I've been wanting to keep fancy goldfish for a really long time. After a couple of disasters in my classroom with them a few years ago I put it off, but I'm putting the tank together this weekend. It's a 40b, so I think I could comfortably have 2. I have spent quite a bit of time researching the best substrate, but there seems to be a 50/50 split on opinions. I want to do this right the first time, so any experienced goldfish keepers please chime in. I was considering a sand base, and then an arrangement of various sized stones. I do plan on having live plants.
Another question...I currently have 2 Eheim 2217's that I plan on running on this tank. These filters were recently on a tropical tank that has been established for several years. Will the nitrifying bacteria slowly convert and adjust to colder temps? I'm concerned about cycling this tank properly.
Any advice appreciated.
