Goldfish are coldwater fish. Goldfish grow up to 12 inches. So do balas. Balas are also schooling, and need a group of at least 6. 6 balas alone will need a 150+ gallon tank. Since Im gonna assume you dont have a tank anywhere near that... No.

Picture? Some catfish will eat tankmates in a heartbeat. While some get along just fine. And the description you gave could match quite a few catfish...

Probably ammonia burns. How often do you change the water? And how large is your tank? Those are probably the two problems right there.

Id recommend floating cichlid pellets. Id imagine floating carnivore pellets would be good also. Small mealworms or waxworms on occasion would probably be a good treat also.

When fish are outside, they tend to find their own stuff to eat. Like that mosquito larvae, they were probably eating that along with what you were feeding them. They probably ate too much. Or there was chlorine in the water. Feed them once a day, or even better, every other day. And honestly...

If you are taking care of a friends fish, Id say leave it alone and in that tank. Unless you absolutely know what you are doing, your friend will come back to a dead fish. Also, if you can only see it from the top, you cant really see if anythings wrong. When you can see his sides, you get a...

It all depends. Ask what their age requirement is there. A local one near me hires only 18+, while another one will hire at 16.

Well why dont you put them back in a tank, and take a picture from the side. Im going to call them some type of tetra, but its really hard froma top view where all you see is a line. Sunburst platy maybe. Theres a reason why people tell you to research before you buy. That way you can actually...

A female betta in a bowl. Ok. But what about the fact that they are tropical species? There isnt room for a heater in that bowl. Thats why 2.5 gallons is minimum recommended for a betta, because thats about the smallest heater thats made. I stand by all fish need filters to clean their water...

Dried foods arent good for them. They contain alot of fat. Oscars and arowanas should be on a pellet diet. The others, Im not so sure on.

Threadfins? Most rainbowfish grow too large to have a school in a 29 gallon.

Red tailed sharks grow to about 5-6 inches and can get mean and territorial. 30 gallons would be needed for them. More if you wanted tankmates. Pictus catfish max around 8 inches I believe, and need about 55-75 gallons. Also, once they get around 4-5 inches, theyll eat your neons. Tetras are...

First, bettas shouldnt be kept in bowls. Breeding bettas requires research so you know what to do. Basically, youll need a larger tank, with a divider. Male on one side, female on the other. Feed them bloodworms and other live/frozen foods for two weeks or so. When the female has vertical...

Definitely more tetras. They are schooling fish. The more the merrier.
