This morning I went to check something on the old PureGold site http://puregold.aquaria.net/ and I find advertising. A quick call to him confirms he has sold space on the site without my knowledge or consent. I have no idea how long this has been going on. I am absolutely inflamed, ****ed and...

We just got an Oranda a few days ago. I have another goldfish with him, along with a dojo loach. The fantail swims around all areas of the tank. The oranda goes to the top and stays there for a while, and it looks like he is "blowing bubbles". Probably just gulping air, I am not sure. Is this...

"blove" provided this link about the New Tank Syndrome: http://fins.actwin.com/mirror/begin-cycling.html It is about time an article like the above ( or the articles at http://freshaquarium.about.com/od/aquariumstartup/ ) be included with ALL fish tank kits. I purchased a 10 gallon kit for $30...

Before I came here, I'd never heard of the practice of feeding cooked shelled peas to fish. ;-) What is the purpose of this please? What does it do for them? I will also be googling for this, but I'd like some input from the group as well. Are canned peas ok? I know that regular canned peas are...

Hi everyone! Can someone please tell me what is the best way to increase my KH (its way below 120ppm) without disturbing the ph. Id like to keep the ph very stable at around 7.0-7.4 while fishless cycling the tank is 750L (198gal) Thankyou for your suggestions ;-) Ves

Hi all. I have a few questions....I have two fish in a 28 gallon aquarium. One fish, the fantail, is acting fine and the other one that we just got(oranda) is not. The oranda from the very beginning(I know I should have put her in the hospital tank) has been on the bottom. I see not outward...

Hi! Is a large kids wading pool ok for keeping goldfish in while im cycling the tank?? Thanks!

Wow, I just joined this forum yesterday....is there another forum where people are friendly? Everyone seems to be arguing, and putting each other down? I thought forums were friendly........... Thanks, Cecileew

I just recently lost one of my orandas. I had him for about 8 months. He was quite normal until about 3-4 days before he died. Symptoms were that he just sat on the bottom, then would kind of lean to the side. He would be like this in the morning, but would then begon to swim around reasonably...

I was cleaning my gold fish tank with my big python tube and I turned my head for a second and my fat shubunkin got sucked into the tube. I finally was able to shake him out, but he looked a little dazed. Has anyone done this before? Will he be okay? What a bad fish mommy I am. Sarah

We've purchased a tank some 4 weeks ago and settled 2 Blue Orandas in after a week. They have been quite happy. Now one of them has a very fine white 'fluffy' stuff on his scales and sits at the bottom of the tank and does nothing. The other fish is active. We've changed the water regularly...

Hi everyone! Like I said, I am a newbie and just started keeping fish. Thank you for all your help, my goldfish are doing fine thanks to your advice! I do have a concern. We purchased some java moss earlier, and it has been doing fine. We also purchased a piece of aquarium driftwood from...

Hi, I am a newbie to fishkeeping. I set up a tank about 3 weeks ago. It is a 29 gallon with two goldfish. My comet has been acting fine, but I noticed that he had white poop, and his tail(he is white) looks a little irritated(can see his veins a bit?). He is swimming normally, actively looking for...

I went to a local pet store (one of the major chains) and bought a Red Cap Oranda and an Orange Fantail recently. Goldfish: Red Cap Orandas retail for $2.99 Orange Fantails retail for $3.49 Feeder fish: Some retail for $0.12 each Others retail for $0.29 each

I saw a couple of posts lately where people are keeping Apple Snails with their GF. How big are the AS, do the GF nip their tentacles? AS seem to be one of the cleaner snails, any concerns about the Rat Lungworm parasite? Where do you get your stock, LFS? I'm in Canada BTW.
