A discoloration in the scales is usually a sign of bad water quality. Test your water. If you have not already, now is a good chance to get a water test kit or take a sample to your petstore, they will do that for you. This is what you should be reading Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate under 20ppm...

Its a matter of taste. If you already think goldfish are cute you should get them. I would bet a beta though. One thing... do not get a bowl for either. If you get a beta please get a tank that is at least 5gal. If you get a goldfish please get a larger tank. 20gal and above. They grow pretty...

No. your fish like warmer water temperatures while the goldfish colder temperatures. Not to mention that they would eat your other fish when they grow.

Automatic feeders for when you are on vacation. They dispense a set amount two to three times a day depending on the feeder. A timer can take care of your lights in the tank. The cost is relatively small compared to other pets. All you need is food. I think I spend about $10 every month. A...

We do not change the whole water out. 25% weekly followed by 30-40% monthly maintenance. I take no more than half our doing all this. If you are taking longer you might be doing something wrong. Careful.

There are chemicals you can buy at the pet store to calm the algae down and even get rid of it. Just ask your local pet store what they have in stock. To prevent this from happening 25-30% weekly water changes are a must with a 40-50% water change and maintenance once a month. Do not leave...

Be sure the glass, both inside and outside, is clean. Turn off the flash and use only tank lighting. If the object is close enough, use a macro setting. However, I've found the thickness of the glass tends to distort objects more with a Macro setting. If you're trying to get pictures of a fish...

I'm not sure about "high" oxygen levels, but fish need oxygen to live. I would not put hydrogen peroxide in a fish tank as it is primarily used to kill bacteria. In an aquariums case, beneficial bacteria. Even in low quantities I would not risk putting it in. Try adding air stones instead.
