?
If it's not normal, what can I do to get rid of them?
Thanks...

I've recently gotten Mollies for the first time and I am planning on adding them with my many female bettas. But since Bettas have a labyrinth gill and do not require a air filter, I do not have one for them. I'm unsure if mollies can also take air from the surface like bettas or do they need air filters.

I just put my long airstone in last night, i buried it under the rocks and the bubbles come right up from it, so the bubbles come right up to the top/ The reason why I'm saying this is before I put that it, the tank was ok, now I got up this morning and the water was a little cloudy. There arent any signs of algae or anything. So could this just be a sign of cycling. I'm not into chemicals. So many experts pn here say dont even worry about it. So I;'m just wondering if my tank is cycling possibley. I just set it up thursday, so suggestions would help. Thanks.
