    • @Fishaholic
      @Fishaholic  4 года назад

      You will definitely need a proper filter, depending on size of tank, number and size of goldfish. Either a sump, canister or internal filter would be ideal.
      Goldies grow big in size and they do make a lot of waste. An airstone would be a good addition too.
      Sponge Filter are good for small fish. Or if your tank is under stock, water quality would best determine if you need an upgrade.

      Hey mate, it depends what sort of fish you are keeping in the tank. I can see you have guppies so sponge filter would be the best. Go for medium or large size since guppies will have fry and tank will get overstocked in no time. They are very cheap 8 to 12 buks so you can upgrade them anytime you like to.
