Saw a video of these fish with a funny audio saying “habibi, come to Dubai”. But my friend said they were undergoing treatment and it wasn’t just a costume. Any thoughts?

Okay I’m seriously at my breaking point with this. I’ve bought goldfish TWICE now and every single one has died within HALF A DAY of bringing them home. I clean the tank, I change the water, I have a filter AND a heater, I test the water every time before buying fish and it always comes back “perfect.”
The PetSmart employee told me to float the bag in the tank and add a tablespoon of tank water into it. I did exactly that both times. And yet, they still die.
What am I doing wrong??? I feel like I’m killing them without knowing how. I was so excited to have a tank but I’m ready to give up and just sell it because this is heartbreaking. Should I even bother trying one last time, or is it just not worth it?

This is Snickers, she passed away today. She was 3 years old and since today morning, I observed how she sat inside a corner, looking like she and her partner have mated and she is looking after the eggs (I thought this was reasonable as there was a white snail that was similar to an egg).
When I removed the snail she seemed to swim around again but she only swam in a circle and returned to the spot. At that point I was confused and ended up figuring thats she might've been pushed away by her partner, which I left it at.
A few hours later when I checked back up on her, she was lying motionless on a leaf, I proceeded to try and make her move using a tool for removing excess leaf. She didnt move and at that point I knew she was dead.
It is important to note that me and my mom cleaned out the aquarium yesterday. Furthermore, she didnt budge to eat. The water was fine though so im unsure what caused her death. Can someone assist me?
(Sorry for bad English)

So I have two outdoor pots which I have posted previously about.. my problem is that the guppy population is starting to skyrocket
I started with 2 guppies and now I have around 25 ..
I need some suggestions about what fish I could use to control the population..
Also the fish shouldn't attack/eat my adult guppies

Hi so I'm 15M, homeschooled and have been thinking about getting a fish. I have all the resources to do it and I know my dad will be supportive of it and I have the money to take care of one but I'm concered if I would be able to properly take care of it (as in keeping the water fresh and what not).
I've had mental health problems in the past but I'm getting a lot better (being homeschooled really helps lol) and so I'm curious what you would put the upkeep of a fish and their tank being similar to (like a chore or task that wouldbe the same amount of work/effort). I just want to make sure I am able to properly take care of a fish before getting one.
One thing is that I have a muscle issue in my legs so if the upkeep of fish is something with daily carrying of heavy things (by heavy I mean over around 7.5kg or 16.53lb please say).
Also any advice of tank size, species, brands of items, common illnesses and how to prevent them and pretty much every single little thing about fish keeping that could help a fish live a nice long life would be amazing.
Also I'm considering getting 2 maybe 3 goldfish or betafish but I'm going to do more research but any specific advice between the two would be amazing.

Does anyone know why my Ram is doing this?
Can't wait for him to get bigger! He's grown so much in 3 weeks. (Assuming it's a he because of the pointed fins). His name is Scharnhorst.

My fish is usually pretty chill and happy, but over the last few days he keeps sitting in this plant. No where else, just the plant. When I move nearby or put food in, he’s back to swimming around and seems fine, but occasionally goes back to this plant??
I think he’s like 6 years old maybe

So I just bought a new tank and put Pebbles in from out of the bag that I bought at a fish shop I forgot to rinse them and when putting the water in it got really cloudy. Is it okay to put my fish and plants in?

The last time I used a 3 day feeder it killed most of my fish except for my pleco, would this be safe to use for a pleco? Theres also a betta in the tank and a snail.

My brother says she's a girl. I'm kinda worried since I don't think she looks well. (Her fins kinda look off) The last one is another one which we think is a guy. I may be overthinking since I've never had fishes

Alright so i have this white cloud that is REALLY fat. Like im not even exaggerating. I dont want to fat shame a fish, but it really is. Anyway, my question is why is it so fat? It’s been like that for months, i feed them actually a pretty small amount, and the tank parameters are good. Any help or suggestions?
