Was that a yawn? 😂 I want to show yall my fancy goldfish I got them from Petco about 7 months ago. Mango (the one with the reddish wen) has a body like a comet goldfish atleast that’s what it looks like to me also very long back fins maybe he’s a mix? Papaya is more round and a fatty 😂

Hi my niece won this goldfish in the fair a few weeks ago, my sister moved out and left her so I started this tank for her.

I have done some research online but I cant find much information on specific things and was just wondering if anyone can tell me if this tank is suitable, should I make any changes?

I am planning on adding some more plants and another hide or 2 but was also wondering if it looks suitable for another goldfish. I dont even know what kind of goldfish ponyo is so it would be a while before I can add anyone else but if the tank is big enough for 2 knowing will help me to build it up proportionately.

The tank is 60 Liters
The light im using is an Aquael Leddy Tube but its only 10 Watts
The filter is a Beta internal aquarium filter but im changing this soon as its quite powerful flow.
So far ive been feeding her Tetra goldfish flakes

If anyone has any advice ponyo and I would greatly appreciate it thank u.

Hi everybody! Looking for some help with these fishies. I’ve gotten 3 goldfish from somebody who could no longer take care of them. They are in this tank temporarily and I have a pond that they will be going into as soon as I’m sure they’re all okay, but this one has some strange lumps on him. His body shape also seems strange to me. The other two look very happy and healthy, but I’m unsure about this one. I’m not sure what their tank parameters were like, don’t know how long he has been like this either. their owner was physically disabled and no longer able to perform water changes for a very long time, and their water level had just been getting lower and lower, and their water was very dirty. Very nice big tank though at least. There is still two more fancy goldfish there that I will take soon and find new homes for once these guys have gone into the pond.
Wondering what you guys think these are. Tumours? Parasites? Infection of some kind? Would love some ideas on what they are and how to potentially treat them if you think they are harmful or could possibly spread to my other fish, or if the others could also be infected. Hope he is okay because he is very cute haha

i was thinking of rehoming my goldfish and he's 12 and my mom doesn't wanna get another fish for him because he's the only one left out of 4 so he's just by himself and i think he's lonely and my uncle has a bunch of other fish but i think they're betta fish..? I'm not sure what exactly theyare but anyway i know he has no other goldfish. do you think he'd be okay there? or like idk.. 😕

Tank Help Suggestions please

I want to change the bottom of my tank. I don’t want to do a traditional substrate bottom. What out of the box tank bottom coverings do yall do? I don’t wan to use sand dirt or gravel. I was thinking slate tiles but that’s pretty heavy for a big tank. Or if you go bare bottom what types of decor do you use? Thank you!

I accidentally got a carnival goldfish (it was left on my car by someone else) and I immediately put him in a small bowl with tap water and gravel. I then learned that tap water is toxic and they can eat the gravel. I also learned that they are social and need friends. Today I got a 30 gallon tank, used water conditioner and bacteria cleaner, and used a quick start solution to add some good bacteria. I also have aquarium sand (rinsed) and come hides and fake plants. I have a filter (for a 60 gal tank) and an aerator too but I’m nervous my little guys won’t survive long because of the lack of preparation. I have strip tests for the water but I heard they’re bad. What else can I do for them?

Questions Why is my goldfish swimming like this?

Hey chat , this is my Oranda goldfish her name is Ponyo and I’ve had her for almost 8 months now. When I first bought ponyo and brought her home she swam very normal not crazy fast or crazy but for the past 3 months she has been swimming very erotic and it looks like she’s freaking out. I thought in the beginning she was just excited to see me when I got home as when I get home she always greats me at whatever side of the tank I’m at and when her tank was next to my bed she would always watch me in my bed lol and I still do think she gets super excited when I get home as she doesn’t move this fast when she thinks no one’s around yk but I’m starting to get concerned if there may be something I’m doing wrong and it’s affecting her swimming. Plz lmk if this behavior seems weird to you or if there is something that’s could be causing this.

Questions I have a hypothetical question about goldfish and tank size

0 Upvotes

Hypothetically would a 20 gallon aquarium be suitable for a fancy goldfish if the water was able to be kept adequately clean, so in short answer if one fancy goldfish had the bio load of one neon tetra would a 20 gallon aquarium work? No I'm not planning on keeping the goldfish in a 20 gallon aquarium, no I do not support it especially for a fish that's more than 4 in (I give a bit of Grace if it's still a tiny baby) this is just a fully hypothetical question because it's 3:00 in the morning can't sleep and had a random thought come in my head
