The goldfish have ranged from 1" to 2" in body size. Most goldfish ever in tank at same time would be 3. Except for this one they all seemed to last about 3 months. And then there are the 5 white mountain minnows who have been in there almost a year now...they don't seem affected by whatever is...

This one was a calico fantail the others were orandas.

I've had a 30 gallon cube set up for Goldfish for about a year now. I've had several goldfish over the year and today one that I had for about 11 months perished. They all have died of the same symptoms: They start bottom sitting then perish. I believe the tank water tests pretty well. Here...

You got PM Carolyn

I'm interested if you'll ship. PM me with a price please. Also what are the dimensions of the tank? Carolyn

I'm interested in some live rock - I can't see any pics though? Could you email them to me at equinecpa at yahoo.com? Thanks Carolyn

I'm looking for a decent looking tank for a seahorse grow out tank, must be at least 15 gallons. I really like the ViaAqua tanks - anyone have one for sale, willing to ship to Texas? Carolyn

I have a planted tank with angelfish - are they big enough that an angel coulnd't eat them? Carolyn

I bought some Killis last month from here -http://www.geocities.com/killiesbyruth/EdsBook.html Not in NY but she ships. The fish were well packed and in great condition on arrival. I would highly recommend Ruth! Carolyn

Plants are OK - not really growing much but not dieing either. I did notice my anubias nana had a tatterred yellowish leaf. My rotala has a little bit of growth, same with my watersprite. But it still seems that the algae is the best thing growing. I would have expected my crypts to do...

Any suggestions at all? Carolyn

Ok, did some testing... Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates -12.5 ppm Phosphate -between 0-.5ppm (doesn't exactly match the .5) I thought these parameters would be just about ideal! Yet I can see the water slowly getting a little bit cloudy. The plants don't seem to be doing much growing (I know...

I have: Java Moss Anubias Nana Vals Amazon Sword Watersprite Rotala Moneywort I think that's about it. I still think the algae is trying to make a comeback. Anything I should do? I dosed very minimal micros the other day (5 ml) along with the 30% waterchange. Lights are on for 12 hours a...

I don't have C02 at present as I don't believe it does much good at this low a light level. I did a 30% water change this AM and dosed micros. I'll see how things progress. Carolyn

In the fall I posted about all sorts of problems I was having with a 30 Gallon Hex. I had too much light, not enough plants etc...you get the picture...tons of algae. I have changed things around. Last week my tank underwent a blackout, and I unveiled it on Thursday...and it was almost algae...
