Ok lets settle this down, things seam a lot harsher in written form than they really are. My point is, would you keep a yellow tang in a 10gal tank? probably not but yet you keep a fish with a similar size requirement in a smaller tank. I may not know all the fancy Latin names for my coral ( If you ask me I have a blue, a green, a red, a purple and a pink. Oh and there acro's :mrgreen: )or fish but I do know there requirements and strive to provide the best set up I can for my animals, no matter what they are.

As for reef central not even close, it was pointed out to you that the tank was to small for a gold fish and you started getting flustered. Just trying to reiterate that a gold fish should be in a minimum of 20 gal for 1 or 2 fish with above average filtration as they can seriously degrade water quality. for the record I don't believe in using feeders either.

anyways if you want to keep it in a drinking glass go ahead but don't flaunt it and get upset when people tell you it isn't proper.

I knew someone was going to say something about the goldfish but in hopes of helping fish find a tank he wants i posted the pics anyways. But seriously its a gold fish people used to put goldfish in boots cause it was the fad. It may not be the best set up for it but at least im not feeding it to my piranhas which i actully dont feed feeder fish either, my piranhas eat pellets :mrgreen: So i think we should get away from my goldfish abuse and back to the topic at hand fish's tiny tank.


So back on topic now, FIsh how would you plan on plumbing a tank this small.

If we take living things into our care it is our responibility to provide appropriate care. Goldfish or not, that tank is not appropriate for the size of fish you have in the photo.

If you are going to post photos, you are going to get feedback. If you dont want to hear the feedback dont post photos.

If we only compared ourselves to the lowest standards we wouldn't achieve much.

You guys are upsetting Sean's monkey.
See?

(and btw, I think tiny tanks are lame, totally lame... for various reasons. you can't keep squat in there and do a good job, and I don't care how many people waste too much time trying it "successfully" so don't even start with me, OK?) :biggrin:

But yeah, seen those mini-"tanks" around at some shops - Petcetera, etcetera...

Sean,

Go to the link provided to find out about filtration, etc. No, the filtration system wasn't noisy and neither were the goldfish :biggrin:

Hey Chad, I saw a tank similar to Sean's at Chum's tonight. Maybe give them a call for more info.

Fish 01-07-2005 04:02 AM

Thanks Cap'n! I will give them a call and see what they have. I am actually looking for something around the two gallon mark.

Or maybe, instead of a mini nano I should just follow Bev's lead and build a 110gal indoor marine lagoon. That would be sweet! :eek:
