I had posted about my big oranda and how he had been either sitting on the
bottom, or hovering up at the top of the tank.  I took him out and put him
in a 6 gallon tank for 5 days, changing the water every day, all water
treated with CopperSafe.  He was just fine, and got put back ...

Are Goldfish best left alone in a tank or are there any other varieties I
can mix with them.
we have a tank which holds 54litres of water, we also have air pump, filter.
(also a light and heater which is not currently used).

Never mind Goldfish, here is something more interesting.
Jesus Christ is a False Messiah
According to Jesus' admissions, as well as the Bible's prophecies,
Jesus of Nazareth could not have been the Messiah.  This of course,

I notice a little worm, probably no less than
5mm and no bigger than 8mm, and quite thin in the
tank, at first I thought it was plant debris
from the stems or the root, but then I noticed it

I have a tank, 70 liters, which is around 4 weeks old now.  I believe
the tank is cycled now, all tests return good results.  3 fish in the
tank, a fantail, comet goldfish and a shubunkin.  Yes I mixed the

   First off I'd like to introduce myself.My name is Andrew and I have been
keeping goldfish and tropical fish for a little over a year now.I finally
got around to setting up my news reader and emmediately found groups
regarding fishkeeping among others interests.

We have some friends that moved into a house where the owners were
moving several thousand kilometres away, so they didn't take their
fish with them. We've never raised goldfish before, but we didn't want
the fish to die, and we certainly liked the idea of having a tank.

Is it normal that the goldfish is resting, don't move at all, for about
1-2min ?
It is not sitting at the bottom, just stand there in the water.

I really need some advice.  I have a small pond, in my garden which until this
summer housed 4 goldfish.  I now have the same adult goldfish plus an excess of
10+ small fish!  They range in size from 2cm to 5cm.  Is there anything I can
do to help them survive through the winter, as ...

My sons have a tank with two gold fish.  One is a calico fantail and the
other is a blackfish with bulging eyes (we can't remember the name)  The
calico is doing just fine.  The black fish seems to be have problems every
time it poops.  It takes forever to complete the task.  It ...

I need some help with my goldfish bowl.  I have a two gallon bowl with
one common goldfish (about an inch and a half).  I was wondering if it
is a good idea to add a cory cat to the bowl.
I currently do not have a filter and was also wondering if anybody

Anyone have experience with orandas and how long it takes them to
develop the membranes on their heads?  I've read that usually by the
time they're 3" or so they should start to develop.  Also, are there
foods that would help it grow?

Anyone in this news group in the DFW area? Fort Worth to be more exact? I just
got a 55 gallon and wanna do Ranchus, problem is I cannot find any LFS that
sell these guys. Feel free to email me, jusy remove "nojunk" to do so.    Cary
