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.


This coming from the biggest weirdo out there?

Leave the people with harmless hobbys alone, best ta chill wit ya kiwi than
stew in court.
