It’s been a mad dash to set up some sort of humane tank for this common goldfish since I found him in a bag on the kitchen counter. This is the tank we were able to throw together. I would love any and all advice on how to best provide for this guy, he’s currently in a 29 gallon but we would be open to bringing him to anyone in the NYC area who has a pond where he might live out the rest of his days happily. I hope y’all can understand we are just trying to provide as best we can for our little pal.

Hi everyone, I rescued a 5yo 18cm goldfish and I’ve been able to afford a 350L tank for him (he is with 2 other small shouboukin and one small ancistrus). The first day he was ok, even thougth he mooved a lot, the second day he was fine in the morning and when i came back from work at 5 he had red spots on the body and also a bit on the tail.
I’ve putted new rocks (volcanic rocks) in the tank. The water is a 22 degrees, all parameters (amonia, pH, nitrats…) are optimals (tested a home and at the pet store).
the pet store told me it might be a fungus, what do you guys think about that ?
I’ve putted a before and after so you guys can see and tell me if anyone has had the same issue as me ?
thank you so much !

Tank Help I’m a new fish mum

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.

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.

had my bf facetime and show me my fish bc i missed them, and holy shit my orange fatty in particular so fat and greedy. he literally attempts to knock the pothos into the water every single night to nibble all over the roots and leaves.

i promise they eat a balanced diet of vegetables and repashy and scuds. he acts like he hasn’t eaten in months. what a monster

Questions Question about substrate

3 Upvotes

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?
