You can keep goldfish at any size tank. Idk why but my friend was able to keep a goldfish alive for years in a bowl??? Idk how or why, but they’re very strong fish. So you can start at a 10 or 20 and move up little by little. Honestly with enough filtration and hacks you can manage with a smaller tank.

Watch garage sales, Facebook, and spring/fall city clean up days. Sometimes you will find a big tank sitting on the curb. Worst case scenario is that it needs fresh silicone. I have replaced the silicone in 4 tanks now and it is super easy. The key is careful preparation. Clean out the old seal with a razor blade scraper, tape off the seams if you want them super neat, and make sure that they are cleaned with acetone before putting down the new silicone. Lots of good KZfaq tutorials on it.

I have a 75 gallon tank that showcases my Clown Loaches who are still small, who also have Barbs. I originally got some barbs to help my clowns feel more secure, but you're right, the personality of the barbs are unbelievable. I've also found that you need to have at least 6 in the tank otherwise they are a bit nippy at each other. BUT the barbs are beautiful, the colours are unbelievable when they are grown! I'd suggest everyone try a Barb tank at least once!

Cory I still go back to your old videos for help. I have a 60 gallon tank that is actually over 55 but just under 60. I'm building it bit by bit. I started with Malaysian Driftwood. Two large pieces that go together and my wife requires castles 🤣😂 so I always add a Castle to my tanks, it is my trademark so to speak. There is a lot of Buce, some Java Fern, moss and some rooted stem plants. It is a dirted tank with gravel on the outside edges and Sand covers the dirt. I have stayed away from snails for the moment. I have some Giant Columbia Ramshorn Snails. They don't tend to reproduce in our water and they eat baby snails if any hatch from plants I put in. I don't want to go to African Cichlids obviously, but I would like to put some Pinoit Angels in it, with a few support fish. Oh and I found Crineum? I can't remember the spelling. That plant you currently have in the Goldfish Tank! Man those things are beautiful and pricey, but I went on Sr.'s day and got 20% off. I'm going to buy a second one. I've added three Giant Shrimp, two Vampire Shrimp and one five inch Flower Shrimp named Sirfry. My filtration is one HOB, one Power head filter to provide current for feeding my three large shrimp. I'm probably making a mistake in here somewhere but I'm experimenting with a dirted tank for the first time. I have an Amber coloured tank and it is not very dark, I quite like it. I know over time it will clear up, but it will be okay I'm sure. Oh I put six Bronze Cory's in it and four Khuli Loaches for clean up crew, I love Corydoras. Anyway if you have any concerns or suggestions please say so? I always respect your opinions.

After 5 years having changed anything in my low maintenance 80 gallon tank I was thinking about something interesting with a lot of wood and even more plants. Caught the Loricariidae, put them into another tank and wanted to start the next day. Coming home from work the next day I noticed all the remaining fish started breeding. They did the same thing years before.. seems they don't agree with upcoming changes 😂

Hi, Cory. Miss your Barb tank! May I know what’s the size of your largest tiger barb, male & female? How long do you keep them to get to such size? Are Rosy Barb even much larger under optimum condition?
