Orandas, Ryukins or any other round-bodied goldfish (fancy goldfish) will be OK with two of them in a 55G as long as there is weekly tank maintenance done.
Long-bodied goldfish like Comets, Commons, Shubunkins, Wakins, Jikins (and any other newer long-bodied varieties that may have popped up from cross-breeding) need REALLY BIG TANKS or preferably should […]
Read over them two links I posted earlier with the FAQ’s and Troubleshooting and you’ll find out much more directly from the horses mouth.. as opposed to the end that I sometimes represent. LOL Yeah.. I know some will say that I often represent that other end. LOL

I hear Mardel’s MaraWin will cure Winrot… maybe a 30 minute dip in a 0.3% salt solution would work too… at least at making sure you have to get a new computer.
I never heard of Winrot before either but I’ve never tried keeping a machine around that long either. I usually upgrade every […]
Deb, I sent you a reply to this earlier this morning. It has not been seen by me in my emails (I’m assuming you haven’t received it as email either), but can be found on the Group-site, in the Archives as message # 35240; you should be able to find […]
Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
From what I’ve read on algae build up (as long as it’s the good algae build up which is greenish/brown) any amount of it is good, as it does the same thing your live plants would do when they clean the water by removing fish waste and all that. My betta […]
All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.

I’ve been wondering why you have been waiting for the water people to reply.. The company or town department that supplies the water should have a web site, and on that web site should be the latest report available for public consumption that will tell you whether chloramines are used and a lot of other […]
Your biological media should be placed after the mechanical media that removes debris from the water. Placing it before the mechanical media means that it will be also doing part of the job of that media, as well as the biological filtration, and thus need to be cleaned often. If you are using chemical filtration […]
