Daughter loves her betta, Aang, and is taking good care of him. Now she has her heart set on a pair of fancy goldfish - currently, a pearlscale and a fantail. I said she could have them down the track, if she continues to care for her rats and betta properly.
She's already done a lot of research on goldfish - how big a tank to get (35 gallons, minimum) how they need double filtration (she's saving up for one eheim canister, I'll spring for the other one..) and so on.
Is there any other advice that might be useful to her? Areas to research? Hints and tips on care and feeding? Possible problems?
She particularly wanted to know what plants were best to get, both for fish nibblies and decoration.
