Hello from Southern Oregon

[AdeenaT]

Hello I'm Adeena! My family are first time fish keepers. We have a 29 gallon tank with just a few plants in it that we plan on putting some glofish tetra's, neon tetras and cherry shrimp. We have our first 2 glofish in quarantine at them moment as we only got them this afternoon! ( My kids are beyond excited). I do plan getting more glofish as I know they like to be in groups of 5 or more, but I was told by the employee at petco that we should start with 2 and add slowly so we don't get big amonia spikes( I would love advice or input on this). 

I look forward to being a part of this community and learning all I can about this hobby.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome, @AdeenaT! Sounds like you are off to an awesome start with your aquariums! Your kiddos must be thrilled that you're taking them on this awesome adventure!

I've not kept goldfish, so I can't answer your question, but if you hit the Aquarium Co-op Youtube page on your computer, there's a handy "Search" bar to the top right. You should be able to type "goldfish" in the box and pull up every video from Cory about them. And I have no doubt your questions will be answered! (Just a heads up, though, the search bar isn't available on the mobile youtube app on your phone. Didn't want you to get frustrated looking for it.)
