Aquarium
6 Answers
I have an aquarium which is 30"long,15" high and 12"depth. I started 12 years ago with 6 goldfish but for the past 2 years, I have had only 2 still alive.They are in good health but I am finding a big tank like this is becoming.
They are fairly big comets and I was looking for advice about whether they would mind moving to a smaller tank?
I am not intending to put them in a fish bowl but I am uncertain about the size they would be happy in. Thanks.

I am not in good health was just looking for a way to make the job easier.

instead of buying a small tank, get a filter.
Something like this, check its big enough for your tank.

Tinkerpuss, you shouldn't have to catch the fish everytime you give it a clean. just remove 25% of the existing water....about 5 gallons every week or two, and replace it with fresh water out of the tap. I never use any de-chlorinators or water conditioners and my planted tropical tank looks superb.
As mentioned, you don't say any thing about filters in the tank .
here's a link to my tank
