    Good quality food for fancy goldfish

    I know you said something along the lines of a prepared pellet but have you tried repashy? It's a really good veggie based food for them and doesn't take too much time or effort to prepare. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Panda goldfish

    I'm sorry I do not know of any breeders but I just thought I would let you know that pandas often don't stay panda...they usually change colors. Just thought it might be something for you to be aware of when considering the price of the fish..... :-) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Goldfish doesn't look too good.

    I don't want to go around giving bad advise. I didn't actually know that if you had enough plants that you could have all readings at 0. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Goldfish doesn't look too good.

    I would say a cycled tank should have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and some nitrates below 20. So in turn you are correct. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
