choji002 53 Posted March 27, 2014 Finally bought a new 53 gallons tank for my goldies, love all the happy faces. Sadly my black moor couldn't make it, she passed away 2 days ago due to SB . But I'm glad that the others are fine. Bad camera *sigh. _The Video: _The Photos: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shellbell4ever 1,381 Posted March 27, 2014 nice upgrade Beautiful tank Anubias are very hardy plants for a goldfish tank Also try running your cords and wires, air hoses down the corners so they're not so visible and not to be mean... BUT... I would recommend re homing a few of yours as your overstocked presently unless your planning on another tank or pond in the future 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel E. 10,021 Posted March 27, 2014 Im not a fan of real driftwood in a tank because it can decay. But I know many people on here that do keep it successfully. But remember the more you add to the tank the less water your fish have and since your highly stocked number wise id hesitate on adding a lot more stuff. Love your ryukin and comet btw.

GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted March 27, 2014 I would leave the tank like it is and consider rehoming some of the current fish to lower your stocking levels. Any addition of decoration will displace the water your fish need. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choji002 53 Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks, also is it ok if I direct all the currents to the surface so ? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted March 27, 2014 I would have at least one current directed to the bottom so the poop moves toward the filters. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaCGold 1,691 Posted March 27, 2014 Wonderful tank and fishies! What kind of filters are those? Did you create that acrylic top? (I assume the lid/top is acrylic.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choji002 53 Posted March 27, 2014 Wonderful tank and fishies! What kind of filters are those? Did you create that acrylic top? (I assume the lid/top is acrylic.)I have 2 top filters with filtration material inside the boxes on top of the tank and 2 sponge filters run by air pump inside the tank. I bought the tank set this morning I didn't make it Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dnalex 13,633 Posted March 28, 2014 Nice job! I would add more plants. You may have to try different kinds to see if they will leave any of them alone. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted March 28, 2014 What kind of camera do you have? Cameras where you can control the shutter speed are tremendously useful, although you can still take good pics with point and shoot cams. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using my nokia lumia, well I will try to work with the setting. I will try different plants to see if it's ok. Bad goldies,they rip off everything on their way rofl. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adnan 596 Posted March 28, 2014 Congratulation! Gorgeous Goldfish! I would like to ask you, do you have any problems with the plants on the surface, do Goldfish eat their roots? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
