Kenny’s 29gal Goldfish Tank

O right its a bulldog pleco. that explains its blurry shape a bit.

i meant the brownish green leaves of those two stem plants symetrically placed in the middle background...

but it could just be the camera lol.

Oh, the Rotala Indica! They don't have Algae, they just hate this OLD bulb!! LOL I'm considering moving them later, replacing them with more Crypts. That's actually the ONLY plant my goldfish eats BTW...IDK if you can tell, but there are a few nibble marks. I'm sure they are going to be happy that's I'm getting 2 new bulbs though!

BTW, when you said 2 stem plants, I looked in my 29 right beside me...and was like...OH the Rotalas, Forget pictures when you have the tank. huh?! LOL

Ok..so I added in a piece of Elodea Nuttallii and will soon add some Dwarf Sag. I know the D.S. wasn't on my list, but an opportunity randomly popped up and I took the offer!

I also moved the RL Pleco back to the 55gal. I doubt his survival and think he'd be happier in there since my mom can overfeed, I can't. I lack that ability. lol

lol overfeeding is easy, i do it all the time in my tank. lol

Any chance of pics?

kenny1tothe6 · 10-23-2009, 09:37 PM

I *promise*, I'll get some uploaded just as soon as I get the Dwarf Sag!

I never could overfeed, I either gave them too little or JUST the right amount. I'm pretty sure it's just 1 Red & White Ryukin now since the others have moved...should get a few more for the Ryuk!

i have a blue betta in here for about six months doing fine i try not to overfeed just sparingly

Nice tank!

29gL's are easier to keep bettas in [with other fish] then a 29gal. The 29 has the same footprint as a 20gL, but 18" of height I think.

Weekly Maintenance is DONE!

Suprisingly, the Duckweed was all in there...jut...in the filter [Unknown for a goldfish!], so I put it all in the tank.

The only things I did out of the routine, was add in a few handfuls of Black Gravel [bought a new bag...rest goes into a new 1.5gal Tank] & Trim the dead val leaves! That's it!

Another thing is, I've gotten the big pond all cleaned up & got to thinking, I don't use the 9 & 50gal Ponds, so, they'll be gone soon along with about 9 little tanks...

Well, due to me wanting to get more tanks, I'm ditching almost all of my old tanks...specifically 2.5gal's that are about ~4-5 years old! So, my 2 FM Bettas are living in here, but are establishing territories but no major fights.

Here's the Px of them:
