Information About How To Start A New Aquarium
I have a 15 X 12 X 18 tank, I have got Air Pump with air stone and other equipments.
I am planning to keep 2 goldfish in it. Can anyone guide me how to setup the tank.

Before you are told how to set up the tank you need to be told it is nowhere near big enough for even one goldfish.
If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?

I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.

++1 - goldfish grow to a minimum of 6 inches (common goldfish grow to over a foot) - a tank that size isn't appropriate - they all start off small!
46 gal fw tank with black skirt tetras, neon tetras, spotted cory catfish, cherry barbs, guppies, snails & 4 amano shrimp - plastic & live plants
5 gal QT with green corys & 2 guppies

That will do it. Now if you have not read the link, that Mommy1 provided you please do so.

Wow, that doesn't happen very often, good for you. You don't have the goldfish, correct? Read this, it will help; http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
If there is already fish in the tank then read this and please don't add anymore until the tank is cycled;http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=36492If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
