I have a 35g tank that i was going to set up for a couple of fancies. I plan on getting them small and upgrading the tank down the road, but for now i figure the 35g tank will do. I've got the tank set up with water and filtering and ran some tests: PH=7.0, KH=4 dKH.
I've got it hooked up to an XP2 canister filter and an Aquaclear 50 (200) that i can use for backup or extra filtration.
The temperature (without using a heater) seems to rest between 74-77 degrees at room temp. This is during the winter, so I expect that the temp would increase in the summer. I've read that fancy goldfish can live in warm water and that they aren't really cold water fishes like common goldfish.
I'm a responsible pet owner, so i want to make sure that i'd be giving them a good home. Otherwise, i might as well explore other stocking options. The family would love having Goldies though...
Thanks.
