There is a plant floating, cause the big white Oranda Goldfish keeps biting it!

I ordered a piece of driftwood that I'm gonna use as my center piece and I'm also waiting for my cool blue air stone. Those two pieces should add a new dimension to the tank :19:

Overall everything seems to be alright up to now.

that tank looks pretty neat, i like it. Just watch out for climbing nitrates with that stock of fish in that small a tank.

Looks good. The driftwood will be awesome. Might need a bigger tank very soon thougfh. Those goldies will grow a little...

looks nice, but those fish will need a bigger tank very soon. each one is going to get like 10 inches long or more. For that many goldfish I would reckomend at the very least a 55gal tank, 75 being better though. Keep an eye on your ammonia and nitrates, they will raise quickly in that tank. How long has it been cycled? If you didn't cycle it then unfortunately those fish probably won't last long.

Nice tank, and healthy looking goldfish, though it looks like the goldfish will outgrow your tank eventually.

The tank finished cycling about 2 weeks ago. The ammonia is currently at 0 as well as the nitrite, and the nitrate is about 30.

We were using a 10 gallon tank with 3 goldfish, then my sister got the 29 gallon tank that we are currently using. But, you guys are right, i think I'm gonna have to upgrade to a 55 or a 75 gallon tank.
