Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / May 2004Seeding ? cleaned tank.
I've had my 4" fantail goldfish in a 30L hospital tank. He/she is now ready to go back home. - I've steam cleaned his/her home tank 100L and put 5L of the water from where he/she lives now to seed the tank. When can FatFish go home - He/she is bumping his head when a sprint is attempted. Present home is too small. Cheers Bolly > I've had my 4" fantail goldfish in a 30L hospital tank. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Cheers > Bolly My advice would be to constantly monitor ammona,nitrite and nitrates if you have cleaned his main tank. Using old water won't help a great deal in seeding the tank. Using a current filter and squeezing the 'juice' helps. Thanks for that Geezer. I've got a little Fluval 1 in the established hospital tank. Would it make sense to run it along with the bigger clean filter I have in the big tank for a few weeks? Last time I cleaned the 'hospital' filter in acqa water it was juicy enough. cheers Bolly > > I've had my 4" fantail goldfish in a 30L hospital tank. > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > tank. > Using a current filter and squeezing the 'juice' helps. > Thanks for that Geezer. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the big tank for a few weeks?

Don't want to transfer any nasties to the main tank. |
