Delighted to find this forum. I'm a complete beginner with aquariums and am in process of collecting all that is needed to start one. We are a community of sisters here and I have just inherited a small pond, but it is in such bad shape that we plan to start from scratch in the spring. Meanwhile I have been advised to move the goldfish to an aquarium for the winter. Very cold in Nevada, hence this effort. Otherwise my field is music and web design and I have a great love for animals. Originally from Switzerland and Scotland. Already have 2 questions which will post (hopefully) in the right place very soon.
