    Hi all

    I'm back with a small setup for my son.

    Hardware:
    1 ft tank
    Clip on light
    Sobo HOB filter
    50 watt heater
    Black fine gravel

    Livestock:
    One or two plants (not sure of name)
    2 fantail goldfish (still to come)

    Letting the tank cycle at the moment with Seachem Stability.

    Cheers

    I really like this set up. Black sand always appealed to me.

    I think those plants won't survive goldfish though

    Welcome back

    Imo that tank will be too small for goldfish.
    Most goldfish get big, and produce a lot of waste. Will be difficult to maintain good water quality.

    Perhaps consider a Betta, which would do well in a tank of that size.

    i second this.
    We started off with 2 goldfish in a 45cm tank.
    That soon had to get upgraded to a 60cm. Next step was 1.2m. They're now in a pond outside...
