Hi guys,
I have decided after years of keeping tropicals and marines I'm going to convert my main tank into a home for a couple of fancy goldfish.
I've done a lot of research and I'm aware of the need for a spacious aquarium as goldfish get quite large so I'm not going to overstock,also water changes and keeping good filtration is high on my list,but one thing I'm not sure of is what substrate to use.
Plant wise I'll use Anubias and java ferns with a few crypts etc, I've been told that gravel is not ideal as goldfish like to forage around and sand is best unless you have a bare bottom but I don't really like that so anyone got any suggestions of what to use?
