wonder how big of a tank you'd have to get for one of those things! i wonder how much they weigh at 4 feet long

that thing looks awesome, i wonder how big of an aquarium i'd have to get to keep one of those :D

i breed platies to sell to my lfs, and currently have a tank with 50 of them reaching around 1 inch long each. for the first couple of weeks crushed fish flakes are sufficient, but after that i add in some tubifex worms for good measure. the best way to breed them i've found is to get a little...

i don't think you're supposed to carry it around at all, because who would carry around all of that weight, i mean if it's 8 pounds per gallon, then those things must be monsterously heavy. something tells me that they're just a decorative version of a fish tank

i live in cary (right next to raleigh, and the only fish-oriented store is a place called fish pro's, which has a ton of different kinds of fish that you can't find other places around here, but i hardly ever go there because of the insane prices

what store is that?

well, thy're all actually fantails, so being different types can't exactly be the problem

it's a 20 gallon, and i just measured them, and the two larger ones are about 3 and a half each, and the small one is about 2 and a half inches long, so that adds up to 9 1/2 inches of goldfish in the tank. There's also a pleco, and 2 chinese algae eaters in the tank, but the plecon just sits...

Back in last novemeber i bought 3 one inch fantail goldfish from petsmart, who were all the same size back then. Now two of the have grown to be 4-5 inches, and one of them is about 3 inches long, And i've had to keep him in QT for a while now, because one ofthe goldfish kept on picking at him...

that's a pretty cute little guineapig. my guinepig, chester, is almost six years old, and has been the fater to several litters of little baby guinepigs :mrgreen:

well, i've finished setting up and moving my goldfish to a new 5gal qt tank, so i'm hoping that with the medication i'm using he'll heal

ty urville, i'll try a half-dose of salt, and cross my fingers and hope the snails make it

ty for the info, i was just reluctant to go buy more medications until i was certain it was necessary since it's so dang expensive. the kind of medication i was using is PimaFix, do you know if those meds you listed work better or worse then the PimaFix?

well, today i went aquarium shopping, and bought some freshwater aquarium salt, since one of my goldfish has a fungal infection, and i ran out of the medication.(i've been told the salt will also help out, and he's pretty close to being healed) And i was thinking about using it in my platy tank...

my fantails are incredibly messy, and it's really hard to keep the water clear
