    Hi
    I have a goldfish tank and have landed up in this site numerous times recently when googling various bits of information, so decided to join in the hopes I can have some specific questions answered. So handy to have a local forum as most of Google only mentions US products.

    We have 4 goldfish, which then had babies during the recent lockdown.
    The babies (7 of 8 left as sadly the smallest died a month ago) are now 5 months old and I've just put them back in with the adults as they are now big enough not to be eaten.

    I just upgraded to a 250L tank and LOVE it! The fish look so happy with their new bigger tank.
    At some point in the future we are considering building an outdoor pond for them, at which point the tank will become a tropical tank, as I love the idea of multiple types if fish together in a tank.
