Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / October 2003

I've finally got some aquatic plants established in my tank that are growing
and able to survive the goldfish.  My goldfish are still under 3 to 4 inches
but they love to rip up tender plants.
I have pea gravel in the tank.  The fish are getting bigger now and I've

The wifes fish , which has had swim bladder problems early on its life with

At the time on its last water change we presumed it was gaining weight as it
has always been a little on the sickly side, compaired to mine ( they were

I'm a newbie goldfish keeper. Where are the best places to find Oranda
and other fancy goldfish in Los Angeles?

Can anyone give me contact information for good quality gf pellets?
I am about to empty a six year old bag.
Yes, they've been in the fridge.
Cheers,

Bought a bio-orb a few weeks ago, just got a couple of newbie ish questions!
i've flicked thro here (after i bought it) and found people dont like the
bio-orbs, why is that? whats the difference between that and say a 35liter
normal tank?

I know it's been posted before, but I didn't need it at the time....
somewhere there is a page that shows how many gallons in a tank of a certain
size? I've been given an old tank and have no idea how much it holds, just
that it's bigger than what I've got.

I would like to know what kind and what wattage 4 foot fluorescent tubes
too use on my 75 gal. freshwater tank that I`m in the process of setting
up. There will be no live plants. TIA, Bud

I'm new to goldfish-keeping (experience of about 6-8 weeks, and a lot of
reading before that!) and would appreciate some advice on what may be wrong
with one of my fish.
First the background:

I've gone into question overload - sorry for this.
I know nothing about corals at all. Can they be kept with
Golfish? If so I'll do some researching, if not, I'll not bother.

LOL.  I couldn't resist the title.
When I purchased my last fantail, I got 2 tiny fry in the bag as well.  I
lost one, and I think the fantail got it.  They were separate for a while
since I put salt and Melafix in the tank with the new fish, but then I put

I remember a long time ago, when I was a child, we had fish and didn't do just
partial water changes.  It was the whole works.  Net the fish, put them in a
temporary vase, dump the contents of the aquarium in the tub, rinse the rocks
and scrub the sides of the tank.

What could be growing on my tank rocks and ceramic decorations that is
yellow-brown in color, rather like French's yellow mustard when it has
dried?  I thought algae was supposed to be green.

can goldfish get along with snails.  I have two gf in a 20 gallon tank.
