I've had this tank set up for over a year now and no issues except for crazy nitrate cycle when it was first set up. I usually leave the tank light on longer than I probably should which is why I have green algae on the sides of the tank which doesn't bother me much since it's just cosmetic...
Do you know of a reliable website or book I can refer to if I have any other questions about goldfish or plecos?
One that would have atleast page dedicated to the care of them etc

I looked up the temperature range for plecos and got a few different answers but I don't remember seeing such a high temp. My tank is at 70 degrees F and I thought the pleco would've been okay. Argh fish keeping can be so complicated.
I'm glad I didn't try a saltwater tank

I knew about the possibility of the pleco sucking on my fish but he's been keeping to himself. He loves his sinking pellets

I don't plan on adding anything until I upgrade to a larger tank.
All of my fish I have right now besides one are under 3 inches since they're still very young. Yeah I also didn't know my pleco would be getting that big when I got him. My mistake :(
Not sure why they're so commonly sold when...
No reason in particular. I just really wanted a female goldfish since I don't think I've ever had one. I got a 46 gal in the beginning of March and I plan on getting a bigger tank since I have 4 Goldies AND a common pleco.
I want so many fish and I want koi so bad I really need to just invest...
I LOVE koi but I don't have the money or room to make a pond so I decided to get the next best similar fish which are comet goldfish and I plan on getting a shubunkin. They can be so mesmerizing to watch.
Not good quality photos but it's good enough :')

I'm being selfish and I want to get a female goldfish to keep with my other males but I wasn't sure if it would be cruel to have her with them. I know there's the possibility of them breeding but don't they eat the eggs if they aren't hidden?
I guess my question is:
Am I able to keep male and...
Hmm. Are you able to take a photo of the fish turning orange and show me?
I'm glad your other fish returned to normal. I lost a few fish to an ammonia spike, they turned all black. :'(

Maybe it's just a normal color change but the majority of my fish actually died when I put them in an uncycled tank and they turned black but also on their bodies too. Is there an ammonia spike?
