Not an expert, but they look like my fish that I think are maingano.

It might be a cross with something?? But I had 5 red zebras a few years back, and they looked and acted an awful lot like that yellow fish. I have a lot of yellow labs and they're quite different.

Could the yellow fish be a yellow-ish red zebra? It doesn't look like a yellow lab or a kenyi to me.

Floating plants!!

Another vote for Prazipro, in fact I just dosed my 50 gallon tank with it earlier today.

I do black more often than anything else. Black contact paper is an easy and inexpensive way to do it.

A long long time ago I paid $150. plus sales tax for a pair of zebra plecos.

Yes, but you still have a high amount of it, and your fish are continuously producing it. Edited to add: The goal is for the test to always show an ammonia level of 0.

Vortex diatom filters physically remove parasites like ich from the water. If you combine that with raised temperature to speed up the life cycle, it really really works and gets rid of the infestation before it can do much damage to the fish.

If you have a bad strain of ich that temperature won't kill, look into getting a Vortex diatom filter. I had to buy one last summer thanks to the local Petco and my horrible decision to bring home 3 fish from there.

I have a 50 gallon tank that I put 2 female guppies in a while back, and there are always hundreds of guppies in there now. They have floating plants so a lot of the young can survive. They don't get any special feeding at all. The larger fish in the tank get flake food once a day, and I'd guess...

I can definitely give advice on this, but the first thing I need to know is exactly what the level is in the tank, and what it is in the source water that you are using. I recently discovered a situation in one of my aquariums where 6 terra cotta pots were causing the GH to be very high in a...

Hmmm. I can't say for sure yes or no. I have a pair of german blue rams and have kept them with several other kinds of fish including rummynose tetras and discus, but not angelfish, gouramis, or loaches. I think it would be worth a try, but no guarantees of an issue-free tank. :)

It should be, but make sure that you have a good thermometer and check it often. My favorite thermometer so far is one made by american thermal instruments (sometimes called ATI) that mounts on the outside of the aquarium. Again, found it on Amazon. I plan to buy more of the same for my other...

Yes, I think that's better advice. I didn't realize how large they can get. Mine is only around 2 1/2" inches so far.

Amazon.com is probably the best place to buy it anyway since it will probably save you a lot of money vs. buying it at a pet store. API (Aquarium Pharmaceuticals) Freshwater Master Test Kit

Maybe around 20??? (I have one Acei and a couple dozen or so other African cichlids in a 100 gallon tank.)

Weekly is a good rule of thumb, but the more established your aquarium is, the more predictable your parameters will be.

Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, pH

What temperature do you plan on trying to keep them at?? As far as tank size (for just bala sharks, not even considering the goldfish), it was a mistake for me to put them in a 50 gallon tank. The last time I kept bala sharks, their 'starter tank' was a 6-ft. 120 gallon tank. I do think that...

I personally would not keep goldfish with any tropical fish that prefer warmer temperatures. What size is your tank? I currently have young bala sharks in a 50 gallon tank which is really too small for them already. But I do small water changes every day and clean filters often to try to make...
