Goldfish advice

[Coursair]

Regardless of what fish you have, you need a filter. If you decide on a Betta tank, make sure Filter has adjustable flow.

For a 10g I'd recommend an AquaClear
AquaClear 20 Power Filter - 110 V, ...p/B000260FVG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9aDkzbGF6WFP9

If money is tight, this one will work. I have an Aqueon that's been running about 8yrs now.
Aqueon 06080 QuietFlow 10 Power Fil...p/B000SP65N8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qcDkzb322K891

If any one is reading this in the future how can any advice be given if we don't know what your tank set up is size filters, ect. In other words what condition are your fish,or reptiles and amphibians living in!

It looks like a undergravel filter, it should have a airstone to power it the air flow rate looks way to slow. if the air flow rate is to slow there is nothing drawing water through the gravel. I personaly don't like undergravel filter. for goldfish they are useless.still don't know how many gallons that tank is IF you have to much gravel over the top of the filter it wount work any way.

Its definitely an improvement. I would lower the air line a few inches to maximize the lift (and increase flow).

Tank is too small, like you living a telephone booth!

10 gallon tank are plentiful and cheap, if you look around you can usually get them for free. But can buy for $15!

Oh dear...I've seen those kits. I don't think they hold even 1 gallon of water. I wouldn't put a betta in something that small, much less a goldfish.

I thought it was for a betta, definitely way too small for a goldfish!

Thought OP had decided to keep a Betta instead of goldfish.

Oh ok. Yeah, those tanks are very small. A lady I know has one she keeps a betta in, but she does water changes every other day. Still not much room. I like to give my betta's at least 3 gallons. They seem so much happier and healthier.

10 gallon tanks are so inexpensive and easy to find, like a mansion for a betta. Lol

I totally agree! They are everywhere and the AquaClear 30 filter is reasonably priced too.

It looks like a goldfish in that tank? I would definitely rehome the goldfish asap! Thats way to small for much of anything. I had that same tank and I kept a few snails and plants in it. If I remember correctly its around a gallon?
