what's with the equipment overkill, though? I've always heard they're dirty fish, but surely not *that* dirty...?

 

[Gill Blue]

hate to burst your bubble of peace and good will, but even if every fishkeeper in the universe quit using goldfish as feeders, they would still be food for something somewhere.

 

[Redearsunfish]

Ah yes, but still, we can all strive to to feed more nutritious meals than goldfish to our carnivorous friends, can we not?

 

[Redearsunfish]

And if you use them, I don't judge you.

You'd be remarkably surprised.

TO properly keep goldfish(and koi), they require much more water volume per fish than almost any tropical fish.

They belong in a pond...or a pond sized tank.

Koi is a completely different discussion, since they are in no way shape or form related to keeping goldfish, in my humble opinion.
