houstin we gotta problem

2 tanks 10g (76F) and a 30g (72f)

10 gallon (molly breeding tank)-
-6 mollies (2m4f)
-one male fancy guppy
-2 chinese algea eaters

30 gallon-
-one crayfish (4 inches)
-one small pleco
-9 feeder goldfish

-each aquarium has whisper filters, gravel, fake plants, heaters, thermometers, airstones, lines and pumps, and some decorations
-i also have a 2 in 1 breeder trap ( but i heard that mollies dont do well in small spaces. tell me info on breeding tips with them

problems-
-had 14 feeder goldfish but now i have 9 cuz the others died (there dropping like flies)
-2 of 3 guppies died now i only have the surviving guppy with the mollies
-crayfish wont eat the flakes, goldfish, or frozen krill,
- 2 goldfish are just sitting on the bottom breathing slowly
-one molly is doing the same as the 2 goldfish in the other tank
-need to learn sensitivity of the heaters
-cloudy water (might just be new fish syndrom)
(ive only had these tanks set with fish in em for 2-3 days)

besides all of the issues everything is cool (which isnt very much)

i have a 5 gallon, a nother 10 gallon and a 20 gallon long aquarium doing nothing.
in the 5 gallon i want to breed ghost shrimp and/or use the tank for the pregnant mollie to deliver her young (any suggestions or issues with that)
i dont no what to do with the second 10 or 20 gallon but am open for ideas
*********please help me with my issues im helpless********

one last thing-
i was wondering what freshwater fish would do well at max length in my 30 gallon and that eats the occasional feeder fish
(preferably some type of cichlid)
(the 30 gallon tank is 12"x1'6"x2'6")
if im very lucky i can get a 50 gallon tank from my friend who has a redbellied paca thats growin out of it.

well first of all you need to know something about the nitrogen cycle in your fish tanks

fish produse amonia(poo) wich is what is killing your fish.... over time you develop good bacteria that break that down in two steps to nitrate which is more tolerable

to make things a little more tolerable for you poor fishys start doing up to 50% water changes every day untill they start getting better as that will remove some of the harmfull stuff

and after a week or two we can discuss with you the next steps

but water changes are your fishys best friend right now

I agree with Snakeice, and the sooner the better.
You also need to chill and slow down a bit take your time and master each step.

I agree, start with one tank learn the ropes then work your way up to MTS.

Also, feeding goldfish is a bad idea. They're often diseased and full of infections. Not to mention they're fatty and un-nutritional, if you really have to feed "fish" to your pets then buy a package of frozen silversides.
