I recently got back my interest in keeping an aquarium, not since I was about 16 years old.

I'm now 52 years old, semi-retired and live alone in Farmington,MO.

I regained my interest after receiving a small gold fish that was given to me by a neighbor that didn't know what to do with it, after winning at a County Fair "Fish Bowl & Ping Pong Ball" event.

After a few days, I began to feel sorry for the lonely little goldfish, in a tiny dirty bowl on top of my Bakers Rack, and soon became obsessed.

I just dropped $225.00 for a Small Custom 29"L x 7"W x 9"H, approx. 8 gallon freshwater aquarium and accessories that would just fit the top shelf of the Bakers Rack in my dining room. It should be here in a few days, shipped from California.

I guess I've regained the bug, after all these years. My new Gold Fish, named Gloria, should be Very Happy ! :fish2:

Welcome Aboard!

I commend you for the rescue, goldfish seem to be used as prizes more than any other fish combined.

The tank you ordered will work for a short time, but I'd recommend you look at upgrading soon enough to a more appropriate 20g tank for Gloria. Over filtration is always a good thing to consider when it comes to goldies, since they're pooping machines.

:welcome: to AA. Gloria sounds like she's in good hands. She'll need a larger tank as she gets larger. Goldfish have large bio-loads and really know how to dirty their water:facepalm:
