I'm glad to hear the trip went well!
BTW~time to change your location
From another thread, you said you had "eight very small little guys & 2 large fan tails apx. 3 Inchs each."
That's a lot of goldies in a 35
gal. I know they are small now, but most goldie keepers will tell you a minimum of 10 gals per goldie for best heath and long life. I was in the
LFS the other day biting my tongue until it almost fell off. Behind me were two customers that did not know each other and were talking about fish. I won't go into the whole thing, but I heard guy A say to guy B that if you keep a goldfish in a smallish container, they get to a certain length and then die. They never get too big--it's true what they say about the size of the tank constricting size of the fish. That was after guy B stated he would be cycling his tank with "throw away" fish. My husband could not get me out of there fast enough. Even as I type this , my blood is boiling.
What was my point?? Oh, you will need to upgrade your tank, or think about another tank for your goldies to live healthy, long lives! I find myself getting new tanks (that would explain the 6 in the house and 2 in my office).
