danilada Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have a smaller tank that I am considering adding a goldfish too. I threw myself in the deep end and starting with tropicals, so I am unfamiliar with coldwater care. The tank has a brand new filter and has only starting running today, I added some flake to get the process started but is there anything 'special' needed for coldwater cycling? Haven't tested the water yet, but was going to do that in 2-3 days to see how things are going. Currently a bare-bottom tank, but was thinking of adding gravel from my largest tropical tank. Am I on the right track? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Can't you hang the filter on the tropical tank? Either that or swap some of the media over. I have cycled a tropical tank using goldfish (cycled cold then threw the fish in the pond, added a heater then the tropicals) so I don't see why you can't do it the other way around.
