My new tank...Please help
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me. I got a handme down tank last night. Its a 12 gallon tank. I have a very small tank right now with one plain goldfish in it. The person who gave me the 12 gallon tank had lots of problems with ick and fish dying and lots of algae. Last night I cleaned out the tank and replaced it with new gravel and 3 tank decorations and a live plant. When can I safely make the switch for my 1 gold fish? My son wants to put the fish in tonight. Should we wait? Plus even though I cleaned out the tank thourly should I still be worried about diseases. I have had my 1 goldfish for 4 years. My son won him at a fair. he'll be upset if we lose the goldfish. Plus what other fish can he be paired with? Any type of goldfish or should we stick to the non fancy golfish variety? Thanks alot
