SO... after being teased with the eye-candy on China's Finest Goldfish (a Vancouver goldfish retailer) I am really warming up to the guys. Perhaps for my birthday in May I will set up a goldie tank but before I even think about it I have a few questions to clear up:
1) Will 3 fancies (probably all fantails) in a 55g tank be okay? Is that sufficient space and will they have enough company between the three of them?
2) What filter would you recommend? I am considering an AquaClear 70 (or perhaps a 110 would be more suitable?) or maybe a Fluval 405 (although they are pricey and I hear a lot of complaints about noise). Would a biowheel work as well? I don't know too much about them. In any case, I am just looking for an economical, solid filter that brings a lot of bang for it's buck.
I am aware of the basics but is there anything else I should know?
Thanks in advance,
Kelly
