55gal goldfish tank

Manatees is a good way to look at it. The more I think about manatee the cuter they look If I could have just non fancy varieties I would. Swimming shouldn't be a problem for fish ya know... I think goldfish in general are just an awesome fish to have. I know people consider them a beginners fish but they're really not if taken care of properly. They require just as much work as the larger cichlids. But the plus side to goldies is that they're not always trying to kill each other I guess having fish get along is a downside to some people though hehe.

They're fed very lightly. They free feed on duckweed now but as far as processed food goes it's a pinch of this and that every other day. Things will have to be changed up eventually with the comet and common being in the tank. Still trying to figure out what to do. Dennis and Anikin aren't leaving my home so I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point.

Rubbermaid tubs are a blessing when thy get bigger, or they ALWAYS have fr hottub shells on the free section of craigslist. Since Ive turned my goldies coldwater about a year ago they have NEVER gotten diseases. Just couldnt set it to close to that kitty shelter

I've thought about a hot tub shell but for one I don't want to rent a truck to pick one up and second I want them on my porch. Out in the yard I'm not going to be able to pay attention to them most of the time and Dennis is a wet pet to me.

Great Goldys!!

Yes I'm a cichlid fan but must admit there's some goldys here out in the pond LOL Orandas, Telescope Butterflys and a couple young koi my youngest some bought with his allowance / money earned. Now he's saving for a monster koi he's fallen in love with, since the price of gas anymore and the bi-weekly visits to go see it looks like we'll be setting up the 1500g pond for it.

Thanks I really enjoy them, they've got personality without the attitude.
