Stunted comet goldfish in 7gal tank for 4+ years - adopted by me, now look at her 4 month growth in a bigger tank. Her head was so out of proportion before.

Advice For My Jerry Meyer

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 06:05 PM PST

Hello goldfish enthusiasts! I need some advice to determine the future home of my goldfish. Jerry Meyer is a comet goldfish who is about 2 1/2 years old. He was found in a clear plastic bag on top of a garbage can. Someone must have won him at the carnival that came to town and didn't want him. He started out about the size of a quarter and is now almost 7 inches long. We didn't think he would make it a week let alone this long! We thought he would be in luxury alone in a 30 gallon tank, but this sub is teaching me that Jerry needs more room to be healthy and happy. We could upgrade to a 55 gallon, but then he would still be lonely without a friend. We could dig him a pond, but we live in NEPA and I am worried about our long and frigid winters. Like many others, I didn't know what we had gotten ourselves into with a goldfish, but I want to do what is best for Jerry Meyer. Thank you everyone for your help!

Just for fun: what is your favorite combination of goldfish type and color?

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 07:39 PM PST

The chocolate Oranda and blue Oranda i will be adding to my tank on Friday finally came in, but I've been staring at my two gorgeous red and red and white orandas for the full day wondering what the tank would look like with the anticipated dark colored fish. Will it add variety? Will it take away from the zen-ness of the tank? I don't know.

So that got me thinking. What would your ideal Goldie stock look like? What varieties are your favorite? Do you like a cohesive tank or a tank with variety?

Tips to save a sick fair fish

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 06:18 PM PST

My sister got a fish from the fair and kept him in his tiny fair tank for three weeks. He's got a couple ulcers, missing scales, bleeding on his body, bloody streaks in his tail, bloody gills, and he keeps sinking to the bottom. My sister feels terrible because she was saving up for a real tank and didn't want him to go in the tank with my fish til she got a new one. I set up a sick tank for him. It's a ten gallon with no filter and no substrate, but it's got a little decoration she had in the tank with him. He's really not doing good. I told my sister it's not her fault and he's got a chance, but I'm just not so sure. I'm putting my all into this dang fish to give him the best odds I can. I fed him carrots and flakes before I switched him to the new tank. I put some shock stuff in the tank and I made sure the temperatures matched up and put him in because he couldn't wait any longer. I'd put him in my tank since it's cycled but his immune system is virtually non-existent and I didn't want to do that to him. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

She had been doing water changes every 2-3 days.

Here's his tank vs the sick tank.

Small update: he's swimming better since he's been in there half an hour. Not just sinking anymore and he's following his reflection (he's not pacing or bumping the glass to itch, just following it)

Do my fishies need a heater???

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 01:54 PM PST

Guys I am getting conflicting advice on this one! I live in michigan and have a 40 gallon tank. It hangs out at around 65 degrees because I live in Michigan and my family doesn't really heat the house above the mid to high 60s ever. Should I get them a heater and set it to like 72? would they be happier?

Fish inquiry

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:12 AM PST

I was wondering what other kind of fancy goldfish I could keep woth my black moor? He's currently alone in a 20 gallon long, but I'll be upgrading to a 55 gallon over the holidays. Lenard (my black moor) is about 4 inches long right now and all the other fancy goldfish I have seen are babies at 2 inches or less, would they be okay? or should I wait until my lfs has larger stock?

How to use Matrix?

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:12 AM PST

Hi all, I'm having a terrible time with my nitrates. (ammonia and nitrites are both 0) Unfortunately my tap water has anywhere from 20-30ppm so frequent water changes aren't helping much.

I have a 75 gal tank up and going for a year now. I'm running 2 canister filters a sunsun HW302 and a HW403b. And a sponge filter in the tank. I use a long turkey baster to remove poop daily. Stocked with 3 1/2 fish. A 2yr old Oranda, a 1yr old Fantail/Ryukin a 1 yr old Shubunkin (will go back in pond in the spring when we fix the leak... if not fixable he will go in a friends pond) and a 4 month old baby from the oranda (I'm counting him as the half fish since he's still small lol!) My tank is bare bottom... I'm going to put sand in eventually.

Last weekend I put a packet of purigen in each of the canisters. I don't have much hope for it because it says it needs a lower flow rate. But I figured it wouldn't hurt.

I just ordered 2 containers of Seachem Matrix. Each bottle says it will work for 50 gallons. Should I put one bottle in each of the canister filters? or put both bottles into one filter? Does it matter?
