I don't post much here, but I have a question. How much of a temp fluctuation is too much? Lately with spring we have had the windows open a lot. Because of...
Last summer I had fluctuations of at least that much and it didn't seem to harm them. What DID stress them out completely was when I moved them to another room...
I have read that anything more than 2 degrees per day stresses the fish....I
live in a drafty old house, and I guarantee the temp fluctuates tremendously...
Thanks for the responses everyone. They seem to be acting fine, I was just worried about them having problems. I even considered moving them downstairs (we...
I think the 68 would be really great for goldfish, they like the water to be
cooler. I notice when mine gets up in the 70's mine get a little off their
feed...
This fish is not old and is a single fish growing fast. I try not too feed it much but I caught it with a half eaten ghost shrimp in it's mouth. We have had 7...
My personal suggestion, and may not be the most popular, is to feed the fish
more. It sounds like you have a big enough tank. If the fish is hungry, it
is...
My sentiments exactly, I was just wordier:-) ... From: goldfishlovers@yahoogroups.com Date: 04/18/05 12:43:38 To: goldfishlovers@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re:...
Just someone who joined a group trying to learn more about a hobby. I realize this is nature that everything eats something. The shrimp had been with goldfish...
Sorry if we seemed a little unfeeling there; always glad to have someone
new come in and ask questions. I felt really bad about losing my ghost
shrimp....
Welcome to the list. I don't have any experience with keeping ghost shrimp, but I do know that they can easily become food for many fish, not just goldfish....
... Fancy, We prefer the fancy over the common. It also seemed they had a calmer disposition than common. I don't remember how we got it but we had a red cap...
As an alternative to ghost shrimp, you might try Ammanos: they are larger-- up to 2 inches, though 1 to 1 and a half is more common-- and favor the cooler...
Hey everyone, Happy Tuesday! I miss my little ghost shrimp, they were a lot
of fun to watch. I liked the way they swarmed out of the bamboo plants when
I...
Ive had goldfish ever since I was 2 years old and my parents gave me $1 to spend on any game at the fair. LOL yep you guessed it. The goldfish game, ten balls...
I saw an article on line on how to make sponge filters at home, has anyone ever done this before?? Im very frustrated with my back mounted ones that just dont...
Welcome, Shokara, I have never tried to make my own tanks, but I do use Rubbermaid tubs to over winter my pond fish. They do a great job and are quite...
Amy, I have had pretty good luck with back mounted filters. I try to have the capacity to turn the water over 10 times per hour. I haven't tried to make...
Re:{P Ponds & Tanks Why not get another tank say a 29H and put a couple of the fish in it? If you have a cast iron stand you could put it under the 55 gallon....
Hi Shokara; Hey, my golds are on top of each other too in my 29 gallon tank....the only
good thing about that is they have never known anything else, so I...
I was thinking about getting one of those and putting it out on my small deck. But what im nto sure of is just how much wieght my deck can hold. What I would...
I have two high capasity back mounted filters on my tank and it just isnt doing enough. Granted I REALLY need to put them into a bigger tank (its a 59/60 gal)...
My current set up in my room is this A 59/60 gal which is LITTERLY sitting on cender blocks and two by fours (its actuly EXTREAMLY sturdy). In addition to...
Does anyone else have a pl*co who likes to redorate over night?? I used to have oscars and they always did this. Buy my Pl*co isnt even very big! hes only...
Hi, Your pleco is probably looking for tidbits of food under the ornaments. Common plecos usually become more carnivorous as they age, so they sometimes take a...
Hi Amy; You know, one of the things about filters I learned from this site is you
can take quilt batting (I get it at Walmart in the craft section, about $3
00...
One is a top fin and the other is a pinguine. The top fin takes 2 C size and the pingine (however you spell it!) takes 4 cartrages (it can work with just two...
