What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?
It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.

How do you stop your fish from gasping for air?
If your fish are swimming up to the surface and gasping for air it a sure sign that there is not enough oxygen in the tank; another sign may be an increased flaring of the gills. You need to buy a filter for the tank (or if you already have one a stronger filter) in order to more efficiently replenish the oxygen supply. If the 'tank' is a small bowl, change the water more often. You don't take them out of the water.

Google aquarium cycling or the nitro cycle for more information. tom :)

How do you a tank?
when you clean a fish tank you should only do a 5 or 10% water change. You should wipe any algae off the glass, filter of objects in the tank using a new cloth as any soaps that get in the water will kill the fish. After this the water may be cloudy but the filter should clear this within a few hours. You should never do a 100% water change as this much change will overwhelm the fish and could kill them.
