A very close friend of mine has a 15(?) gallon tank with two goldfish, a feeder fish, and another fish I am not sure of. They recently moved to a new place and since their lease doesn't end until January have decided to leave the fish behind until then. She said I could take the fish if I...

Bought a 20g to go with my new 10g yesterday, for the two common goldfish, who definitely needed a bigger tank than the 2.5g they'd been in before. Surprise- my sister, who apparently decided that two goldfish in a 20g was too little, comes home with three new goldfish, a black one, a orange...

Meet Brian with a black spot and Chris, who Data HATES. We have a bunch of guys name Chris and Brian in my office. When I talked about getting a fish and a tank this is what they thought I would come into the office with. They are gold fish and Data doesn't want them any where NEAR him...

Hello! This is my first time on the forum, I hope you guys can help! Here's the story: I bought some hornwort for my 15 G tank to help the tank thrive and to see if I could handle the basics of aquatic plants. I checked it over for snails first, and thought that there were none, so I was...
