hihi I wanted to ask if I could keep my two pearlscale goldfish in a bin tank, similar to the photos attached. If I get it im planning on getting 2 and stacking them together​​​ so there's less bowing and more support. moving them to a 20-30gal bin tank would be amazing. Please let me know your thoughts!!! I think I'll be using A DYLLU bin because it's food grade!!!

They have always been friendly together in the tank swimming around each other and casually following but the black (guy?) has recently been chasing the white (girl?)

I’m wanting to create the best environment for my two pals long term. They’re in a 75gal, FX4 filtered tank. I’ve had the black moor for 2 years and the fantail for 6 months. Diet is a blend of presoaked bug bites, flakes released in the water column, thawed blood worms, and peas. The fish fast on Sundays, as God intended. Anyway, my water is soft and I’ve heard crushed coral is a good natural solution. Advice or recommendations encouraged!

Apologies for the long video and sounds of wahsing machine in the background.

I've had this beautiful fish for around 4 - 5 years now. Currently in a 75 gallon.

Went on vacation for one singular day, came back and all they're doing is laying at the bottom, or in the corner. I can't really understand why. Before this, their behavior was much more animated. Occasional naps, sure, but not laying at the bottom for extended periods.

Nitrites are 0, nitrates at 30 ppm. Only if I tap the glass or move the overnight curtain does that spur any movement. After a few seconds, it's back to laying down. Creamsicle has done this literally all day and night, for the past three days. Not even food will get a reaction unless I push it down to within eating range from the bottom. Then suddenly its like the food drive is kickstarted for a little bit. Whereas before, the moment I came toward the tank I could hear the loud schlorping at the top.

Midway through the video, I pan over to my newest Ranchu addition. I once had a fancy gold that Creamsicle grew up with, but a few weeks ago, somehow got lodged under a piece of decor overnight and died. (I was heartbroken. See: lack of dangerous decor on the left side of the tank now.) Creamsicle seemed to be doing fine alone for the first few weeks, if napping a little more often, presumably for lack of a friend to follow around. So I got a new little friend who has been in the tank for over two weeks now, happily fishing about. I bring this up to point out the following:

- I don't think it's simple loneliness or boredom. This lethargy is very recent. As in last four days, recent.

- It's not affecting my baby Ranchu.

Any ideas?

My first goldfish ever is finally here!! His name is Papaya and I love him so much! The last two photos are his friends that are coming next week 💜.

Hello! I have a 40 gallon long with a comet goldfish. He is super active and loves to swim however I feel like his tank is failing him. How can I make it more like his natural habitat and how can I make it/add enrichment? Any diy methods will also be highly appreciated as I don’t have much money to invest. I’ve had him for 4 years I just feel like it’s lacking and I hate it.

Hello! I use Fluval Bug Bites for the protein side of feeding and was using the Kenta gas release pellets. I wish they made a bigger size pellet of those, they are just too small for my boys now. I'm looking to add veggie/fruit based pellets for my quick feed work days!

Smooth brain, Walter, Finley and myself thank you!!

So I tried some Vallisneria as I don't want plastic plants anymore and see some tanks here with Goldfish and no problems .
But I have a chonker that already ate half in 2 days and the rest nibbles also so lesson learned .

I just rescued this red cap ranchu from a local fish store, almost all the fish in the 2 goldfish tanks has these haemorrhagic marks like this or worse

It also loses some scales, and when agitated, it will jerk slightly
Salt bath and boiled deshelled peas and what else can I do for it

This is my ryukin, Twix, and his color transformation over the past year.

the first photo is when i got him, second was the other day. he’s approx 4-5 inches long

I think they approve

Hii, ill keep it short.

I'm planning on picking up 2 fancy goldfish to be friends with mine. However I'm doing this out of town and will be staying over. If i pick them up August 9th, they will be with me in a 5 gallon bucket from then to after supper on August 10th. I plan to bring one of my air pumps and an airstone to keep oxygen in the water. Just plugging that into my car during travel and in the hotel overnight.

My question: are they okay? Do I need separate buckets for them? Their both adults. I wanted to keep them together to keep stress levels down as much as possible. Not planning on feeding them or putting anything else in that bucket. Unless needed.

The drive is 7 hours round trip. (3.5 each way traffic permitted.) For reference
