Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / December 2004Low tech way to keep goldfish
After more than 7 years keeping goldfish, it all comes down to this: water change and sponge filters. You can put two goldfish in a 20 gallon long tank plus a Marineland powersponge filter (or a air driven large sponge). Cheange 50% water per week (use the snake for water change, easy task) and you are all set. Forget about all the stuffs pet stores trying to sell you to make them rich. > After more than 7 years keeping goldfish, it all comes down to this: water > change and sponge filters.

Sponge filters work very well. Have to agree. hi....you could probably get away with less water changes for goldfish....but as already mentioned the lfs like you to spend money even when its not necessary. people often think that goldfish only grow a couple of inches or so.....would be interested to find out how big people have actually seen them..:) http://www.cichlidfish.com/portal/forums True! I can get away with less water change. But consider there are 5 big goldfish in a 40 gallon tank. > hi....you could probably get away with less water changes for > goldfish....but as already mentioned the lfs like you to spend money [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Posted via CichlidFish.com > http://www.cichlidfish.com/portal/forums ive seen goldfish at 12 " - 16", growing in a 2 acre carp pond (for fishing) they fed off the floating pellets the wild bred carp wouldnt touch and avoided the hook baits. Was very scary, sat fishing and seeing theses 12" orange things glisten past. I agree on the fish store gouging too, they once tried to sell me an external power filter for a guppy breeding tank. bless 'em http://www.cichlidfish.com/portal/forums |
