David Retired LEO Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hello Everyone, I'm David Retired LEO. I kept fish when when I was younger and now that I have more time to kill, I picked it up again. It's good to see that there is so much more and easier to find information out there. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi neighbor. PA here and retired as well. The sheer volume of info available now as opposed to when I was a kid can actually be overwhelming at times. Gorgeous Goldie’s you have.

Patrick_G Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Nice looking goldfish @David Retired LEO! I really like a nice big goldfish tank. The tank pictured in my sig almost became home to a single large Oranda, but a planted community tank won out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaW Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Beautiful and welcome! I used to have Goldies and while I really miss them, I don't miss their waste! Some of my most beautiful ones were pulled from the "feeder" tank. That's a beautiful tank too. How many gallons is it and what are the marks on the side of the tank?

David Retired LEO Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Thank you! These GF are from my little pond that I had in my backyard. I had to get rid of the pond so the fish came inside. Two of them are feeder fish. All I had was a 10 gal, with 5 3-4 inch GF I was doing 80% water changes every 6 days. For Christmas and my birthday, which is right after I got gift cards for an aquarium. That's a 55 gal. Now I can go 2 weeks and am only changing 50 %. I'm trying to slowly turn it into a planted tank. I put the marks on the side to get an idea of how many gallons of water I'm changing. It's a dry eraser marker so it will come right off. Thank you for the welcome message!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
