Algae possibly So what I’m understanding is that this could be beneficial growth? I do a 25% water change weekly. It’s been a busy month for me so I haven’t tested the water since the beginning of the month. I was gonna do a 50% water change today and clean all the plants with vinegar. Should I...

Hello all! Happy Holidays! My 55 gallon has been up and running with just one common goldfish in it, for about 3 months now. A months ago I got some new led lights on just one side. I have no live plants. Last week I noticed a brown residue on one side of the front glass on my tank. I cleaned it...

I agree with all of the above. I rescued a goldfish from the fair and had no idea what I was getting myself into. Now that I've done the research I realize. I got a 55 gallons n for my one goldfish which will still have to be transferred to a pond at some point. I order an API fresh water...

Too small of a tank I'm new to this but that little guy does not look healthy. Are you testing your water? That's really too small of a tank for 2 goldfish. Although they seem small now they are huge waste producers!! They say at least 20gallons for the first goldfish and 10gallons for each...

Do I need to have gravel/sand covering the whole bottom of a 55 gallon tank n tank? I just bought a used one and plan on just transferring what I have in a 7.5 gallon to the new tank. Should I buy more or can I leave it bare? I have 4 marissmo moss balls to put at the bottom.

Thank you! I am really attached to him. He ate from my hand today! I have another question. What do I do about my tap water testing positive for ammonia?

So I e already posted several times and have another change of plans. I've become too emotionally attached to my goldfish so I want to keep him. I'm purchasing a 55 gallon tank for him to live in for a couple of years until I can figure the pond thing out or a bigger aquarium. He's currently in...

So I have a 7.5 gallon tank with a goldfish in it. I found the gold fish a pond home and willing be transferring him this weekend. I would like to cycle the tank and put a beta and some snails in it. Do I need to start over with a new filter? I'm pretty sure I start out with new water because...

Can a goldfish be in a tank with no sand or gravel at the bottom? And if he's already in a tank too small should I take most of the fake plants out to give more room and make it easier to clean?

Aquarium vac A Terapump that I got from Amazon. I'm not having good luck with it.

I am a new goldfish owner and trying to get him in the proper sized tank without breaking the bank. I acquired this goldfish after taking my nephew to the fair and he lived through 4 months of a VERY small box plastic tank we purchased from the fair. He is now in 7.5 gallons but I have done my...

I currently have 1 goldfish and am looking for a used aquarium in my area that is suited for him. It looks like I'm gonna end up with a 55 gallon. What filter do you recommend. I've never had an aquarium before

I cannot post on buy sell or trade to rehome my goldfish. Why not? What do I need to do?

Goldfish in too small tank So I live in Texas. Would it be better to just find a pond to put him in?

Ammonia Can I add another filter to the tank? Will that help? And how do I know what kind of goldfish it is? If it's a comet or common why in the world do they give them away at the fair?
