Good luck.

I sometimes still have to fight the urge when I'm around smokers and
When I get really p!ssed... but other than that I don't think about it...

All new aquariums will cloud up at first. It's a mixture of the toxin ammonia caused by fish waste and beneficial bacterial blooms. It's part of the cycling process.
You can wait it out... this can...

Sounds like your tank is suffering the repercussions of the water getting off balance.

Thanks for any info!

In this case, it could possibly be fin rot or another illness.
Jungle brand fungus fizz tabs are a good choice of medication.
It's always best to treat in an aquarium instead of a bowl.

You can treat with medication.
First, please never flush a fish down a toilet bowl when it's alive, especially because you think it's suffering.
It's not going to die a fast painless death that...

HI!
You can pour the Cycle by Nutrafin in the water in the tank or the water in the filter.
Either way it's getting in the tank and you will start to notice a huge turn around in your tank.
Good...

Hi! Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the basic filter with bio sponges(different than the debris sponge you have) and bio wheels that shouldn't be cleaned.
Sounds like you've read up...

How is your fish doing?

Yes, an air pump and air stone will put oxygen in the water for your fish.

I'm aware of that. Then I asked you how many gallons your bowl was and you replied with :

Is it a bowl or an aquarium tank?

This just goes to show the poor understanding of compatible fish and proper tankmates for the different species.

A male Beta would attack any goldfish
Small enough to live with it and would attack all the ones with fancy flowing fins.
Although female Bettas are not as aggressive as the males, they are still...

A Beta will do just fine in a goldfish bowl.
As long as the temp in the house is comfy for you, the water will be comfy for the Betta. They do not require heaters.
I'm sorry to hear about your...

Clamped fins always means illness. Even if there are no visible signs there could be bacterial internal infections.
Treating with medication is a good idea.

I need some happy music and some happy songs.
Something upbeat... something to lift the spirits. Something that might bring a smile. Know of any? Thanks!

7.6 is a slightly alkaline Ph, which is perfect for your goldfish.
Make sure to use a water conditioner to remove chlorine and/or chloramine
From the tap water before adding it to the tank.
As for...

Good for you ex for standing up for what was right.
