My 55 gallons has two AquaClear 110's on it. Do you think this provides enough oxygen for the solo, 6-7 inch goldfish in there? I've been considering adding a bubbler (even though I think they're terribly ugly) because I want to increase my goldie's water temperature to 82F so that he can have...

Well, somebody brought home ich :( I'm buying paraguard to treat the goldfish in the 55 gallon, but the tank also has a pleco... I currently have a 10 gallon with platys, shrimp, java moss, and elodea... The plan is to rip up all the plants and net the paltys, and get them into my OTHER 10...

I managed to get ich in both of my tanks :( I should have kept the new fish quarantined longer... I understand that plecos and shrimp are both very sensitive to ich treatments? My 50 gallon tank has my common goldie, a rubber lip pleco. My 10 gallon has platies and shrimp. I see white spots...

My goldie just got a rubber lipped friend!! And oh my gosh I love him! He's adorable! My goldie now lives in a warmer tank :) I keep the tank at 72F to keep the pleco happy..... OR I DID UNTIL MY HEATER CRAPPED OUT!!! Now the tank gets cold at night :( New heater on the way. My major concern...

I've been uncertain of what to do with my two 10 gallon tanks for a while now. Well one of them just became home to 3 platys! Two large wag platies… and one small sunburst. I hope I can keep them happy, because I've only ever done goldfish care… Sand substrate. Heater keeps the temp around...

From a 10 gallon with a pitiful amount of gravel, some worn-away sea shells, and orange tank water... Mr. Sunshine has been enjoying his new 55 gallon home for about two weeks. I've adored the process... I took a 55 gal tank with an old cracking plastic brace, and silicon-ed in the glass...

1 common goldfish 55 gallon tank AquaClear110 + Aqueon QuietFlow10 (the small filter from his old tank) Found that his temperatures were always low... never in the 70's, always in the 60's. I've added a heater to keep him in the low 70's. (ViaAqua Quartz Heater, 300W - recommended for 80 gal...

I wouldn't consider myself to have a planted tank; my sand is just pool filter sand, and the only plants I have are elodea and java moss. My tanks are outdoors :cool: so I've never needed to bother with lights (plus I'm never home around sunset, so the few times I've tried using the lights, I...

I got more java moss from my LFS yesterday and found several tiny brown-shelled snails. Uh oh... I mean, I wash my plants first, and I plucked off the snails. I'm notoriously impatient :facepalm: (aquarium keeping is helping me learn :banghead:) so of course I put the plants in my unoccupied 10...

I inherited an old common goldfish who had been living in a 10gal ever since the owner had won him at a fair, and have since moved him to a 55gal I can't get his ammonia or nitrite to 0... it's always a bit over - closer to 0.25 ppm... I do really frequent water changes nitrates are usually...

My goldfish is pretty big... about 6 inches... and I wanna move him to a bigger tank... Is netting really the best way to move him...? I'm so worried about bending his fins the wrong way or something.... could I move in in a container, with some of his old water, then just submerge the...

Mr. Sunshine is my beloved common goldfish <3 he's ~6 in long (he's a big boy!) and I started caring for him about 6 weeks ago :) He's about to move into a 55 gallon (thank goodness... he's WAY to big for a 10 gallon!!!!! D:) and I keep tossing around the idea of tankmates.... Pretty...

The highlight of my aquarium-life is my Mr. Sunshine! My 6 in. common goldfish :) He's an outdoor fish (read: natural lighting) He's about to move into a 55 gallon tank, and I'm hoping some floating plants will help block out light and deter algae growth... And, ya know, get Mr. Sunshine to eat...

Mr. Sunshine (common goldfish, 6 inches) is about to move from a cramped 10 gallon, to a more appropriate 55 gallon! But I'm nervous... I've cared for him for 6 weeks, after inheriting him from a teenager who's had him since she was 7... She won him at the fair... And I love him!! It's not...

You can see them in garages, warehouses, or restaurants... Those steel wire shelves meant to hold hundreds upon hundred of pounds... I realized, THAT'S what I wanted as a fish tank stand!!! Mr. Sunshine, my 6-inch goldfish, lives on my patio in a little 10 gallon tank. I decided to be very...

A week ago, I found a 55 gallon tank, complete with AquaClear 110 and some decor for $55! I'LL TAKE IT! But man oh MAN was this tank DIRTY! It's COVERED in dried calcium… filled with several inches of gravel… had been sitting in someone's storage… and worst of all? STILL DAMP AND GROSS in the...

I'll talk about me, but first, let's talk about Mr. Sunshine. Mr. Sunshine is a common goldfish. He lives in a 10 gallon tank... ...but he is about 6 inches long. He belonged to one of my students (I am a private math tutor), and it all began at the end of one of our sessions when she asked...
