Newbie: Goldfish pond requirements
Hi,
I've been offline for the long weekend, but I've been busy.. I'm now the proud owner of: 1x Shubunkin 1x Sarassa 0x grid 1x almost empty pond :-) Both fish are busy hiding away under the stepping stones, but are otherwise quite happy. Thanks to Gill for sharing his experiences. Thanks to Jan for encouraging me to become a string algae keeper ;-) So Wakins and most other double finned goldfish should be ok as long as I stay away from the "bubble" eyes. Surely Oranda are not good idea though? The garden center I went to only had "common" goldfish, comets, shubunkins, sarassas and of course lots and lots of koi.. but no double tailed varieties. I'll keep looking and get some advice if I find something appropriate. In the end, a goldfish-only pond might not be such a bad idea. After years of caring for "problem" fish such as African rift-lake cichilds and Discus, it might be quite relaxing to just look at a few dozen healthy, trouble-free fish without worrying too much about falling PH, nitrate levels, etc.. Thanks again for everybody's help. Best regards, Frank |
