Oh I see! Glad I have an RES then after that whole Fishy debacle we had. Oh dear.

Your welcome Laura9.

My res is a pig and would probably eat my cat if she could!

[marleslaura9]

Lol, my cats all like to walk along the front edge at the bottom of the water line, then all 3 turts come swimming over, they r so greedy that anything passing in front of the tank is a possible feeder!!

[Kansasslider]

I hear ya

Maybe a better name for Fishy would have been "Lunch" My goldfish names are breakfast lunch and dinner.

[cutepanda86]

lol Well I hadn't planned on getting attached but it turned out "lunch" became a tank buddy for 3 months. lol

The tank emptying has begun, got a mouth full of turtle water yum......

[cutepanda86]

Ewwwww.......

What are you emptying it with? A shop vac? I find them quite handy.

[Kansasslider]

I think the trick to goldfish is size. The kind I have in my tank grow to a foot in length and are now about 3-4" I have a large tank so 3 foot long goldfish will not be a problem but I might have to look into better filtration.

[marleslaura9]

Lol I used a hose pipe it still took 2 hours to empty tho, all refilled now (using a watering can) just waiting for settling woo hoo.xxx

[Kansasslider]

why did you drain it? Sounds like you could use a waterbed drain kit!!

I figured while I was getting in there I might as well do a water change at the same time

[marleslaura9]

I was gonna just poke the hose from the filter out the window but the neighbours didn't like that idea lol

oops I was edeting
