?????????????

I have green algae growing on a synthetic log that has been in my tank for about three years. Recently, I have noticed a white growth that grows over the algae. Can anyone point me in the right direction for steps on identifying this growth, and whether or not it is harmful? Thanks -

I have about 6 large fancy Goldfish in a 40 gallon tank with undergravel filter, top filter, plenty of air, etc. They have been together for about 4 years and have no problems, just keep up on maintenance and add a snail or two for cleaning every now and then. Recently one of the largest GF has...

Hi all, I'm new to the goldfish hobby. Bought a 10 gallon starter aquarium 3 months ago with one black moor and two other small fish. All has been fine until today. The moor is moving very little, mostly floating belly up at the surface. One eye has turned cloudy and the body has some...

What happened to the puregold website? I see to get a message saying that they did not authorize any advertising? Thanks

I have an 82 gal tank dedicated to a variety of goldfish and plants. There's some fancy goldfish in there (Orange cap Oranda, black Telescope, celestial, Bubble eye - all about 4"-5" from nose to tip of tail) and some plain old comet feeders that I've had for just over a year and a half and are now...

Do comets, or any other fish for that matter, care if the tank light is left on all the time??? thx - Craig

For the last two years I've changed out my 10-gal tank weekly, using 2 gallons of dechlorinated tap water to which I've added a measuring teaspoon (seems smaller than a table teaspoon) of aquarium salt and then aged for a week. The salt seems to have warded off common fish diseases and my few...

I've been keeping orandas and ryukins for about 7 years now quite successfully until recently. I got four new fish and within afew days there was a velvet outbreak. I treated this successfully, then white spot broke out. This cleared up and the velvet appeared again. Once again I got rid of the...

Cleaned his tank, (it needed it!) and have restricted his diet as nippyfish suggested.... Noted today that the belly swelling, while not totally gone, is way down! He's also more active as well and is begging more than ever. G He seems to be feeling better as well as looking better. Thank you...

One of my Goldfish that i have has a problem and i hope someone can tell me whats wrong with it...the Goldfish is about Seven years Old---about Four inches long----The problem is he is not swimming all he is doing now is Rolling around in the Tank---He seems like he want to eat but he cant"t make...

hey all, I wonder if someone could help or point me in the right direction: I've got a clean 10 gallon tank with a 1/2 dozen fish and 2 silver dollars. My old one (about 8 years) just started swimming nose up. It's like his air bladder is messed up. He can't level out. He seems fine otherwise,...

I currently have 1 4" inch comet housed in a 10 Gallon tank. I have a air driven corner filter. (I change the water every week, water quality has been excellent) I want to add at least 1 other fish, and get a larger tank - either a 20 or 29 gallon. I have a few questions. 1) Can I get a fancy...

Is there a recommended type of algae eater that is okay to mix with fancy goldfish? I have two red-cap orandas and three lionheads. After only a couple of days, I have a lot of algae on the glass (direct sunlight). FYI: I cannot move the tank, and the chemical balance is excellent. Thanks for...

Do you find that tank-housed orandas (not outside in a pond) grow faster during summer months, or do growth rates depend on other factors? n

moved my 20g tank w/2 coments to a location I thought would be ok. algae started almost immediately. are the chemicals sold to treat tank algae safe/work? was also considering an algae eater....would large comets attack another non GF in the tank? I can scrub the stuff away easy enough. Never...

After a nasty bout with septicemia, and the fact that I'm leaving the country for two months so the care of my 30 gallon tank will be left to someone else (responsible, but not that into goldfish) I'm contemplating a UV Sterilizer for my tank. It's got 2 goldfish in it. I currently have an...

hey is it ok to feed my goldies with green broad beans when there's no green peas lying around the house??!?

Just saw a website that states that the Panda Oranda is actually an oranda that is going from all black to white or gold! What say you? Breeders are charging DOUBLE for these orandas than for normal colors! Also, will most orandas change to all orange after they mature, or will some retain white...

"Rescued" two orandas from LFS; nice sized fish kept in overcrowded conditions. They have a fungal infection which I hope to cure. One black, one multi-colored. Both improved immediately upon being placed in clean water (6 days ago). Using Maracyn for Fungus; CopperSafe...
