Sorry, tap water where I live is around: 8.01 grains per gallon 137 milligrams per liter (mg/L) with a range of 112-142 mg/L PH is around 7.6

Thank you; this is very helpful. Would your suggestion be to then ditch the GBR idea and have a tank with the rest (with a few more to school) or else if I really like the GBR, build around it differently?

So I've had a goldfish for awhile and also a planted tank with some shrimp/snails. Going to finally move over to a tropical tank setup now that I'm used to feeding/weekly water change care/etc. This is my thought after lots of internet research...but I know how the internet is and having real...

So just recently got a goldfish... it must be a she! These are all eggs right? They fine? I have 5 ghost shrimp, mystery snail, and bamboo shrimp with my goldfish.

In all seriousness I've been wanting to do this for awhile! This is just the best excuse to finally do it (and get approval from the wife). How long do you think he'll be ok in this 20gal before I need to upgrade (and them I can turn the 20 gal into smaller fish home).

Yikes! You should've seen the tiny bowl it was being kept in before being "rescued" by my 4-year old.

Howdy, I inherited a goldfish (or my 4 year old son did) and it looked sad in it's little goldfish bowl so I bought a 20 gallon aquarium. Any idea what kind of goldfish it is? Just wondering to be able to better research water temp, food, tankmates, etc.
