My wife has a tubby goldfish in a 30ltr tank that really needs a new home, til this point she has wanted a bio orb :(

however after much discussion i have convinced her that George would be much happier in a 60x45x45 tank, which by a strange coincedence is the size tank i have wanted to get to house another figure of eight puffer.
George is twelve so im thinking (hoping) that he is reaching his prime :shifty:

Plus the 30ltr can be changed into a lovely little shrimp tank

Sorry after all that waffle my question is can anybody reccomend a good custom tank site for me to get my (i mean george's) 60x45x45 tank :lol:

its a guy fairly local to me, been around for ages lots of people have used him and he's highly recommended by all that have used him so should be good.

I got my recent custom tank from ND aquatics, St Albans. The quality is amazing!
Depends where you live?

Is that the one you told me you knew had a leak in it ? :lol: :lol: :lol: I think you need big bold plants to go with a goldfish... echinodorus , nymphea perhaps ?

Any one who knows me will attest to me being an ebay legend .. but in a bad way!!

To cut a stupid story short I ended up buy two identical tanks :lol:

Looking forward to rehoming George, and like the idea of ...

I've gone bare-glass bottom for mine, and plants on wood. Easy to clean as you just lift the wood out and wipe/hoover the bottom

Was wondering which plants to use that the goldfish would not snack on ... any ideas?
 
Plastic ones ? :lol:
(You could lace them with strichnine :twisted: )
But don't tell the Mrs I suggested that ! :shh:
