    Nitrites In Goldfish Tank

    I actually have two filters that hang on the back. One is for a 20gal and one for a 45 gall. Thanks for the info. I will test tap water as the tank still has high nitrites.

    Goldfish Companion

    I've seen a lot of goldfish but he is the most beautiful I've ever seen. I'm sorry though I don't have a camera. Thanks for the suggestions of tank mates. Thank you for the suggestions - I think I will get a snail and some loaches - if I can find a couple at my local pet smart.

    Goldfish Companion

    I have a 55 gal tank with a 10inch Oranda that is about 9 years old. -I've had him a very long time. Everytime I try to put a younger, smaller goldfish in with him, they nibble at him or nibble the ends of his tail - it is very very long. He doesn't swim very fast at all - (age, length of fins?)...

    Water Current

    Last night I used the water current killer and they all came out of hiding within about five minutes and were all eating normally again. So I guess it was the water current being too strong. The water temp stays between 68 and 70. I like my house very cold in the summer.

    Anyone Else Here Keeping Na Natives?

    I caught some shiner minnows and I keep them with my goldfish. They seem to like a lot of floating grass to hide under and they like flake food as well as fast moving water and they prefer it cold. At least, this is what it seems like to me. I havn't ever kept the Sunfish - I caught one and...

    Thanks, will it keep the water clean enough though? I haven't figured out how to cut the flow down on the external.

    Wonder Shells

    Sorry about the inaccurate link. The reason I was considering them is that I have a 55gal tank with 4 goldfish that I have had for about 9 years. A couple of weeks ago my fish started dying. I tried water changes and cleaning gravel - which I've always done on a weekly basis, but the nitrates...
