Foul water,ammonia through the roof,and floating fish.

Nothing significant.... dream interpretation is very "broad".... probably that you like boneless broiled fish would be my guess. The subconscious lets a lot of things out while you sleep.... dreams are to cleanse it.So don't breed too much into an odd dream.

If your feeding schedule isn't more than the water quality maintenance (do you have to change water more often,or more volume,to keep nitrates in check?),then I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you are feeding portions that are being completely consumed by them,I wouldn't alter it until they...

"Eat them",as in eat the fry... or actually eat Guppies you already have in a 10g? 10g doesn't give much option for a "micro-piscivore".... but then again a male Betta will eat new born Guppy fry.So will Neolamprologus brevis (requires hard alkaline water) or Kribs. About the only 3 I'd...

Just read the ingredients .... most "prepared" marine foods contain the same basic ingredients as freshwater "prepared" foods.Anything as far as "saltwater sourced" proteins (squid,mussels,scallops,various fish) aren't going to hurt the guppies or shrimp.Just check for added trace minerals that...

By plexi,I'm assuming you mean acrylic... so you'd normally go 1/8" thicker on that size tank. My usual "tank calculator" http://www.garf.org/Tank/BuildTank.asp says you could use 3/8" glass on that size tank.It also gives you 4 different ways to build that tank and provides a "cut list" for...

If you can get them... Celestial Pearl Danios http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/news/images/20070228-celestail_danio.jpg are the best choice. Native to the Betta range,not extremely active,small adult size.Really wouldn't go more than 6. They are getting easier to find. The only other sane choices... this...

All fish other than true vegetarians are "predators" ... so anything in a tank at the pet shop that eats living prey would qualify there. 60g is about the minimum for your choices of either single Oscar or a pair of JD .... so the stocking issue isn't a concern (IMO),but the filtration is. When...

Actual TRUE Pictus catfish are best kept in at least three (they are loose shoaling fish,but very social) ... other than that the entire answer hinges on how big the tank is and which "huge 7 inch weird type of catfish." you have.

Maybe kill "two birds with one stone" ... get a Pupfish http://www.nwf.org/nationalwildlife/images/062003/pupfish.jpg .Just kidding (save the hate mail)! I know their endangered. Really a new fish would depend on tank size, what kind of fish you like,and what kind of conditions you will have...

Should have a strainer,but if still sucking fish to the strainer it's better to use a foam sponge slitted and placed over the strainer to diffuse the suction over a broader area. I use the foam blocks like used in AquaClear filters,make a slit in them and slide them over the intake strainer...

It's a figurative term ... they don't literally explode. Some catfish species will eat until their stomachs literally split. Species of fish that come from areas where meals are few and far between instinctively gorge when there is plenty available ... but in their natural environment "plenty"...

Misconceptions ... Goldfish AREN"T "coldwater" fish,they are "temperate" fish."Coldwater" is any fish that requires constant temperatures below 60F,"temperate" is any fish that goes through seasonal temperature changes. Not all fish sold as "tropical" fish have to have tropical temperatures...

Garlic is fine for freshwater fish ... it builds the immune system,aides digestion and has anti-parasitic properties.Also a good appetite enhancer for finicky fish. You just don't feed raw garlic to fish,or put it in the tank ... most fish won't touch it raw and it will really foul a tank and...

Kuhli get about 4"-5" max ... the only limiting thing may be that they are social in should be in groups of at least 3. 60L is almost 16g(US) ... so tank volume isn't an issue currently,but depending on the variety of Mollie can be 4"-6" as adults.If one of the smaller varieties it should be...

Break your question down by sections ... "I've had my water tested yesterday before I bought six small fishes".. Setting up an aquarium needs an understanding ot the nitrification cycle http://www.theoscarspot.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2091 . You can set an aquarium up for months but if you...

Blanched,not boiled ... that's simply dipping it in boiling water for about 5 seconds. I'd forget Iceberg lettuce it's mostly fluids itself and has little nutritional value. Go for Romaine lettuce or,preferably,baby spinach for leaf vegetables.

Easiest maintained is what you have time for ... Usually the best first fish for a beginner is the Betta because of smaller tank requirement and the ability to supplement air from the surrounding environment if water quality "slips". My recommendation is nothing less than a 5g tank,a heater and...

Any and all fish can survive (and thrive) without a filter ... but you are going to be doing a lot of water changes to maintain water quality. A filters main job is to breakdown and convert waste to less harmful elements or compounds .... you can do the same through extensive water changes...
