Excellent! GOOD FOR YOU (that's your good deed for the year!) :bounce:

haha interesting ... I didn't know they could change colour .... good to know it's normal! thanks

that's great, they both seem healthy enough, they are eating fine and swimming along in their tank happliy (I think - lol)

Hi Caper No, haven't found a home for my goldfish yet, but I have four watchers on the auction ... so will see how that goes

Whew .... thanks for that ... I didn't know that could happen!! Good to know they are still healthy

oh whew - that's a relief ... thanks

they are in a cold water tank, just noticed today the underside is turing silver as the gold colour is disappearing .... I must be doing something wrong? I have these listed on trademe as "healthy" - - - is this no longer the case? :oops: :-?

yay for you for rescuing goggles - is it worth contacting spca to report them?

Thank you for your kind words of support ... very much appreciated... I'm please I joined a club too, otherwise I wouldn't know if I'm arthur or marthur (lol) not that I'm quite sure about that now .... so many things to think about, and of course I want everything, and all of my fish, like, NOW ... patience has never been one of my strong points ... :lol: :roll:

thermometer from critter kingdom, undergravel filter animates and heater from Janelle!!

Hi thanks everyone for all of your advice ... I really appreciate it... it's really awesome that complete strangers will help out other complete strangers!! I am now the proud owner of a thermometer, undergravel filter and heater .... yaaaaaaay ... will set everything up in the next couple of days.... woooooohoooooo

ok thanks .... does it matter which I add first? how long do I wait before adding the second lot?

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu very pleased I went!! :bounce:

how many, how often?

thanks for that ... once I have my two minnows sorted, then what?

Thanks Ian So I guess that means I can't get all of my fish at once then and just put them in the tank .... What fish would you recommend I start with out of minnows, corys and the bristlenose pleco?

ummmmmm what does "cycled" mean? I feel so dense! :-?

Thanks Ian No, haven't got a filter as yet, but will def get one sorted prior to adding new fish ...

thanks Janelle I will try and get a heater then if I can afford one (reasonbly cheap on Trademe but will have to check the budget first) I guess I should wait until I sell the fantails before having the heater installed? will the combination of corys and bristlenose plecos be ok with my two minnows?

hiya you too! (i sent you a private message) :bounce:

will the bristlenose pleco and corys be ok without a heater?

thanks animates actually told me to do that too!!!! they also told me to add a cup of water from the tank to the bag every 5 mins for 20 mins, so the conditions in the bag match the tank, then take the fish out of the bag and put in the tank ...
