Suggestions Welcome"except For The G Fish Replacement"

Agreed with the above, the background is so busy I'm struggling to see the real fish

goldies can tolerate higher tempratures and every body says they wont grow any bigger than they need to to the size of the tank but IMO if it gets to big be prepared to give it to someone else

First off, who is saying they like tropical temperatures? Yes, they may be able to tolerate it. These are semi-tropical animals, that have gone through a process of micro-evolution and many years of adaption to love and thrive in the waters they are born in. This is similar to Betta fish, they can live in room temperature, but do you think they like it? The tank size is about 19 USG, so that isn't horrible. I would be more upset about keeping my fish in an environment they are probably dreading...

When a tank is too small, then fish won't grow properly due to lack of room. Picture you being locked up in a cupboard all your life, you probably wouldn't be very big either. This is definitely not a good thing, and many negative side effects accompany stuff like this. I am going to say that its okay that they don't grow due to stunting...

I was always told that it's not that amount of airbubles in the water that provides oxygen to the tank, it's the amount of surface movement of the water.

If the pump is too strong and your fish can't swim with the current then turn it down (if you can) or buy a spray bar so that the surface water moves sufficiently to oxygenate the water.
You could just experiment with the strength of the current, turn it right down and if the fish starts to hang about at the top of the water gasping then there is not enough oxygen and you know the answer to your question.

Your aquarium is very bright. but I kinda like it!!!!!

Can I ask why you have such a bright background? Do you not think it detracts from the fish you have in the tank?

Actually to be very frank i also dont like the background, i want to replace it for a good one. as the full tank cleaning is scheduled on this coming monday. I will sure replace the wallpaper. for a more, realistic one .
