I have had my tank set up for a year now. A 20 gallon long with two orandas. They are happy and thriving. A few weeks ago my filter failed for two days. I cleaned the water each day and still don't...

ok I think I can take the filter out and put it in the new one- not a perfect fit but should work.

The new filter is so gigantic that I am wondering... do two smaller ones equal the power of one...

so should I put the new filter on the old tank. Let it run for a while then transfer both over to the new one or should I set up the new one with both filters- old and new- and put the fish in with...

I have a 10 gallon and just bought a 20 gallon long. I have a small fancy goldfish ( 2 inch) an Oranda ( 4 inch) and an algae cleaning fish. I know the 20 still isn't optimal for the fish but it's...

I found one at a local shop $79.99 20 gallon long with a hood light. I am so excited! A little nervous though about transferring everyone over to it. I may wait a few days until my oranda gets used...

thanks! I can't seem to find the 20L still looking though!

I have a 10 gallon tank and am upgrading to a 15. Not much of a jump, I know, but all I can do right now. I may go to a 20 if I can find a 20 long that's a good deal.
My question is, if I am using...

The black moor didn't make it. Of course it was the one my five year old picked out and named. we just had a funeral for it.

update on the fish adventure. All three have been doing great until today. The black Moor who is the sensitive one is acting funky. possibly a nitrate problem? Hanging out on the bottom of the tank...

Ok great. Thank you!:goldfish:

I am feeding them once a day- about 1/2 what my instincts tell me to feed them. It is a small amount - so subjective but a small pinch. There is no leftover food in the tank. they snack on plants...

I was flung into a situation- 3 goldfish, 14 gallon tank, unemployed at the moment. I am doing my best to keep the fish happy and healthy and they seem to be doing very well. I plan on upgrading the...

great ideas thank you. I have one male betta- my 1 year old one died two days ago- the one I have now is in a tank next to the goldfish and is enjoying having new neighbors!

I called the guy to complain about what he did and he once again said 1 gallon for each fish. I just don't get it. When I told him I was considering returning the fish, just to see what he would...

So, I looked on Craigslist- that was a fabulous suggestion- thanks so much. There were a lot of great deals there. But, I freaked out at about 8:30PM and drove to petco and bought a 14 gallon kit. I...

yes a privately owned store that seemed very nice. I went to Petco to look and saw all the signs of unhealthy fish. went home and looked for a reputable shop online and then drove to it.

I am so...

thanks smaug I was just about to go read the link from your other post

thanks for identifying them for me.

also, thanks for the betta condolences. I feel so bad about losing him. All that time right next to my desk- I really tried to save him. For a few days there...

I am not afraid of the upkeep and really am already growing fond of the fish so I will try to keep them and get a big tank tomorrow. I am a hard core animal lover and don't give up easily. Once they...

I don't even know what type of goldfish they are. I am a very dedicated pet owner so want to do what is best. Two days ago I lost a betta fish I had for over a year. He was my first fish and I felt...

holy crap. Ok. I'll have to go buy one tomorrow. I am so mad at the owner of that store. really, did he need to make $16 so badly that he'd do this? I certainly won't be buying the bigger tank from...

also has a small whisper filter and a paddle heater.

I went to a local aquarium shop today to purchase goldfish for my 3.5 gallon tank. I told the guy who owned the place I had a really small tank- 3.5 gallon and asked what type of fish I could put in...
