    Goldfish in tropical fish tank?

    Okay I just found a friend that has a large pond and several goldfish, would it be safe to add it in there? I have no experience with goldfish ponds. Is it okay to introduce a small goldfish in with large (fully grown) goldfish? She says they have been in the pond for over a year and healthy...

    Goldfish in tropical fish tank?

I have a 30g tank with 3 Albino Cory Catfish, a female Betta, a Marineland Penguin 150, and a Steal-Pro heater set at 78 degrees F. Can I safely add the goldfish to this set-up? I realize that goldfish need much, much...

    tank cleaning..how do i get the
