That was the deal. Crystal clear water all the time now. Big gold fish need a big filter. Water changes are easier to. Stick the hose out the window. That pump will drain the tank in less than 5...

I think your right. When the lab gets all territorial. The other fish just stay on the other side of the log. If it sees them it moves toward them. If they move just out of sight around the corner....

Yea the one I had killed most of my last batch. The yellow lab got it in the end I think. My blue cobalt didn't do it. It is a sissy, run and hide. The lab is definitely dominant now.
