Yes, some 6 months ago I put a driftwood inside the tank

Dear all, I have an annoying problem with my aquarium. It is a 200 liter tank and is provided with two external power filters, one undergravel filter, and one UV sterilizer. I keep mostly goldfish in it. It is located in a room of my house without the possibility of sunlight and anyways I keep...

It's a 30 gallons tank. I am glad you told me that. I heard from a friend that these could eat the goldfish fins and tails when they grpw up, but I wasn't sure it was true

This is also known as the Colombian Shark Fish or Silver Shark Catfish, etc, I wonder if it is good tankmate for Goldfish...are ther chaces it will eat their tails and fins?

Does anyone know if these Silver Shark Catfish can become aggresisve? are they compatible with goldfish?

Ok I will try to post pictures by tomorrow

In response to you all: - Thenk you for the fin rot info. But we are back again to bacterial...nevertheless the document suggests that the product I used is not good for this desease - The plants were brand new and I washed them with water before using them. - The fins look even worse than the...

Undergravel filter (biological)+External power filter with a mixture of black coal and a white stone that helps control ammonia nitrite + UV sterilizer

Thanks a lot Thanks a lot to everyone for your comments, I just checked the PH & ammonia levels and they are adequate, as well as the temperature. My tank is size 120 and actually the fish is small yet. I am not sure about the species but it is light brown with brown dots all over. I...
