Subj : Re: My new goldfish To : All From : Blove Date : Thu Nov 04 2004 02:15 pm having no gravel is safer and easier to clean. goldfish will eat any live plants you put in, but there are fake plants that have a weighted down bottom that you can get at walmart for like 4 something for a 3 pack. and you need to do waterchanges every week not every 2 weeks. test your water regularly for ammonia nitrite nitrate and it would be better if you cycled the tank before you got fish http://fins.actwin.com/mirror/begin-cycling.html you can use store bought ammonia (make sure it doesnt have any fragrances or stuff added to it) instead of using fish.
