My 60gal Goldfish Setup:

[___James___]

Before everyone here starts saying things about my setup, a couple of things a want to let you know about my tank:
1. This is not a permanent setup.
2. I’m aware of the bioloads that goldfish emit.
3. I do weekly 50% Water Changes (like most people here.)
4. I have decent filtration on my tank.
Anyways, I’m just keeping my fish in here until I find out how I’m going to get rid of them. I got my fish to test out the pond I built, (roughly 135 gallons) and I got lazy and I haven’t gotten rid of them. I moved houses and now I’m stuck with 8 Common Goldfish in a 60gal Setup. The sizes range from 1”-4”. I also have 4 nerite snails and a Yoyo Loach. I was concerned at first but my water parameters are good and my fish are healthy. (I’ll try to get a better photo.)

Personally I think you are on top of things until you rehome them.

Very nice, I have 3 in a 70 right now, fun fish to watch.

I agree. Very entertaining and personable fish.

Well, I tried to get a better image.

Very cool. I've bought many as feeders and once they survived a few weeks in the predator tank, they became pets. Goldfish will always be cool to me. Simply because they are easy to take care of, very forgiving in terms of water parameters, and have a ton of personality.

You don't still use as feeders right?

Nice collection you have. Great to see someone with the guts to post his goldies. They look well taken care of. Ii need to post my calico vieltail in his planted 10g (his 35g future home is 90% complete).

Thanks, I’m looking forward to see your setup. Seems pretty cool!

No. Too many parasites. I've looked into breeding healthy ones before but we will see. I have a feeling I might get attached to those too lol
