A media change involves changing out the 'stuff'(media) inside your filter. Changing carbon, fine filter pads, cleaning sponges, and rinsing biological media are all examples of media change in an aquarium.

Tropical fish stay at the bottom of the tank when the water is changed.Its because fishes feel a change in water, like the temperature and pH value, due to which they get stressed, so they decide to remain in corner or at the bottom of the tank, until they feel they are comfortable.

What sort of tank should you use for tropical fish?

Use a tropical fish tank, preferably new. That way you know that it should not leak. Try to avoid using a tank that was used for something other than tropical fish. I prefer glass tanks over acrylic because they are less likely to mark or look dirty and they are easier to keep clean. Most aquarists will tell you to start off with a small tank and as you enjoy it more and more, you can opt a larger tank. When I started into tropical fish and as I bought larger tanks I used the smaller tank for breeding. Tropical fish tanks and supplies are available in most pet stores that sell tropical fish.

None, goldfish are cold water fish, so having a tropical fish as a tank-mate just wouldn't work because tropical fish need to live in warm water.
