One thing my three goldies have taught me over the months (going on a year now) is that they are deceptively needy, but it always feels worthwhile. It's nice knowing that my fish actually recognize me and look forward to simple things like feeding. Saltwater and fancy freshwater fish would be nice, but I wouldnt be surprised if I decide to have goldfish from now on.
Right now this forum is just for something fun to look forward to (my budget a the moment is extremely limited), but I'm wanting to hear what some goldfish-only aquarium owners (colony) have to say- anything- about this sort of aquarium.
I've seen on youtube videos of peoples' 100+ gallon aquariums with several fancies in it. There seem to be a lot of debates that occur over the issue of the number of goldies per several gallons. I've read about some people successfully keeping 9 or 10 fancies in a 150 gallon tank without any issues over time, whereas others wrote about reluctantly keeping 5 in that amount of water. What's one to go by with this sort of thing?
