Hi everyone,

Just want to say a quick hi to everyone as I am new to this forum!

I currently dabble in goldfishes as I like them and initially thought that they were easy to keep.
However, after the a few deaths and some research, I realized I would need more than just a goldfish bowl to keep them.
Since then, I had upgraded to a 3 ft tank (150L) with 5 goldfishes (4 ryukin and 1 ranchu).
I may get some photos up for the goldfishes probably in the future.

I'm relatively new to the fishkeeping hobby, started about less than a year ago. Hope to get some tips and advices from the posts on this forum.

Thank you for reading and see you around!

Hi Eeeks,

Welcome to the Aq family!

Goldfish are high bioload fish, meaning they eat a lot and poop a lot. A good Water change regime and a robust bio filter is needed to break down the poop toxic. Of course, a planted tanks helps, but gold fish are known destroyers of scape. Hahaha.

From a bowl to a 3ft tank, that's a huge jump! But definitely with the larger water volume, things might be easier to handle. Good luck!
