I have a 75 gallon freshwater aquarium. I am most likely putting in some sort of anglefish, carfish, maybe a african ciclid or a clown loach, and some really smaller sized fish so they can school.
I saw this patriotic crab the other day and it looked awesome.
Would the fish i named above work well with any freshwater crabs, shrimp, or lobster.

When i had my freshwater aquarium, i had success curing ich by increasing my water temp to 30 degrees Celsius. i have now changed to marine, and my clownfish has marine ich. my tank has no corals. just fish and shrimps.
MY question is will i be able to use the same method- i don’t really want to add any chemicals to my tank, and the readily available treatments contain some form of copper E.g malachite green which are toxic to invertebrates. or are there any more treatments that are “chemical free”?

i could get for my aquarium? i dont want to have to get the salt because all my other fish are freshwater.
and could you recommend a VERY SMALL fish to go with the shrimp?

I’m thinking about buying 3 dwarf puffers; 2 females and 1 male according to the gender limit. They’re freshwater fish, and I’m going to have them in a 5 gallon tank with fake plants and maybe 2 amano shrimps to eat/clean up leftover food and stuff on the bottom of the tank. I really need to know the fastest way to cycle a 5 gallon aquarium, and cheap too. (I’m an impatient person and I’d really like to experience my first time with raising fish during my spring break.) I really need someone to go over the process with me thoroughly, because the way people explain it over the internet makes it seem that they expect me to be a professional at it, so they use this little science words like PH 5.0 or something blah blah blah. Sorry if I seem like an idiot, but I’m a 100% first-timer at raising my own fish, so any extra beginners tips would be highly appreciated! 
Oh and btw, what should I put at the bottom of the tank? Gravel? Sand? Nothing?
I live in Canada, and it’s pretty difficult to find anything that’s normally slightly uncommon in the states, here. I need more fish stores.
Are there any websites that have directories of aquarium/fishkeeping stores in Canada? And I don’t just mean chains, either – in fact, I could really, really benefit from knowing a specialty shop – I’m looking for some freshwater shrimp right now.
Yeah, the Yellow Pages seems to be the only valid choice, and even then, the only store I saw was PJ’s Pet Express, which doesn’t seem very reputable.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please do suggest them.
