Here it is my new-to-me 125 gallon tank all cleaned up, running with the goldies: 3 common (Leo the Great, Ignatius of Antioch, the Venerable Bede) and 3 fancies (Thomas More, Thomas Cramner and John Fisher). It has four lights, so far and the following filters (2/3rds from their old tanks)...

Hi! I spend a lot of time at my neighbor's pond and one of her beautiful koi must have scraped the top of his head/before fin on a rock. It looks like a scale is missing. If it were a goldie in my tank, I'd put the fish in a hospital tank and give it salt baths. What should be done for a...

Well my new-to-me 125 gallon arrived Sunday and working through to about 10 PM yesterday I cleaned and converted the formerly salt tank to fresh water for my goldies. I threw out all the old salt media from my new-to-me 405 which had no manual. (Don't worry I also just transfered over from the...

Well this enormous 240 gallon acrylic tank (used) drilled for a sump is available for my forever home for my goldies. But I don't have a clue about how to do it. I know I can use another tank for the sump and I have a 29 gallon I can use...but then? What type of pump? Do I just look for one...

I have my eye on a new larger tank for my goldie, but it was last used as a saltwater aquarium...what do I need to know and how do I condition/clean it for the transition to freshwater? Thanks, Chris

Hi! I just setup a new to me Penn Plax Cascade 1000 canister filter and the spray bar (at the end of it) kept squeaking. No kidding, it sounded like a squirrel or chipmunk or so my dogs thought. When I put my finger over the offending hole the squeak stopped but I could get anything to hold...

On Friday a friend and I moved a 40 gallon (I think I did the math right) pentagon corner aquarium, stand and fish. We kept the gravel and the filter media wet, carried the fish in a cooler and reset it up in my house. I'm hoping as the tank was cycled that it will stay that way and not do a...

Dear Friends, I know that feeding peas--parboiled without outer skin and cut up--is supposed to be good for goldfish. The question is how many and how often to supplement their diet. 1 pea per 3-4 inch goldfish? Thanks Chris

I'm new here and have been lurking for a while. I'm an Episcopal priest and my 5 goldfish are named after the Doctors of the Church (Leo, Ambrose, Gregory, Ignatius and Teresa). I originally was given three years ago a number of young goldfish from a neighbor's pond--they didn't think they would...
