I think you are spot on with the heater idea , my goldfish are outside all year in a pond and yes they can survive sub zero temps but obviously they are much more active and happy in the summer when the water is 20 odd Deg c 👍

Yeah, I think with them being fancy goldfish, the heater will defo be of benefit!

Use Plasti-Dip to paint the back of your tank. That way if you ever want, you can just peel it right off. Looks great too.

I had 7 goldfish in a 55-gallon and am slowly moving them to a 75 with my cycling. I have two fantails in now with 7 amazon swords across the back (volcanic rock, gravel and sand substrate), but when I moved the first of 5 shubunkin in he pulled up the swords despite having swords in the original tank. I'm wondering if he is bored with the larger, emptier tank and if he'll get back to normal once the rest are in. I moved him back to give the roots time to grow. Also contemplating ways to protect the base of the plants.

thanks for the info! I’m getting a new tank this weekend and i wanna be sure my fish are safe and happy! (i’m also a complete newbie)

Hi there Where did you get the pre filter sponge from I can't find it anywhere I've got a fluval 307

@GingerFishyOfficial

10 ай бұрын

I got it on eBay. Its an Aquarium Coop one, which you can’t usually get in the UK, but someone was selling them on eBay for a while. But, I have found that the the sponge from the ‘Ocean Free Hydra Bio’ internal filter works quite well as pre-filter on a canister.. they come in different sizes though and I can’t remember which size it is that will fit a 307. If you have a Maidenhead Aquatics near you, they sell them. 👍

The superglue isn’t bad for them? Could I use hot glue?

@GingerFishyOfficial

Hi there, instant contact super glue is fine to use, as it dries completely inert.. its widely used in the aquascaping world. Just check that it says cyanoacrylate on the ingredients and you should be all good. I’m not too sure about hot glue, I have seen people use it, but I’ve never used it myself.. I did a bit of research on it a while ago and came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t use it.. hope that helps! 😊

Hi mate, I ordered them on eBay, and they actually came from Australia, I think Aquarium Coop was shipping there for a whilst (I think they may have stopped now though, but I’m not 100% sure). But anyway, yeah, I ordered a few on eBay, a bit pricey, but not too bad, obviously the shipping cost a bit, but what I forgot to take into account was the import tax.. 😫 so probably won’t be buying anymore.. I’m glad I managed to get a couple though, as I’ve been wanting to try them out for a while!

I have some specific questions about Blue Phoenix Goldfish care. My husband loves them and I finally found a breeder that I got one from, however I just want to make sure I properly take care of it until he’s home. He’s currently deployed so it’s a surprise. I’m looking for the perfect filtration system for it with low flow so it doesn’t cause too much stress on the fish when it swims. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@@bipolarpolarbear8645 50 gallons is a good size, and big enough that you could do something similar to what I’ve done in this tank setup, by pairing the sponge filter with a canister filter. Or if you’re not a fan of canister filters, you could go with a hang-on-the-back filter. I’m in the UK and for some reason we don’t really have many hang-on-the-back filters here, but I know they are quite big in the US, as I think they are easier to maintain than canister filters. But yeah, you could go with just a canister or just hang-on-back, as either would provide plenty of mechanical and biological filtration (you can also adjust the flow rate on most of them). The 207 fluval canister filter that I used in this tank had the flow rate turned down when I first put the fish in and then over time slowly turned it up as they got bigger and stronger. Also if you did go for a canister filter, you could always add a spray bar to the outlet for a more gentle flow. I do like to always have an airstone going in all my tanks though, so I tend to think if I’ve got an airstone going, it may as well be in a sponge filter. Also, by having a couple of filters going, if one stops working for any reason, you still have one going.

@@GingerFishyOfficial Thank you! All this helps so much. We already have a goldfish tank, but a I got a separate one for these fish. Along with a Pearlscale I’ll be putting in as well. Our first goldfish tank does have a hanging filter, but I feel like the current would be too strong for a blue Phoenix or at least that’s what I’ve heard.

Where are the plants?

some experts say sand and goldfish is a no no. what you think?

@GingerFishyOfficial

8 ай бұрын

Yeah, I’ve heard the same. Although it can sometimes be a bit confusing as I think there’s a big difference between a fine sand a more course sand like I used in this tank. Im personally not a big fan of fine sand, but I think the more course sand like what I used here works really well for goldfish, as it fine enough that food and waste doesn’t get trapped in it but it’s course enough to be able to gravel vac it. 😊
