ABOUT MY RED EAR SLIDER ?

i have a red ear slider hes about 4 inches and ive had him for about a year ive been feeding him omega one freshwater flakes for tropical fish that the pet store said to feed him and he loves dried shrimp but im worried about his diet he doesnt want to eat the turtle sticks or pellets he doesnt eat vegetables or fruits i tried alot of things and it seems like the pellets and sticks are the healthiest thing to give him he isnt that big is that y hes not eating alot of the foods does any one have suggestions on feeding him healthy food
also he doesnt like to eat in a separate tank so i have to clean his tank out alot and sometimes i cant do it all the time and the water gets cloudy and his shell is kinda of yellow is this because of the cloudy water
it almost looks like he cant chew the pellets he puts them in his mouth and spits the back even after i break them up

Which breeds of fish can I combine into a freshwater tank?

I am a new aquarium hobbyist and after much debate, I’ve decided to go ahead and set up a freshwater tank (salt water tanks, although beautiful, seem like alot of work for someone new like me!). I guess I’m really looking for ideas and suggestions. I love goldfish and they seems pretty easy to maintain, but what other compatible fish can I add to my tank for variety? Also, do I need to purchase “cleaner” fish for a freshwater tank (like catfish or shrimp)?

Need advise ASAP with (freshwater) fish re: health problems, fish dying?

We had a male betta for months so when we got a large aquarium I bought alot of new fish (guppies, a female betta, ghost shrimps, little frogs, & a sucker fish — 28 total). Right away, after puting the fish together, some got body fungus and half died within 1 day. I treated the tank for 5 days for body fungus, gill disease, mouth & tail rot disease, and popeye disease… it was not the cheapest stuff. Within a day of body fungus clear-up my fish got gill disease. How? I have no idea since they showed no signs before and I used a combo treatment that covered it too. My tank has been continued on treatment now almost 10 days and still more fish dying (I have flushed 11 in days)! Right now it is still gill disease (red, swollen gills, listless fish, & trouble breathing). If I stop treatment just 1 day more die, if not then no change in health. What do I do? Water sample taken to petsmart said water o.k. & treatment should of worked. I have done as directed on treatment box.
As per directions on treatment I have changed water in tank every 4 days. Tank is very large, fish small size (average is 1″ or less).

Tank and acessories was precleaned with tap water. Water used was bottled and tap (50/50 as directed by pet store) and treated with conditioner. The fish were added 48 hours after tank setup.
fish originally were put into two small tanks then problems started when put all together.

Seperate question now, just noticed babies tonite in tank… guppies. Do I tank them out with the mom (still looks fat — maybe going to have more yet) or will she eat them? Or, do I remove them by themselves? Also, what do you feed babies?… special food or just crushed up regular fish food? I have had fish for years but never had babies (all my guppies have been girls, no boys).
