thanks for all that - is there something else I am doing if there is a lot of algae on the plants?
-
Well I assume thats what I need - there is a lot of algae growing on the plants and I want it gone - any other suggestions? ta

What algae eater will survive best in indoor unheated tank?

Thanks for you help on this and sorry for so many questions. I have a couple of big plastic tanks outside (about 600L each) - I want to raise as many baby goldfish in them as possible until I build my new pond. What will I need to do this? As I said I couldnt believe how many fish this breeder had in such a small space - and they all looked fine.

I recently went to a goldfish breeders place and he had a huge number of fish in a very small space. There was plenty of water flowing - so in this sort of intensive operation is it the filtration or water movement thats important? I guess the key is water quality and my questions are about attaining that?
-
you are up early too!! Does this apply to outdoor pond as well - what is more important - filtration or aeration?
-
If I am using an external filter (eheim) do I need any other form of aeration for my tank - how close to the surface should I have the outlet?
-
but what about filtration etc?

I recently visited a goldfish breeder who was raising large numbers of fish in a very small area. He had a lot of water flowing so assume that's critical - what else is important?

thanks fishboi - actually its more an academic interest - similar principles to other livestock breeding - horses for instance - you can bring them into season early by extending (artificially) their daylight hours. Sheep, you use slow release hormone sponges. How long would you need the females under cooler conditions?
-
Sheep I know about. What about light - does that have any influence?
-
well I hope its Stu!!!
-
thanks Stu - my experience with out of season breeding is limited to sheep - am sure the same methods cant be used but I guess I am just going to have to experiment.
-
anybody have experience/thoughts on this?
