Help with my tank

Hi
This is Shyd i m new to the Aqua i have 2 tanks 1 of 10 gallons (Mollies + Platys and two big Panda Gold fish) the first question mollies always pinching the gold fish i dont know y? Second question is i dont have any meter of pH level not Nitrogen Tester no Alkline tester simple is there is no tester available only available tester is thermometer how do i check my water condition and how to change. My mollies are extra angry alway fighting with eachother and specially to goldfish how to take care of bully fish except giving them or changing them.

My second tank is 5 gallon in which i kept baby mollies and guppies fry. now i have added few guppies female but they are hard on them even killing them how to tackle them.

I will be very thankful for your help.

sounds to me you have to small of a tank for the fish you have .... go our spend the money on a 29 gallon tank and put some "hiding places ... if you crowd your tank your fish will become more aggressive MUCH more aggressive ... so look on craigslist.com for your city ...you can usally finnd a 30 gallon full set up for around $40 or $50 dolllars

Welcome to Fish Lore
I agree, unfortunately, your tank isn't big enough for the fish you have. This can lead to aggression and out of whack water parameters.

Can you order a test kit on line? If you can, go for the API Master kit. It's a liquid test kit. Try to avoid the strips, they're not accurate and more costly in the long run.
In the meantime, perhaps your fish store will test it for you?

Good luck!
