goldenswimmers Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hey guys...just putting out some feelers out there on ways to improve the Goldfish & Koi section...with the "Articles and Species" section also to add to now as well...I figure people might want to suggest some things we can add to this part of the forum...maybe things like "care sheets" for each variety...possible "lists" dealing with varieties available both here in Australia and worldwide and maybe a brief description of each variety....also breeding articles for any of the varieties people may have had experience with or might be interested in....maybe possible diets for different guys and maybe some "homemade" goldfish food recipes etc....aquascaping....ANY ideas!!...no right or wrong answers...only sharing experiences/opinions and finding out what has worked for people,etc.... So what are some things you'd like to see in regards to goldfish and koi?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 What about a care sheet with all the dumb questions I have asked you about all the common sicknesses and how to treat them without poisoning the fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve6610 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 yep, and maybe the size/depth of ponds/tanks for different ones to get the best out of them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procull Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 how about a plain english version of "how to breed feeders" ie bronze commets , so mugs like me can understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Id like to see a newbie sheet on tank sizes alone. I still see goldfish in bowls here and there ... Something easy to find and straight to the point about the need for heavy filtration and how bowls are evil hehe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 how about a plain english version of "how to breed feeders" ie bronze commets , so mugs like me can understand reckon this could be one of the most viewed too...alot of people would like to be able to supply their own "easy to breed" feeders...

goldenswimmers Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 you can do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha.. see what we can gee up aye...I've spoken with a guy who pumps them out in the tens of thousands..but thats using some super duper filtration technology etc...similar to aquafarming..we'll have to have a look at something a bit smaller for the average joe who wants some free feeders(as free as can be anyways;))..

I agree with this, as there is not a great deal of info in regards to tanks for goldfish i have often asked my LFS and been told a tank was perfect for them only to find out later it was not.
