I use little goldfish in our micro systems. We went to the store to pick up some normal goldfish the other day and my daughter insisted on rescuing some of the smaller ones that are sold as food for larger fish. I am now the owner of 2524 23 tiny little things. They are fun though, and like others have reported, they love the flowing water from the siphon.
Feed other goldfish in a different system once a day as most others here seem to do.
I ended up killing one of my 5 year old gold fish today, because it had what I believed to be Mitraspora since it was totally bloated up and didn't seam to have swim bladder disorder. The fish also had fin and tail rot. When I tried to move it inside for the winter it got white cotton like fungus on both sides of it's body. I didn't want to kill it but, I couldn't stand it any more since it's condition just seamed to get worse and worse. Despite the fact it was still eating. I guess if I didn't move it would have died in the pond anyway. I hate Euthanizing my pets even if they are just goldfish.
Hello, can anyone here please tell me how many goldfish I should have in a 50 gallon tank (no sump). I ask because sometimes i get the feeling the plants aren't getting enough food. As of this moment I'd say I have 50 goldfish.. all of the pH readings, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate readings are fine. I feed the fish once a day and always have the impression I give them more food than they need because they'll eat quickly and then leave food floating on the surface.
