Fish - July 2007

I have an unfiltered 5 gallon take for one female betta fish. I plan on getting perhaps two more female betta fish for my tank. Is that alright?? A woman at walmart told me that I need a filter. This other woman at Petco told me a filter isn't necessary.

My goldfish is one of several in a tank and until the last couple of days seemed happy. Now it is strangely pure white. It's behavior hasn't changed, but I am worried. nothing has changed with the other fish, either. Please help!

I have been changing water & adding chemicals & changing more water, but my pH & alkalinity are way too high & my water is VERY soft. I've done a complete tank change (all the water) tested the new water before adding it(it tested perfect by the way) but 48 hrs later those reading are off the chart again. Everything in my tank was bought at a pet store & is ok for freshwater. I've spent a small fortune on books & chemicals & nothing has helped. What am i doing wrong?

I am about to start a tropical aquarum and I am considering an open top tank design with a suspended light. Will this design of tank cause excessive evaporation or condensation in the room or am I better off going for a tank with a fitted lid ?

I just rebuilt my pond and lost all of my fish in the process. I'm going to drain the water and start over. What do i need to do to the water before i add fish so that i can avoid any mortatlities of my fish again. I am going to put comet goldfish in, and the pond is about 200 gallons to 250 gallons. What chemicals should i add, and how long should wait to put new fish in. And is there any special quarintine type thing i have to do with the fish before put them in the pond? Thanks

I came home to two dead fish (both Hora loaches), several plants uprooted and my sunken pirates ship floating at the top of the tank. The Loaches had been in the tank for almost 2 months with no problems (I have 1 Jordans Catfish, 1 Upside Down Catfish, and 1 Betta (male)). I have a 12 gal Marineland in the hood filter and live plants. I feed (Tropical flakes, Betta pellets, Catfish sinking pellets) 2 times a day and Bloodworms every other day. Both the Betta and the Catfish readily take food from my hands and they seem to pal around together (they also are terrified of the upside down fish). All three are doing great. What caused the Loaches death? I'm assume somebody killed them, due to the carnage. I want to add some schooling fish, any sugestions? My Betta is a marble, with long fins.
I'm working on getting a 55 or 120 gallon tank as I know my Jordans Catfish will get too large for my 12 gal (when I get that could I have 6 Angel Fish in with him)? Any suggestions for this tank?
