    Comet goldfish

    We have comet goldfish about 2yrs old, and have noticed one of them has developed 2 small red lumps, one on each side of his body just in front of the tail. In the centre of one is what looks like a small white spike. Any ideas what this is and how to treat it? We have already put some general...

    Tank cleaner

    Hi, we currently have a 180l tank with 2 comet goldfish, one minnow-like thing and a panda moor. We had a hillstream loach however he died :( we're looking for a replacement tank-cleaner but wondering if anyone had suggestions for alternative species for a cold freshwater tank...

    Cool! Never heard about the orange slice before, might give it a try! we've had the same problem with goldfish uprooting/eating plants, annoying when you like aquascaping!

    Freshwater Blue Lobster

    We have just upgraded to an 180l tank, we have 2 comet goldfish, 1 minnow and just added a Panda Moor. We are looking at getting a blue lobster however I'm worried he would pose a threat to the other fish/take up too much space, does anyone have any experiance/advice re. this they could share...

    Food/Treats for Goldfish - what do you give?

    We have 2 Comets, a silver minnow feeder fish and a little Panda Moor; they get fed flake food as their basic grub. However we also supplement their diet with Cucumber, Shelled Peas, Brine shrimp, Tubifex and they have Elodea plants that they like to munch on! We tried them with bloodworms once...

    New 180 Litre, tropical tanks combined into 90l

    Finally settled on a 2 tank set up! The goldfish have been upgraded to a 180 litre and a new addition purchased (hopefully getting 1/2 hillstream loaches for that as well). That meant we could combine the two tropical tanks into the now vacated 90 litre! All seem happy! And the Comets have...

    Goldfish upgraded to 180 litre!

    Yeh they so do! Had one of the comets and the minnow for 2 years now, the other comet 1 year. We ve got mollies, guppys, tetras, kuhli loaches, shrimp, sparkling guorami but the only one who seems to have as much personality as the goldfish is the ADF! The minnow - 'fisher' likes swimming around...
