Title: Little brown fishies! Any expert fish people?
Post by: clipperjay on 29 March 2013, 11:23

Just picked this up last night, started to clean the tank and getting ready to transfer my Goldfish which is getting too small for his current tank.
I'll be getting more goldfish maybe a few more, but taking time to make the Eco system right before transferring any fish into the new tank.
The tank is a Dubai 80 holds 120 odd liters.
Carbon Bio filters will be running an Ehiem 2008 as an extra filter if I don't like the current one as its quite big TBF
Also a Dual Hailea air pump with air stones.

Gravel down, filter in place and waiting for de-chlorination to end usually 24 hours can be longer if you have no air stones in place to help!
You can see "Googly Eye" (what the kids called him) is getting too big for his tank so hopefully his new home might be ready soon as its ready! I'll be adding more goldfish to keep him company!
