Hi, I'm Lisa from Trinidad (Caribbean) and love fishes and thats about the only thing i know about them LOL. I presently have 2 orandas. My tank is simple with a filter and an air pump. Been doing so researching and I DIDN'T know there is so much to know. Can someone please help me get a jump start into the wonderful world of fishes?

That should be decent for your orandas.

What filtration do you have?

Welcome to AC ic1angel, I am sure you will enjoy it here!
That tank should be just about right for 2 goldfish, but most likely not much of anything else. Goldfish get quite large and are considered messy fish so you need the room just for them. How big are they now?

I know where you're coming from! I used to think you just put the water in, turn on the filter an BAM it all works. Well you are in the right place, everyone here is so helpful! Welcome!
