How Many Fancy Goldfish For A 50 Gallon Aquarium?

By on Thursday, October 13th, 2011 | 5 Comments

Two whisper 60 filters going… Would do live plants except the goldies would eat them all… Do fantails like heat? I was thinking 4-5 fish as people have said something like 1 fancy Goldie per 10 gallons. I was thinking of getting a black moor or two, an oranda, and maybe some veil tails.
Thoughts, ideas, advice? I’m pretty experience keeping fish and until recently had a thriving aquarium filled with rummynose tetras until someone brought a friend over who thought t would be fun to see what happens when you drop a soapy malachite rock in an aquarium…
Anyway… Love to hear what you think.

Is A 2.5 Gallon Aquarium Big Enough For 2 Fancy Telescope Goldfish?

By on Wednesday, October 12th, 2011 | 8 Comments

I know that fancy goldfish should have 10 gallons each, but i already have 2 of them and i dont have the money to buy a big aquarium. I know it was a stupid idea buying 2, but i saw this 2.5 gallon aquarium with a filter and pump. is that good enough?
I will do my best to keep them healthy without going over my budget.

Q&A: What coldwater fish can you mix with fancy goldfish?

Question by NoName: What coldwater fish can you mix with fancy goldfish?
Hello,
I am thinking of setting up a coldwater aquarium.
The tank I am getting is an Aqua One 620t fish tank which has a 130 litre capacity and a good filtration system.
I would add 3 fancy goldfish (1 Black Moor, 1 Oranda, 1 Ryukin).
I was wondering what smaller species, if any, I could mix with them.

Also, are there any species of cleaner catfish that I could add?
Would be grateful for any replies,
Cheers!

Moor And Fancy Goldfish Eggs Or Not?

I have a moor fish and a fancy goldfish in a tank together and today I found a white chunk sitting at the bottom of the tank. Now I don’t think it’s a fugues or something like That because I just cleaned it. Do you think it’s eggs?

a new breed of Fancy guppy? (the seahorse guppy)?

Question by Question_77: a new breed of Fancy guppy? (the seahorse guppy)?
i’ve been breeding my guppies for show quality and possibly admitting them to a fish show near NC, U.S.

i have been breeding my fish and lately i have 5 types coming out of my batches:
*The VERY fancy (show quality)
*The fancy (Petsmart quality)
*The semi fancy ($ .25-.50 worth)
*The Plain guppy (feeder guppy pretty much. lol)
*& the a.k.a. Seahorse guppy

These “seahorse guppy” have a genetic defect, and its their spine that has it. They have a twisted spine making them look rather like a “seahorse” and they look rather cute. Although some of these didnt make it along the way, most of mine currently have a life span of 2 years like any other guppy. Some of them are plain, while others are VERY colorful. so far 7 generations have come with this “defect” and all of them live happily by themselves in a species tank.

Would you call this a new breed like the BALLOON molly (another genetic disordered fish breed)?

Hate, spam, agree, disagree comments are welcome. ;)
it is true that some of the common defects in guppy fry such as a bent spine makes them live not long and yet my 7 generations of these seem to thrive very well… hmmm… perhaps i should patpend this breed? lol… ;D

Answer by Sarah
I suppose you could give them a new name such as the seahorse guppy seeing as that’s what they resemble, but they don’t live long, and they’re not the healthiest of guppies.

What Could I Put In My 55gal Fish Tank Along With My Fancy Goldfish And Violet Gobby?

By on Sunday, July 3rd, 2011 | 2 Comments

I have a 55 gallon tank that already has one fancy goldfish and a dragonfish (violet gobby). About half of the bottom of the tank is sand, the other part is gravel. It’s heated to be about 76 degrees, and I put in a slight amount of aquarium salt. Not enough for it to hurt the fish in it, but it’s there.
I was wondering what else would be ok in there? The fancy goldfish is about the size of a baseball, so I’m not worried about it getting eaten. I was going to put some loaches in to help clean the gravel. I also have a male beta fish in a separate tank. Normally, I wouldn’t think of putting them together, but since the goldfish is so big I don’t think the beta would pick on it, but I’m not sure. Overall, I was wondering what sort of bottom feeding fish I could put in, along with any normal fish that wouldn’t bother the goldfish or make it too crowded for him.

Do Female Fancy Mice Stink?

By on Wednesday, May 18th, 2011 | 2 Comments

I really want to get a fancy mouse but I am really worried that they stink. I have a cage for her well them because I want to get two females. I have had a MALE dwarf hamster in the past and he stunk so bad that I had to get rid of him. I love mice! But are they smelly, I have been doing a lot of reading online and still am not convinced I can get a female fancy mouse and they won’t stink. They would be in either shredded paper bedding or carefresh. They will have a couple houses a tunnel, water bottle, food bowl, wheel, a block to nibble on, and that is about everything. I will clean them once a week.
Also I have a fish tank light and hood for the glass cage, will this work and will it help lessen the smell? Please no mean comments, I have just had a bad experience with hamsters so please any advice would be great!
