Just got my goldfish in their new 40gal tank ( dual filters dual airpump, frequent gravel vacs and low to moderate WCs for 2 fancytails, they're fine. They aren't too big for it yet.) a nice LED lighting kit for $110. Its 1500 lumens, bear in mind this is a 40gal long tank, so its lower in...

Lfs had a black friday sale, 20% off everything. So i got my goldfish a 40gal long tank as the size of their 29gal seemed to not be roomy enough. Since the new tank had to go where the old tank was, i got a 15 gallon tupperware bucket, washed it out, and drained half the water until it, then...

I know i added this at the end of my old thread, but since its separate i thought maybe i should make it its own thread. Im unsure the etiquette on this. Anyways... Small bushy nose pleco, got him almost 2 years ago. Was about half an inch long. Died about 5.5" long. Stopped eating a few days...

Not the tetra tank of previous posts, but the off and on troublesome 29gal goldfish and pleco tank of previous posts (ich once, long since cured. Bottom sitting fish, she's done it since day one, no other symptoms, occasionally frayed fins, ends up it was the plant roots) This time I'm not sure...

Not sure if this is just a pleco with extra energy to burn, or if she's sick. But ever since my goldfish got a bit sick and i tried using melafix (did nothing, but oddly low dosing the melafix may have worked better) i have noticed she will do a crazy fast barrel roll. Not swimming drunk, not...

Just got my InstantOcean brand salinity meter. Measures salt and gravity. Obviously its designed for salt water, but i want to make sure when i add aquarium salt to the tank during water changes i don't go over a safe threshold. Anyone know what that threshold is? Ive seen formulas for...

Sooo.. i have a 29 gallon tank with a small bushynose pleco, 2 fancytail goldfish (ryukin) and some hornswart.. hornswort? Whatever it is, you know what i mean. Currently i have a fun bold colored them going, bright red and purple gravel substrate and vibrant fake plants with a custom backdrop...

Anyone have a picky pleco? I've got this bushy nose, almost a year old now. He love love loooves zucchini. And algea pellets. And his one driftwood. But nothing else. Carrots, Brussels, cabbage.. just ignores them. Oh and nothing blanched. You blanch it, he ignores it. So of course i wash the...

I've found plenty of articles of goldfish leaping OUT of tanks. But nothing on goldfish just.. leaping in the tank. Playfully it seems. Both my goldfish just started doing it recently. Swim down.. dart up, sploosh! Dive down. Anyone else have leaping (non-suicidal) goldfish? Mine are two...

I've seen some aquarium sites where you can add your tank details to your profile for quick reference. That way if you ask a question you dont have to retype it every time. Any chance we have something like that here? I couldn't find it on the mobile app. My tank profile would be 29 gallon...

He's a very active eater, doesn't like greenbeans, only zucchini and baby spinach so far (plus wafers) and he behaves normally. ..so why am i wondering if he is sick? I recently saw red on his belly, i don't remember seeing it there before, but he's not often on the front glass, he loves the...

Tank has been established for about a year now. There were some problems last summer, lost 2 goldfish. Since September all levels have been fine. (I get the water tested at least once a month, pet store does the liquid drop tests for free). I have a 29-gal, 2 Ryukinfancytails, about 3inches each...

29 gal tank, cycled, get the water tested monthly, it's been "perfectly fine" for 4 months now. (There was a slight fluctuation when changing from my 10gal to the 29, and another slight fluctuation when adding fish but it's leveled out) I have two medium sized fancy tails and a 1.5" long female...

Finally got my tank fully cycled. 29 gallons two small fancy tail goldfish. Added one small bushy nose pleco, he's just under 2" now. First 2 nights he completely cleaned a big quartze rock i had in the tank covered in algea.. there isn't much algea elsewhere in the tank. I blanched...

So I've had my 29gal up for about a month. I have a solid wood table with 4 legs that are short and also solid that screw into it. I leveled everything, filled the tank, substrate water, etc, and made sure at the 1/4 , 1/2, 3/4 and full points that it was still level. Over the time its been up...

A bit of history. Started out with 2 small fancy tail goldfish (Gonzo and Camilla) in a 10gal with intent to upgrade as they got a bit bigger. Thought the tank was cycled, it wasn't. Poor fish went through the works, high amonia, nitrite spikes, etc. Finally got it level and then Gonzo died a...
