What type of goldfish will you be keeping?
Not all goldfish can take strong current especially in such a small tank.

I realise these in-water type pump really raise the temperatur of the water in the tank, esp if the tank is small.

Came home to find female guppies swimming at top....
Too hot

Since you tank is small, try to fill up as much water as possible.

Hmm. You are right too, am guessing if the source is not healthy...

My area has 3-4 LFS, this is the only that carry a better looking range of females and at affordable 80cents. Any further I know will be c328 liao...

2nd this . The way they gg one by one seems like either source or the water they not used .

I will try another source.

Eg for a period of time my tank ph is 6.2 everyone was okay cos it slowly dropped from 7.1 over a period of time so the fishes kinda used .

So if u buy any fishes back probably that 1.0 ph will shock it

 

[skytan13]

2 feet goldfish probably 1-2 max else ur WC and filter wool regime
Will make u quit this hobby early .

These pump no need buy too branded one , the usual sun sun , jebao all this can ler .
With local warranty and cheap not painful If spoil .

cotton will rot in water and soil. So we dun really use cotton when planting both ways. Even soil will rot with roots if constantly expose to water in potted condition. Thats why hydroponics dun use soil.

Yes, ph 1.0 difference can kill the fish, melting outside, melting inside you cannot see but the fish feel jelly.

ok then get the water pump of how many litre per minute ? is 2 x 2 over head filter box enough ?

I believe you will be keeping side view ranchu which don't like strong current.
as you will be using small tank, it will be like living in a washing machine if the return flow is very concentrated.

why not use a sponge filter instead?

 

[Pank85]

Gold fish like to bang sai, best to get one that reach bottom, sinking pump type. Biofilter is the best but if you can custom the top to two layers, I dun see why it will not do the job. Rest is more attention on filter media.

i see some water pump the area where it suck in water is at the bottom instead of the front portion. which is better ?

im using a sponge filter now with tidal 35, water not clear enough so thought of removing sponge and filter change to OHF with 2x2 box.
