Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello all,
I'm new. I have an approximately 10 gallon tank with a single common "feeder" goldfish (he or she is approximately an inch long and was gifted to me unexpectedly). I do plan to upgrade said fish (named Lucky by my five year old) to a large pond filled with other common goldfish at my parents house - but its winter and I don't want to shock the poor fellow so said fish has got to wait in my 10 gallon until the weather warms up. I'm hoping once he or she is transferred then I can get some fiddler crabs or african drawf frogs into the tank instead. More about my tank? I have a penguin biowheel model 150 filter - purchased to keep up with the goldfish bio load so the poor guy can at least have a decent water quality while we wait for summer. I'm not sure what type of tank I have due to it being donated to me. Basically just looking at general advice on keeping said goldfish alive until summer, transporting him an hour to my parents, and then getting new creatures that will actually be happy in a 10 gallon. I'm considering more of crabs or frogs due to it being a small tank but I also am wanting to get a larger tank at some point so I get fish. So basically general advice.
