What are easy, small pets for beginners? Is a cowfish a good choice?

The Cowfish, or Longhorned Boxfish, is a marine species that should be kept only by experienced aquarists. When stressed, they can release toxins into the water which may harm tank mates. Pacman frogs, leopard geckos, corn snakes or bearded dragons are all easy to keep.

What fish and supplies are best for a beginner's small tank?

Without anything to use for scale, it is hard for me to tell how big your tank is, but in general it seems very small. Also, the water that is in the tank appears very cloudy right now, so that would be the first place to start. Water quality is very important, and will make or break your ability to house and care for fish. I would recommend getting a good filter system (you can visit a local pet store to assist you with brands in your area, as I am not familiar with what you can get in India). Be sure to bring the measurements (height, length, width) of your tank, or the gallons or liters so they can tell you what capacity of filter you will need. Everything else will depend on what types of fish you get - if you plan on getting multiple fish, they will need to be small - a general rule of thumb is one square inch of fish per gallon of water. Depending on the species you get, you may need to also get a bubbler to ensure there is enough oxygen in the water for them, and you will also

What fish are compatible with clownfish in a 36 gallon reef tank?

I would suggest either a Neon Goby, Yellowline Goby or Sharknose Goby (Elactinus spp.), Court Jester Goby (Koumansetta rainfordi) also make wonderful additions, A Small Basslet of the genus Liopropoma spp. or a Royal Gramma also should work well with your existing tankmates, and lastly another great group of fishes include Shrimp Goby of the genus Stonogobiops or Amblyeleotris. For shrimp goby, one bonded pair with their commensal snapping shrimp of the genus Alpheus makes a fascinating addition to smaller marine reef aquaria.

Just got a small fish. What breed is it and how do I care for it?

Thanks for reaching out about you fish. It is believed to be a Comet goldfish. Water quality and nutrition is the key to success. Testing water parameter for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate will give you guidance for a healthy environment. Purchased food should be rotated out every 3 months as vitamin C and other nutrients degrade over time. Trying to maintain water temperature can be challenging with out a heater, but most fresh water fish tolerate some changes. Good luck.

My fish has fin rot & a wound. Is quarantine & salt enough? Any subs?

Generally speaking you can follow these guidelines: - set up quarantine tank: make sure the tank is well oxygenation and has some plants for hiding; - add 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt per gallon; unfortunately it is very difficult to replicate the composition of aquarium salt back home so I would strongly suggest to buy a specific product. - add this product https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/4410/?pcatid=4410 as indicated; - leave your fish there and feed him regularly for 3-4 days until you don't see any improvement - If no results at all are seen after 4 days a check up would be needed as more specific tests may be needed to establish a specific diagnosis.
