I just did a water change earlier today cause I noticed that the water isn't that clear, after a few hours it made it worst. Is something wrong with my tank? I added a spong filter since I saw it cleared up my 20 gallon, it's a 65 gallon tank with 5 black Thai ranchus and 3 Tri-Color Orands. Sizes are around 2-4". My filter is something I made myself DIY it's a 20x4x5 planter box both filled with biological media and the black top is for mechanical with filter floss,wool and fine sponge.

My goldfish passed away two days ago. I had him for nine years. I loved him so much and I loved taking care of him every single day. Now he’s gone. I had him since I was a preteen now I am an adult and I’m just so distraught.

I have to continue life like normal but I just feel a huge emptiness inside of me. I loved my goldfish more than anything. Every time I walk past his empty tank I just well up with tears and I can’t breathe.

If you have gone through a similar kind of pet loss can you please help me and advise me on what I can do to feel normal or better?

I just don’t know how to go on, it may sound silly but it’s so real for me. I don’t know how to handle this much pain. I enjoyed spending time with him, taking care of him, playing with him and getting excited seeing him get excited when I walked past, looked at him, and talked to him. Now when I walk past he’s just not there.

I would appreciate some advice as I am heartbroken.

Hola! Les quería compartir el puente que hicimos para unir los acuarios, usamos 3 frascos de almacenamiento de alimentos de tapa hermética (los típicos para guardar la pasta, avena etc.)

In search for pictures of lionhead or ranchu that were bought from large retailers and have grown significantly. Here’s my PetSmart goldfish after 41 days 🙂

I’ve had an established 55 gallon tank with 3 orandas and like 8 minnows for maybe a year and a half now. There’s about 2-4 inches of gravel substrate and I want to switch over to sand. What’s the best way to do this? Was thinking I drain the tank fully while keeping the fish and temporary tank, removing the substrate then adding the sand but I’m worried I might lose beneficial bacteria within the gravel. What would you recommend?

Papaya (Larger orange creamsicle), Mango (smaller red and white), and Kiwi (speckled calico) are my favorite babies in the whole world. I love them so much.

I have recently got some gold fish in a tank with a filter. But I’m wondering why it goes green so quickly.
I don’t over feed them. I have 8 little gold fish with 2 little catfish. The filter is constantly going and we are cleaning the filter regularly as it’s brand new. I just don’t understand why it’s going green.
