Thanks! It took a ton of trial and error. A lot of dead plants. And almost a sledgehammer to the tank. But we finally figured it out! (Luckily before the sledgehammer came into play.) You can do it! It just takes time. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It's an AquaticLife Dual T5HO Thank you! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks, everyone! It also irks me when people use bowls. I have persuaded more than one person not to get a goldfish before at the pet store when I saw them looking at the bowls. I stopped watching the show Tanked due to how they treated goldfish in the one episode. They made a drum set into...

Hey Everyone, I just finished rescaping the tank a couple days ago, and I'm proud of how it turned out. The plants seem to grow like mad, so I took the opportunity to change it up a bit. I'll be glad to answer any questions about the tank. Oh, and yes, this tank has a goldfish in it but also...

It was sold as Water Wisteria at my lfs. They both look very similar to me, so I just went with what it was sold as. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey Everyone, I literally just got done rescaping our tank. In the process, I realized that we have way too much Water Wisteria for our 55g... Believe it or not, we started out with just two stems. The two giant ones in the right side of the picture to be exact. Anyway, I would really...

I love him just the same. Doesn't matter to me if he marbles. I just wanted to check with everyone to see if this was in any way a sign of him getting sick. I guess you could say I'm a paranoid parent? XD Thank you though! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Each goldfish will pick what plants you can ultimately keep. They will also redecorate for you. :) There's a bunch of trial and error with a planted goldfish tank. I feed peas a few times a week to help cut down on the nibbling of plants. Here are the plants that I've had experience with my...

Also, if one were to quit working, you would still have a back up. That's the main reason I went with two smaller filters. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm guessing no one has any idea either. If anything happens to the little guy or if he starts acting strange, I'll definitely update here. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh, the poor thing looks very sickly. Please test your water ASAP and post parameters - Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates, pH, and Temp. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have two AC 70s on my 55g for my shubunkin goldfish. Love those filters! There's a ton of room to choose what you want in the filters if you like to customize it. I currently have the foam block that comes with it, a pack of purigen, and two bags of bio balls in each of my filters. I took out...

Is it possible that he's just developing a marbling color after this amount of time? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Haha. Well everyone feels the need to put their two cents in when they see something they think is not right. I know I always want to point out that goldfish cannot survive in a tiny bowl without filtration if I see a question asked with that in it. Sometimes it gets difficult to stay on...

It's possible that they starved to death. The wood is a part of plecos diets. It aids in digestion. I know that my bristlenose pleco almost needs hand fed because the shubunkin goldfish goes crazy for the algae wafer. It's a constant battle to keep the algae wafer hidden under the driftwood...

How long after the marks appeared did he pass away? The black marks have gradually appeared. They were just on his fins but they are now on his body too, as seen in the picture. It's been well over a month since they started. He still eats his algae wafer and cleans. He doesn't seem...

Hey Everyone, I have answered the questions below and attached a couple photos to hopefully find out what's going on with my Pleco... 1~What type of fish is afflicted? **Red Bristlenose Pleco In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability **Black spots...

At first I thought that too about one goldfish in a 55g. The color and their size over time though really stands out and seems to fill the tank. Especially our shubunkin against our moderately to heavily planted tank. They grow fairly quickly in adequate space.

Another goldfish means that you need a bigger tank with even better filtration. Goldfish are extremely messy fish. My boyfriend and I have one shubunkin goldfish in a 55g tank. We also have one red bristlenose pleco in there. That's all. Just with those two fish, we have two AC70 filters.

I would most definitely recommend a hood or glass top for your new tank. My goldfish loves to jump. And definitely get the biggest tank you can for your fish. IMO fancies need a minimum of 30g for one fish and single tails need 55g. I have a shubunkin goldfish, which is a single tail, and he...

Even the most docile of fish can become aggressive when placed in crowded conditions. Two male bristlenose plecos will fight for territory, especially in a small tank.

Well then, good luck with your cichlids!

I have not heard of that. I did a lot of research before adding one in with our shubunkin. Bristlenose are very calm plecos. We have no problem with ours.
