When do goldfish become fully mature or become an adult?

OK, a dumb question - I have read that is a good thing to feed goldfish peas on occasion. I assume these are green garden peas. How do you prepare them for gf? Cooked or raw? Skinned or not? Whole or broken up? My gf aren't large (2 inches or so) and have no health problems that I know of - should...

Uh anyone familiar with Tetra GoldMedal? yeah thats rite, i bought their product a month ago, promised by Tetra that Tetra Gold Medal will help goldfish with their digestion n such, with spirulina n stuff like that ie. help prevent swimbladder disorders. But so far Tetra Gold hasn't proven to me...

Hi How much light (how many hours) should there be if ur GF tank doesn't have any real plants? And about elodias, I've seen them being kept in dark buckets in water for days and they were green as ever and grew longer. So i was wondering if elodias need light at all or what? JOHN.

Hi My oranda as some of you might know has swimbladder problems. I really think it's a genetic problem and cannot be cured because I have tried all that starving-it-for-3-days stuff and then feeding it boiled peas for the next 3 days (to let u know, i feed my orandas peas regularly). And anyway,...

I have a 50 gallon tank populated by two GF about 7"-8" long. I've recently moved into a situation where doing regular water changes has become a lot more inconvenient. My local fish supplies store advises me to replace my current Whisper 3 with a Eheim Ecco 2236, on the grounds that all that...

I have two tanks which I think should have a little 'headroom' to add a few more fish. Water parameters are excellent and I test and change water regularly. I am considering small danios and/or black skirt tetras. One tank has 3 aeneus(sp) cories, 2 ottos and 3 Buenos Aires tetras. The other has...

Hi I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advice please. I've had Dillon for about 5 years. He's just a normal goldfish with a fantail. He's in a 3ft tank (20gallons) on his own and I clean him regularly. For the last few days he seems to be spending a lot of time on the bottom of the...

I want to build a corral for my tank, so I can keep a few floating plants safe from the nibblers. I was considering removing one of the glass covers (24*18) and replacing it with a Plexiglas box (24*18*6) deep drilled with multiple holes. I would put one of the filter returns inside the box...

Dr Solo, What r the instructions for the chinese treatment for fish with swimbladder disorders? JOHN

do they make a good match in an aquarium?

Jo Ann Burke is the leading expert in the U.S. on health, diseases and treatment of Goldfish. Jo Ann asked me to remind people that while she has retired from selling GF (and sold the business to Ken Fischer http://dandyorandas.com/) she has NOT retired from helping people with sick GF and koi...

My daughter was bought a new 45 litre fish tank for her birthday. She has now re-housed her three gold fish - she has had these for a number of months/years. However, the new filter/ air pump is very very noisy indeed. Question is: will it harm the fish if this is turned off completely overnight? ...

Please let me know if gravel is really a high risk for the goldfish? I am preparing to setup up a 24x18x24 (45gal) tank and would like some more information about using an undergravel filter with gravel--pros and cons. I have an emperor 280 filter running on another tank that I plan to use in...

Anyone else have their GF react to what they're wearing? I'm probably anthropromorphizing (sp), but they always seem to scatter when I wear my bright red winter coat.
