Hi, I'm thinking about trying a tank with gold fish in it for the first
time. I dont want to buy some gigantic aquarium or anything, I was thinking
about trying to find something acrylic in the 10 to 20 gallon range. Would
this be a good enviroment for goldfish? How about fancy goldfish or koi?
What kind filtration system should I be looking at? I've heard that goldfish
produce a lot of waste so I want to make sure I get a good filter in place.
Is an undergravel filter adequate? How about one of those biowheel under the
hood things? What kind of fish gravel should I be looking at? Should I get a
sucker fish to put in there with them? I want to make sure I get a setup
that can meet the needs of the fish and that they wont outgrow. Any
information would be great thanks.

What you should do, newyguy, is buy yourself a nice big property about
the size of a regular dam catchment area, make sure it is replete with
non-toxic spring-fed streams, in an area where goldfish or koi or any
other sort of carp are native, and go from there.

Imprisoning any type of animals should be a criminal offense. Flushing
them down the toxic sewer system is even worse. Cruelty to animals is
no different from cruelty to any living creature, full stop.

Only ****en weirdos get a buzz out of imprisoning free creatures and
perving on them day in, day out.
