Yes, today I moved my 9 sweeties to the Sierra Water Gardens. :( 3 good friends helped me and I tried to do it gently, but of course they must have been quite traumatized. It was a lovely day but the pond water was much colder than there were used to . . . Anyway they dipped the plastic bag in...

I am giving my lovely comets to a pond very soon :( and thinking of starting anew with either of the above with my 50g tank. Any kind advice would be most appreciated.

Hi Friends ;) Maybe some of you have read the long story of my experience with moving 9 goldfish from a bad small pond, to a 50 g aquarium.That was a year ago and what a beginner I was. But thanks to some terrific advice I received here, for which I am ever grateful, we all went through the...

I have a 50 gallon freshwater aquarium with 9 goldfish successfully saved from an old pond. This is my first experience, so I really owe my success to the wonderful support from members of this forum. The tank came with 2 hoods and fluorescent lights, (standard I believe), from Petsmart. Now the...

Last November I rescued 9 goldfish (comets, I think) from a bad pond. I learned everything from this site, corresponding with some wonderful helpers for whom I am so grateful :). the move was quite an adventure! Started out with a 29G tank, but now have moved to a 50G. The little community ALL...

Upgrading to a new 50g tank which came with 2 hoods and also have heard a lot about LED lighting as a better option. Anyone tried that? And... probably a dumb question but I absolutely cannot figure out how to install a check valve on my tubing... Tubing came with it but it does not seem to...

Just to let admin know that in replying to a wonderful post by GlassBird I clicked on 'report post' icon by mistake. GlassBird is so kind and generous with giving expert advice to a beginner. :oops:

I 'inherited' a small pond with about 8 small goldfish. It is in a terrible state and needs a complete overhaul, which I plan to do next spring. In the meantime I'm setting up a 29 gallon aquarium to move them to for the winter. Would any of you have a good technique for catching the fish...

I inherited a small pond in very bad shape with about 9 goldfish. Have been advised to transfer them to an aquarium which I am setting up. Up to now they have been coming up regularly for food but suddenly it is cold and they are staying down. Anyone have advice on how to catch them gently? Thanks:)

Hi there, I just bought a Top Fin 29 gallon aquarium kit (a complete newbie) and would be very happy for any advice as to the best power filter (quiet) to use. I'm not sure the one that came with the kit is adequate. I've searched online and 3 came up: Marineland Emperor (but people say it's...

Delighted to find this forum. I'm a complete beginner with aquariums and am in process of collecting all that is needed to start one. We are a community of sisters here and I have just inherited a small pond, but it is in such bad shape that we plan to start from scratch in the spring. Meanwhile...
