goldfish sick

I knew what you were saying (teaspoon), I got a bottle of peroxide and will
start doing that tonight, he is still looking pretty good (goldfish), I
might have to start going back to their normal feeding schedule, he is
getting snippy with me, I was just figuring since I was having problems it
might help to cut back on the food, the goldfish and gourami do get fed more
then the rest, the guppies and bettas I don't feed as often. The pleco will
be going to the 120 gallon as soon as it is set up, I keep telling my
husband to wait, (having nightmares of it going through my floor) I thought
about putting my African dwarf frogs in with one of my betta's, I have read
people have done it, and others say no, but I would like to give the
goldfish and gourami their tank back to them selves, before putting the
others in that tank, they were in there for two years and never got sick or
had any problems.

Hey thanks for the help, I really appreciate it

Do you mean?
A. tsp (teaspoon)
B. Tbs (Tablespoon)

Teaspoon - sometimes my typing finger has a mind of it's own, other
times I just misspell ;-) ........... Frank

If you're worried about the 120-gal aquarium weight (I'd worry too ),
why not fill it partially? You could grow plants up out of the water,
and even on some dry land area - nice for frogs? If there is dry land
and water, I think it's called a paludarium(?).

======================
Which is the reason we nixed getting that great deal on a 120g at
PetsMart - everything to go for under $1,000. There's soil under the floor
where I want to put it (large dining-room) so jacks aren't going to work to
support the floor unless concrete footers of some kind are laid... too much
expense and it's only a crawl space. If I had a concrete floored basement
or finished garage I would buy it now.

Well my husband does construction, builds houses /roofs, all that fun stuff
and i told him about what a few of the guys on here said to do, so he says
he will secure it from our basement which would be below the tank, but the
thought still worries me, there is a 55 gl in that place now, with a 29 gl
and a 10 gl below the 55 and we never had a problem, so i guess i will find
out soon

The ground in your crawl space doesn't freeze does it? Just put a
concrete patio block on the ground and shore up from there. If the
ground doesn't freeze, it won't move up and down - no need for a
footing............. Frank

No, but the soil is damp and soft and sinks easily.

Just put a
concrete patio block on the ground and shore up from there.

The block would slowly sink into the earth. That's what's happening to one
of our outbuildings now. One end is on rock and the other on soil and the
blocks sank.... we're going to have to have that fixed and soon.

If the
ground doesn't freeze, it won't move up and down - no need for a
footing.............

The supports under our house are set on vary large concrete pads that go
into the soil several feet because the soil here doesn't support anything
when it's damp. A block on the surface today will be sunk an inch by this
time next year if there's weight on it. :-( It's a clay soil that's like
mush when wet and like cement when dry. Our foundation blocks sit on a
wider foundation that goes down several feet. So far there's been no cracks
in the foundation, a common occurrence here. We have extra supports under
the sun-fishroom floor to bear more weight than an average floor but didn't
do that throughout out the rest of the house.
