Hi all! Wth several replies I'll do a group 'thanks' for all of you. BioSpira it is. I would not have remembered the name of brands very well. I got my first fish (goldfish) when I was 12. It was still alive when I was 27 (gifted to a friend when I was 23 and joined the Navy 24 years ago)....

I have a 65 gal tank with Ehiem Pro filter. The water was crystal clear until I had to move the aquarium to a new house. Each month I would replace the very top filter and charcoal pad. Each week I vacuum the gravel and remove nearly one third the water and replace. Everything was fine for 3-4...

I have two common goldfish for more than 4 years. Please check the following links and help me identify what's wrong with them: 1) One of them has nubs on tail: http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tailtb4.jpg 2) The same one has patches on both...

My wife swears up and down that our goldfish Mika-chan (currently about 2 1/2" long) and Hoshi (currently about 4 1/2" long) have grown noticeably since we got them (Aug 19 for Mika-chan, Sep 1 for Hoshi). I don't see it myself. Is it reasonable to expect Goldfisn in that size range to...

Hoshi is missing a couple of scales. This isn't anything new, its just that I've generally had other stuff to worry about so I haven't brought it up before. Question is, do lost scales (due to injury or whatever) grow back or will that always be a "gap" in his armor? -- David L. Burkhead ...

What I've got: - Morton "Solar Salt" -Antibiotic ointment. - Two 18 gallon rubbermaid tubs extra airstone & extra air pump. The tubs have a scratched line at the 10 gal level which is to where I generally fill when using them (makes it easy to control medication/salt dosages)

I read ( a while ago ) on a goldfish keeper's website, that finely chopped lettuce is a good alternative to the regular *flake* type food. I tried it tonight & every tiny piece of lettuce was consumed within seconds ! Any advice about sensible goldfish feeding would be GREATLY appreciated !!!

But why? The fish was a fairly standard goldfish with a nice comet type tail. It was about two years old and shared an 18x12x12 tank with 5 Whitecloud. I've been feeding with Tetrafin. The goldfish "jerome" has never exhibited any disease symptoms, no whitespot, no finrot, no slime...

Just been looking over old posts ( here ). It appears that there was a *Zebulon* here, long time ago. Sorry, friend ....... I have not attempted to steal your thunder. I post as *Zebulon Whateley* .... 'cos it's an old, old character name from one of my favourite OLD movies. Purely a...

The packs that I've seen on sale come in different sizes & look like small, white bricks .... although some are circular / coin shaped. It seems that the sizes depend upon how long you are away from the tank, unable to feed the fish. When you live far from family & friends .... & cannot rely...

My tank has been cycling for some time now and it looks like I'm finally in the home stretch--ammonia down to zero, Nitrite having recently dropped from 2 ppm to 0.5 ppm--but things seem to be stalled there. It's been 12 days since ammonia dropped to zero and five since nitrite dropped from 2 to...

OK, its been a week since my last update. To briefly recap, one of my goldfish ("goldie", a fantail) got a very bad case of pop-eye around mid-august. A severe case of dropsy appeared overnight in early September. See past posts for more details. She has now been put back in the...

Have had three large green spider plant babies in the freshwater aquarium for 3.5 weeks and they are very green and growing. Does anyone know how much longer they will last completely submerged like they are? There is also a common vine cutting with heart shaped leaves that seems to be doing well...
