blondie Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 first of all, I will have my new tank up and running as soon as I have a filter and get some more stones to finish covering the bottem. First question, I at the moment have two comets. what are some other fast swimming goldfish that would go well with comets? Second question, when changing the water in the tank I know to leave the new water overnight first so that its the same question as the tank water, do I put the water conditioner and cycle in the new water and leave it sit or just add it to the tank?

Caryl Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 You are in ChCh so as far as I know you do not need water conditioner as your water supply is not chlorinated. Wait for another ChCh person to confirm this though. Cycle is not needed either. You don't need to leave the water overnight, out of the tap will be a fine with a little hot water added to take the chill off it. What size is your tank? Comets are better in a pond.

Caryl Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Comets need length to be able to swim as they are fast and grow large. 90cm minimum tank length I would personally recommend. Why not swap them for some fancy goldfish like veil or fantails? They do not speed about like the comets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
