Thanks all for the info. I had a feeling sand may not be good for goldies. at least the change over from one tank to the next should be ok with the transferred media. I'll let you all know how it goes and post a pic when finished :)

Excellent. I really didnt want to get a heater as they have been fine without one for a couple of years now, that and we dont get the freezing temperatures that others experience, here in Australia. It will probably be a while before I stock the 65L (Aiming for my first tropical :) )so I might...

:) Im in Oz and in oz dollars they are very well priced but I still have never heard of them before.

Ive never heard of these tanks before. Anyone had any experience with them? If they are ok they are great value for money! http://www.justaddwateraquariums.com.au/Jinlong/

Ahhh thankyou for the information! Eventually I will restock the 65L but Im not in a hurry and can always do a fishless cycle on it. Im sure the goldies will be happy to know they can move in straight away to their new home :)

Thanks for the reply Katty. I hope they will be happy in the tank :) Typical of me I have yet another question lol! As the 240L will be under stocked (until the fishes grow up!) will the bacteria die off if there isn't enough fish waste after Ive fully cycled the tank?

Hi all. Currently I have 3 fantail goldfish in a 65 litre (17 US gallon) tank, all very happy and healthy with upright dorsal fins etc. I realise the tank is most likely overstocked (though not yet as they are still growing :) ) and Im going to move them to a 240L tank (not sure what that is in...

I would assume that if there were live plants in the tank they would add O2 also. Again I agree with others here that surface agitation is the main ingredient :)

Wow! Im new here and have just read your journal. Thankyou for the ride! Your tank and fish look fantastic and following your fishless cycle has been great. Im hoping to be starting mine soon! :)

Thanks for the info and welcome OldMan47. I'll keep in mind that the cryptocorynes may lose their leaves! And thanks for helping me round out the tank :)

Ok thanks for the replies everyone :)

Thanks for the quick replies! I definately dont want to overstock! If gourami's are too big any suggesstions for a different top dweller?

Im a newbie to tropical fish but would love a well balanced visual tank which is 65 liters or 17 US gallons. I was thinking 8 Endlers live bearers (male only) OR 6 spotted rasbora (middle tank I believe?) 3 Honey gourami's (top tank) do these jump out the water? I would love...
