I would guess he is about 18cms (scientifically done with a ruler against the tank lol). I too wondered whether this the wrong time of year to be thinking about this, the pond is 4ft deep and has a waterfall that agitates the surface and prevents it from freezing. However would release him next...

Thank you for replying. Am in the UK and I wouldn't consider releasing him into a public pond or river but this is a man made pond in my garden albeit a very old one about 30 years old. Am wondering if he would survive or the Great Crested Newts which are protected.

Hi, I have a 6 year old goldfish but it is becoming really obvious that his tank isn't big enough. Having exhausted rehoming possibilities and I really can't get a larger tank at this time, I was wondering if I could release him into the pond in our garden. He is a common goldfish, he would be...

So the good news is that I am only moving 30 minutes away. i just need to know people's experiences of moving a tank and how they did it. I have a well established 200 litre tall tank. It contains cardinals, harlequins, rummynose and a dwarf plec that has been in there for so long I have...

An Angelfish and Dwarf Gourami Thank you for your replies, I don't have either in my tank at the moment, but would like both. The tank has lots of cover and plants at the surface so am thinking that I might give it a try and add them at the same time so they can grow up together. And I do...

Hi, Have read so much conflicting advice about this that I thought I would just ask myself. I have a 40g tall with some rummynose, cory cats and cherry barbs. The tank is cycled and everything is fine. I bought a tall tank because I wanted an angelfish but now wondering if I can have a dwarf...

Have recently upgraded from my 15g tank to a 40g tank. Seeded my 40g tank with filter media etc from 15g which has been established for 5 years. After a week added the cherry barbs from the 15g tank (3m 3f). And everything's changed. The barbs who were really uninteresting in the 15g are now...
