varven Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Do any of you use large semi clear plastic containers to hold goldfish ? Im talking containers that are sized about 2 - 4 feet long and about 1.5 feet wide and high >? The ones that have a volume of about 130 - 180 liters seem pretty ideal. Im gonna shop around to try different products and compare their structural integrity/ material composition/ pros and cons and see what I can come up with . Has any one been succesfull with plastic containers and which ones did you all use ? Cheers, v.v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Where are they going to be kept? They deteriorate very quickly in sunlight and become brittle. I know someone who bred goldfish in those cheap ponds you buy in the warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I'm using 40-50L plastic containers for growing up fry of various tropicals at the moment. They seem to work well and they were cheap. I've been using the plastic stackable ones with rollers on the bottom, only cost about $10 on special. They aren't in the sun though, just in my fish room.

varven Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah Ive ruled out spots with direct sun on them, mostly likely theyre going to be kept semi indoors. Ive done this before succesffully Im looking to see if I can find the preffered "containers". Midas would you be able to tell me the brand of the containers youre using ? cheers, v.v.
