Kenny’s 29gal Goldfish Tank

OK, im sure itll be great.

Thanks!

I'm a bit nervous because last night, all the peppered cories C-R-A-S-H-E-D. No idea why as parameters are good, temp. is 78, etc. I put them back in the 55 to maybe recover. I'm going to monitor the tank and soon just buy completely new ones once I'm sure everything is stable. It's scary, the thought of losing the peppers since I've had them since 2006.

Oh well, the bronzes are just a little bit younger. I hope they pull through but those clown plecos are throwing out the best colors I've ever seen in them.

Oh - and BTW: I got a new aquarium today. It's a 1.5gal Cube!

[[and P.S. it's my birthday today!]]

S***!!, I F***** up MAJORLY.

Ugh, no wonder the Cories almost died! Atleast plecos are alive & thriving!

I'd rather not go into details about my screw-up, but it'll be a few weeks before I can re-stock cories or any other sensitive fish!

Lemme guess? water parameters are hostile? im having a imilar poblem with my blackworm tank that crashed today with a nitrite spike.

Ummm...not sooo much, it's my fault, I put in too much fertilizer and while the plants love it, the fish can't say the same. All are alive & healthy tho!

overdose on fert? usually a couple drops daily will be enough for a smaller tank. (<45gallon)

kenny1tothe6 · 11-07-2009, 05:19 PM

Ugh, it's a long story.

I added 2 new goldfish to this tank today! Plus, the lady who bagged them up, gave me the Pumpkin Seed Sunfish from the feeder tank...for free!

He's in the 10 for now. My idea is, he'll be moving in the 5,000gal Pond when that is done.

New px of the fast growing tank:

all 3 goldfish together:

Enjoy!

Nice sunny deal lol.

I like the triceratops skull decor, interesting touch

The tank is looking good. was there a beta in this tank before? or something else?

kenny1tothe6 · 11-08-2009, 07:32 PM

I love the Skull....IDK why but it replaced the Driftwood that looked like s***.

There are 3 [female] bettas who live in here [expecting 1 to pass, any day now], but then there are the 3 goldfish:

Onyx - Black Moor
Stormy - Calico Fantail/Ryukin
Roger - Red/White Fantail/Ryukin

and 2 Clown Plecos....

The more I'm thinking about it, I want these girls in a different tank and then this WILL be the goldfish tank.
