Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / May 2005

My 100L tank has only one fantail goldfish (about 4"). I replace 30L of
water every 2 weeks and have 2 x Fluval plus 3 internal filters with a
strong air bubble feed.
For about 6 months the tank's had green water. I use King British Green

I have a big tail shubunkin with what I belive is an infection. It
started with the fish being overfed with puffed wheat - it then one
evening looked dead and lay like a banana on the bottom. But the next
morning it seemed completely recovered and fine again. Then over a

I'm leaving a 3 inch fish with relatives for a couple of weeks. I was
thinking of scooping him out of the aquarium and into a cheap plastic
bowl (the kind that pet shops often sell as starter kits). This would be
easier to do than hauling the big tank around.

I've been offered a new tank, much bigger than my current one (im currently
just below 10 gallons with one tiny goldfish, i believe the new tank is 30
or 40 gallons). Its not actually new, its one that a friends had lying about
for years somewhere. If I were to take this tank, ...

OK thanks for all your replies-  Most of you are saying no heater.
That's fine. I won't get a heater. But this still doesn't tell me why
one of my fish is just hanging out in the bottom of the cave ornament?
This has been going on for about a week. It just comes out to eat. It

I moved my tank to the only area available. too much light and algae
started overnight.   Is it ok to have some on the glass or are tanks
supposed to look totally spotless???
Just wondering how much I need to scrub off in order to see the fish!

I've got two average sized goldfish in one of those 60 litre Bio-Orb
goldfish bowls (I know, I know, don't shout at me for using a bowl)!
One is a Sarasa Comet, and the other is a Shubunkin.  I've had them both for
just over a year.  They get along fine, but the Shubunkin always ...

A few weeks back I accidentally cracked my existing fish tank. It wa
only quite a small one so I decided over the weekend to treat our fis
to a bigger and better tank. On Sunday I bought  an Elite System 3 tan
- it may not be a big aquarium but it's big enough for our 3 fish (1

Ok, this is not a troll... Seriously. I need some advice!
I felt so sorry for the Betta I got from Wal-mart, I appear to have
over-fed him. It took him 3 days with me to even start eating!
I posted about this awhile ago and did follow advice about cutting him

My almost 8 inches long gold fish is approaching the capacity of my
fish tank. Looking for a kind owner and a new home before she outgrows
the size of my tank. Ideal for someone with a garden or a large size
fish tank (60 gal +).

It jumped out of its tank and tried to rape me up my a.shole.
What should I do?

Any ideas on how to persuade a shubunkin on hungerstrike to start eating
again.  He's wasting away in front of us, and everything we offer him is
ignored.
He really looks terrible, and I wonder if he's gone to far and is too thin

I could not believe it, but two days ago my red capped oranda had a
black thing sticking out of his mouth, would go into a corner and stay
there for hours, spit some of the thing out, then suck it back in.  I
watched for a day or so, then decided he was really getting upset, so I ...
