Subj : Re: My new goldfish To : All From : Elizabeth Armstrong Date : Sun Nov 07 2004 10:02 pm I have gravel in my 10 gallon with my goldfish (she's still quite young). A lot of people swear by bare bottom tanks for goldfish, etc. It's really a matter of personal preference. Sand is rather hard to clean, so I like gravel. However, goldfish don't do too well with live plants (or so I read). Seems they get a little onery (esp later on) with their tank and tear it all up to their liking anyway. You'll want to cycle it, etc... nothing different than the 10 gallon I would think. Just keep an eye on levels and be really careful about overstocking w/goldfish. If you don't have anything else in there though, you should be fine. ~Elizabeth "Syadwad Jain" wrote in message news:cmdkl2$jq1$1@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu... > Hi, > I have been reading the group for quite a while, but haven't posted > anything yet.
