FYI Tweedle Dee has healed nicely and seems happy. He's with Tweedle Dum and One-Eyed Jack (a good looking calico fantail, one eyed of course, who is an awkward swimmer) in a quiet tank. I'll have to upgrade the size of the tank here in a bit, but that's not a problem. He definitely now has...
Thanks, I do appreciate your help, I just have to rearrange the tanks. I have a lot of juveniles and I had tank progression planned. Oh we'll, plans are meant to be changed

Oh no, I don't keep any ornaments and the like in the tank. Ultra fine gravel and silk plants that it. I think it mat have been the lettuce clip, and I'll fix that

I'm in need of some feedback here. This morning I discovered that one of my moors, Tweedle Dee, had ruptured his eye. Needless to say I'm upset. He had some of the biggest eyes going. I have no idea what he could have hurt himself on as I am paranoid about keeping my tanks safe.

Another question on this vein if I may. What are good plant selections to use in a goldfish tank? I don't mind if they graze some, but I would like it it remain mostly "untouched". ( Note the quotes, nothing ever goes exactly to plan!)

Have you got a test kit yet? Strongly recommended. API's master kit is one of the best. Strips are inaccurate. And actually strips are more expensive in the long run. The master gives over 125+ tests for about $25; a vial of strips, good for 25 tests can cost about $17-20. Get the kit and go...
Thank you for the suggestion. What depth of sand would be appropriate? I'm worried too much would become a debris trap and lead to old tank syndrome.
I did see jlk's planted tanks with what appeared to a sand bottom. Was there a substrate under the sand for the plants? While I haven't gotten...
