http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/ne ... 6102847632 Its a pity the ones in my inside tank aren't as tough. Lost another one last night. I think my tank is cursed as I still have all my Trout in my AP system (Hope I dont jinx myself). |

Cannibals, bloody cannibals.... I've found goldfish to vary incredibly, I've seen some survive in surprisingly poor conditions you would expect no fish to survive, yet I've seen others turn their toes up because the wind changes direction. |

I used 10 feeder fish (goldfish) for my 1000lt fishtank and they lasted for 2 years. Most of their problems was because of float bladder problems. I ended up feeding them crushed peas and keeping up their fibre. |
