Hello,
Firstly thank you for letting me join the forum, and apologies for my silly questions.
I have recently re-set up a tank. It is a 90L tank with a 550L/h filter with live plants and several logs, and coldwater
I previously had a rosebarb and a fantail in it (for 7 years) but they died when I was unwell (I was in hospital for 9 months, and the people who tried to care for them didn’t know how). It was not neglect.
I now (4yrs later) would like to get fish again. I can no longer do tank maintenance myself (due to disability) so have hired professional fish aquarium/pond Maintence people to come once a month (they suggested this schedule). They helped me set it up and I have one more week to wait until I can get fish.
I can afford Finances to ask them to come more regularly but am wondering if I need to? (There are no fish in tank yet - does it depend on type / number?).
Is once a month normal? (I can’t remember what my routine was before) I don’t want my fish to get sick because I cannot do emergency water changing
I would like to get goldfish (two fantail type, so they are friends) Is my tank big enough?
Are there other recommendations if people think goldfish are not ok (I remember they can be dirty) that are slow and peaceful to watch?
Many thanks for your help
