I think a lot of us here don't really keep goldfishes. One of the reasons is that they will eat plants.
As they eat a lot, they dirty the water very quickly. Caninster filter will have a tendency to clog easily. Even Overhead Filter has to be maintained fairly frequently. As for diet, they eat just about anything, but I find Hikari's Sinking Ranchu Pellets to be quite acceptable by the fishes.
pH of the water should be slighly acidic to neutral. At least that was how I was keeping mine about 3 years back.
I believe there are at least 2 local forums dedicated to goldfishes. One is Rafflesgold and I can't remember the name of the other one.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
