Those golden sharks are aka cigar sharks... That will be an awesome dozen.
Oh and my dream tank by the way.
Oh and my dream tank by the way.
I have the air pump on top of the tank. I would be nervous relying on a check valve to prevent any back siphon in the event of a power outage. You think if I run the air line up high enough before going back down under the stand it will be ok?
So I raised the temps in the tank to 80F and bought 27 fish on Saturday. Raising the temp got my goldfish in the mood...they starting breeding on Sunday morning. Goldfish eggs were actually the first snack for my new tropical fish.
Here's what I bought:
(6) 4" Wide Bar Silver Dollars (Myleus Schomburgkii)
(9) 5" Redfin Bala Sharks (Cyclocheilichthys janthochir)
(12) 3" Golden Sharks - no idea what these are
Can somone help me identify the fish in the video below? They were labeled Golden Sharks and I saw a larger one in the shop that was around 8".
They look kinda like scissor tail rasboras. They stay at the surface of the tank. They were only $4 each.

You should try moving the air pump inside the house and just running the hoses out to the tank, I bet you'd have to use the heaters even less...

Congrats again Alex on your finds !!!! When you come up next time I'll go around with you and maybe you can stop by my place. Yea I think if you run the air line even 12"s above the tank it will eliminate any worry of back siphon. You can test that even w/o a power outage just to reassure yourself![]()
that is awesome news on the goldfish, IF you ever get rid of them I'll take them !! I would love a/dozen breeding pairs of goldfish to raise my own feeders, didn't realize it was that easy.
Congrats on your way to finally getting the tank the way you want it. Pretty cool to hear the goldfish started spawning.
I finished the panels for the canopy a few hours ago. I think it turned out ok. Here's a video of the finished product during feeding time:

LOL well bro, it either puts the tanks size in perspective or tells us how short you really are..... very nice work though, just a matter of time before those fish put on some size.
Wish I would of known sooner on the goldfish and I would of had you bring them up this past weekend![]()
awesome lookin, tank. it looks crazy big with you standing next to it while feeding
Thats AWESOME!!!!! I'd really like to see it when you have it completely set up with all of the fish!!!!!!
