PLEASE don't do goldfish! They are defiantly not good in anything less than 20 gallons (30 preferably! Lol!)

Yes it will survive. Moss balls survive independently. The individual pieces will grow at a rate of 5 cm a year

Gilbert!!!

If you can get a 50 gal, that would be good :)

Hey my fellow goldfish lovers! I'm new to having a all goldfish tank, I only have one now in my 50 gal, but I have a lot of questions!! 1. What kind is my fancy goldfish? 2. How often should I give them peas and other veggies? 3. What other foods besides peas and lettuce can I feed them...

Here's Gilbert! Does anyone know what type he is?!

Here's a better one :)

Forgot the pic! Lol

Hey guys I got one! What kind is he?

Hey it sounds like we have something in common, you have 3 young Goldie's in a 60; and I want 4 young goldies a 50! Lol! So, how much waste are we talking about? Like, will I have to do WCs multiple times a week? About the veggies, how should I prepare them? What is NLS? I'm such a newbie when...

Oh, one more thing, do they eat algae? I was thinking about purposely growing algae so they could eat it :)

When I get them, what should my WC schedule be? I've been doing about 15 gallons a week, and that seems to keep the nitrites at 40 at the end of the week. How many nitrates would 4 fancies make? Also, I have sinking pellets that I plan to feed, but they aren't goldfish pellets, is that ok?

Hi there! I am actually going to do the same thing (except I have a 50 gal)! I got the ok to get four in my tank (with an upgrade later of course). If I can do four fancies in a 50, I don't see why you couldn't do two (you could do three) in a 40 gal. I would consider talking to jlk, shes the...

Well, I think that with a canister, you're getting more GPH and I think it's better for heavy bio loads that goldfish have

Wow I didn't know that some goldfish can be mean! Wow I have some research to do! By attitude, what exactly do they do? Fin nip? I defiantly have some time for research, I probably can't get them until the end of the month (hopefully sooner!!) :)

Thank you! The 50 is already established and ready to go (I have a few mollies that I can relocate to my 15 gal). I have been doing some research about how messy they are, and I think I'm ready for the challenge :) If everything works out, I should be able to upgrade either in the summer, or the...

Well, they looked like this, and I was thinking about getting 3 of them, and a black moore :)

I would suggest the canister for goldfish :)

Hello jlk! I'm not sure what type they are at Petsmart/petco, but I defiantly want three of those and a black Moore, defiantly a black Moore :) I really have my heart set on four, because I do plan to upgrade either this summer, or as soon as I can :) hey, should I take out my power head when I...

Thanks! Haha I LOVE doing water changes! Just curious, i plan to get fantails, and I have a power head, do they like calm water?

So I was thinking getting four goldfish in my 50 gal. They would be the only fish in there. I read that you could easily do three, but four is possible with a little more care and filtration. My tank cycles 14 times in an hour (750 GPH). I also do plan on upgrading to a 55 in the summer. I...

What are the dimensions? 36-18-17?

*facepalm! That looks to be no more than a 40 breeder! Haha stupid people, id like to test their water! Lol! The water looks so cloudy!

So basically he was to small for your other tank? I gotcha now ;) I'm just sayin that I'd probably best to keep him in a bigger tank :)

Yeah he's ok for now, but with his growth rate, he'll either become stunted in no time, or your going to have to upgrade. Why not put a little fish in a large tank? I have a friend with a 4 inch oscar in a 75 gal, yeah the fish is small, but not for long!! And it's less stressful for him to be...
