someone please help me!

I currently have a black moor goldfish and a golden dojo loach living together in a 10 gallon aquarium, and now that they are getting bigger it is time for me to upgrade my aquarium! So i am going to get a 30 gallon aquarium with a sand substrate to house them in. I was also considering adding...

Awesome! Will my LFS have year snails? (Also can you send me a picture so I can be sure I really get the right snails?) however, will my goldfish eat the snails? (And if so are they cheap enough that this wouldn't be a huge concern?)

Okay, sorry for the late response, I have been very busy recently. I checked and the stuff does in fact rub off of the leaves, although I do have to rub them vigorously to get it off, so should I rub it off the rest of the leaves or is there a better way to get rid of it? Also is there any way...

It is a 10g tank that has been set up for two months with no added fertilizer. I can look up the plant species when I get home and will check on the rubbing the leaves then too

Is this fungus or algae ect.? And is there any easy way to fish it? It appears on the older leaves of my plants and not the new ones, progressively gets darker until it looks black

I'm glad to see someone else is able to do what I am attempting XD thanks for all of the great advice, I will definitely get some of these anchors!

Those are some really good ideas! I never thought of using the leaves as anchors. Fortunately for me my goldfish seems to be docile enough towards the floating plants ATM. I figure when I upgrade later I may grow all of my trimmings in the 10g tank with some neons so they're larger before she...

Thanks for the input guys! I understand goldfish don't usually get along with plants well, the only reason that I am trying to get these plants to root is because my goldfish doesn't kill the plants after they root, she only tears them up before they root. Anyone else have any creative solutions?

I got this plant (the plants on the left) from my LFS about a month ago, it has been doing fairly well and recently I went in and gave it a trim. While I was trimming them I saw the tops of three of them were ready to be cut off and replanted (they were shooting out a root near the top). When I...

Thanks for the response mebbid, unfortunately by the time I read it my fish had already died, i will defiantly use that method in the future though!

Sorry, accidentally hit post, I was saying none of my other fish show any signs of sickness yet

Okay, well I have a new development, my sick fish is now laying sideways on the ground, he is still breathing but not moving. Should I get him out of the tank to help keep my other fish uninfected? Or can she still be helped? None of my other fis

Temperature is about 77, it stays constant but it is hard to get an exact reading because I have a cheap stick on thermometer. My goldfish actually seemed to like the warmer temperatures better for some reason :?

There are two pictures. Keep in mind she does have a few white spots naturally
