Hi, Jan! Thanks for all the info and I enjoyed all your pics and website!!

I will continue to check out liners and look in to bubblers or a cover for
winter.

As for my goldfish, they aren't fantails -- they were 12 cent feeder fish I
"rescued" from a pet store. They have all been in the same aquarium for
almost two years and I haven't seen babies YET, but I've had fish forever, so I
know that could change quickly in a decent environment.

I really want to keep my budget as small as possible right now. I may just
start buying by the piece and begin this fall or next spring.

I guess that was my main reason for the pre-form -- quick and cheap. I do
know, however, that it wouldn't be the BEST choice.

Thanks, again!!

Michelle
