My ~30 gallon Gold-fish tank
- Thread starter anshuman
- Start date
now that i cleaned tank. I notice the fish have absolutely no fear at all. on first week, if i opened the tank lid at top they used to rush from one corner to other and hide, now they simply get excited thinking its more feeding time.
yesterday. while i was tossing the gravel around to get it cleaned ( by siphoning 50% of water after tossing ). i noticed this goldies are nibbling my hand while moving around. its amazing to see them soo careless when i put my hand in tank to arrange stuff etc. popeye almost challenges my hand by going in a corner then he wiggles one of his pectoral fins vigorously then dashes towards my hand & just when he is about to crash, turns around and whips his tail brushing my hand goes towards a corner... then tries to do same after sometime (maybe he wants to eat something i guess...or i maybe he is challenging my hand ).

LOL it's awesome when fish are friendly- my platies, no matter what, whenever you go up to the tank they come rushing up to the top corner. You can practically hear them yelling, "FOOD, FOOD! FOOD!? FOOD??"
So funny
I love any petl's quirky habit!

I have totally redone my tank from what i posted on 1st post. I will soon post a new vid and img.
Added a HUGE ASS filter (it is for 50G to 100G tanks or even small ponds) added Huge bunch of water wisteria and moved plants around. Also someone has given (forced given) me Orange/White Goldie, i think its male but maybe female, just 4 month old , is giving the big goldies nice company, he sleeps with big goldies and eats with them , v energetic.
All tests of water are good, water is pristine clear (The water looks totally clear even when the fish-tank-wall is covered with thin layer of algae, which i don't wipe off quickly but once in a week now). I am proud of it.

Almost 2 months now since i set up this tank. Its been v v hard work , but looks like it will pay off.
YouTube - Planted Goldfish tank 30G community (in progress) .
I have finally changed the background, need to tidy it up a bit. but I like the black look of it. Really pops the greenery in the tank now.
I want to add more plants to this, not plants actually, just some moss and hair-thin grass at bottom to even out the layout.

Thanks WaterGuy1,
That was really some experience. It was like going through disaster, describing what's happening here and getting reports from internet that the result looks bad and i am watching death of a tank and i was like extremely gutted to see them literally die (they literally sat on gravel not moving for hours and then gasping for air up).
The goldies are doing good, infact too good in their new tank, they constantly spawn and fly around the tank, I am struggling with cloudy water but still the goldie pair spawn lots of eggs just yesterday. tells you they are really happy.
Again, Epic thread and I can't thank enough to everyone in this thread who kept giving me advice to salvage the situation when it was headed to total disaster.
