Whe have a sucking catfish, who attacks the otehr goldfish in my tank?

The tank is 4 foot long, so it shouldn't be a size issue. Why is he doing this?

Our betta recently died, and we would like to get a new fish, or maybe a couple. We have a one gallon aquarium, and because our kids like watching the fish, we would like something more active than a betta. Any suggestions?

I am about to start my fishless cycle and I got some ammonium. It is clear ammonia with ammonia hydroxide and surfactant. What is surfactant? Is it okay to use this ammonia for the cycle, or will surfactant be harmful?

Alright, I was wondering, can I have fancy guppies with a male betta splendens (The betta most people are familiar with)? Or will there be fin nipping, harassment, ect.? And will the betta eat fry of my female guppies, or leave them alone? I'm a bit parnoid because my angelfish is a HUGE fattie that eats EVERYTHING. I have to keep 6 month old fry away because he will try and eat them (I saw him try).

I have a 2 gallon tank and thinking about getting a heater. I feel that I need to get her a friend only because her other female betta died..... but I'm hesitant of getting another female because my other betta has been alone since summer... I dont know how feisty she will be with another female betta tankmate. Will female guppies work?

Thanks for looking into my question. Can an anubias plant be attached to a pourous or holey rock such as lace rock like a java fern plant and grow successfully. My java ferns have flourished in my cichlid tank which are attached to the lace rock, but the root system on the anubius does not seem to have the soft root system like the jave fern, and i am wondering if they would be best suited in the substrate.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

My daughter had 2 walking fish, and she lost 1 and the other 1 got very sick. We thought we were going 2 lose it as well. The only thing we can think of, was when she topped up the tank and put liquid into the water to take out the chlorine. She also feeds them mealworms and bloodworms. Well, the mealworms had fungi growing on them from sitting in the bottom of the tank for awhile. Could this have caused it? A couple of days after she put the liquid in, the dark walking fish died. The white 1 was sick. We took it out and brought in some pond water from the front yard. Filled a small tank with water just enought to cover him. He seemed to get a lot better. We tried to put him back in the big fish tank again and he went lifeless again. We had to take him out again. Could somebody please help me.
Thank you.
Diane

my local petco does not have sand for fish tanks, would it be possible to use reptile sand for the fishtank instead, the reptile sand is usually a calcium substrate i believe.
