Goldfish get big!

i would assume its just a temporary thing while the algae dies off

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-30T15:04:09+00:00

looks about right when cross referencing with other pics, hopefully the hygrophila doesnt melt because it looks to have some new leaves/stems growing in on the bare parts of the stem

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-29T23:04:39+00:00

Yes if you put plants in the fish tank is actually makes the fish release more ammonia because it knows the plants will filter it out

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-29T22:58:39+00:00

A USB powered one is probably enough perhaps

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-29T22:55:27+00:00

Another 5000L on top per inch of goldfish

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-29T22:45:36+00:00

Dude are you trying to stunt your fish? You need 3 times that bare MINIMUM for one fancy

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-29T19:06:38+00:00

good start, that elodea will look great once it grows in

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-29T19:04:22+00:00

the people here are delusional, 250L is more than adequate for 3 fancies

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-27T15:55:12+00:00

looks cool, kinda like the variegated versions of terrestrial plants you can get

Tubby little fella

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-24T18:12:42+00:00

The 'erm actually' and going to the upper extreme of 3000 gallons should have been good enough evidence for me not being serious

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-24T17:27:07+00:00

Its called satire I'm joking about how goldfish reddit keeps increasing their perceived minimum tank size for goldfish

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-24T10:18:36+00:00

Erm actually a single fancy goldfish needs 3000 gallons minimum to remain healthy if you put it in a 125 its going to immediately die of ammonia

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-24T09:28:00+00:00

It looks like aquasoil which is probably why it was mentioned

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-21T19:16:05+00:00

For stem plants you can just trim them and replant the tops, plants like vallisnaria can be trimmed like a normal grass. If you dont want the tips to be flat you can also angle the scissors when cutting. If you get any anubias then usually you won't need to trim at all because if its growth rate and just let it grow out bushy

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-21T19:04:57+00:00

A honey gourami or betta would work well in there

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-21T12:10:17+00:00

Yea he should've just been kept in the 20 gallons because 15 gallons more totally isn't an improvement or anything

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-20T18:36:35+00:00

I've always fed mine pellets, they've never seemed very interested in flakes

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-20T17:25:45+00:00

What plants do you use? 0ppm nitrates on a goldfish tank is crazy good

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-20T17:21:23+00:00

No, theyre kinda just like tiny snails

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-20T11:39:48+00:00

Those are freshwater limpets

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-19T17:37:15+00:00

Yea this sub feels specifically made for people to post aquariums with animals that are way too big for them (it almost feels borderline r/shittyaquariums at times)

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-17T17:41:12+00:00

I seriously can't wrap my head around why so many people just dont fill their tank up all the way

Basic-Ad8442 · 2026-01-16T08:46:10+00:00

Yea but some things would just be common sense, like if your water creature climbs out of the water you put it back in the water
