@ Lalo J.
Good to see you too!
I had a bad experiance with another forum so i decided to take a break. I'll be way less active now but im back!

I know I swap out stockings here and there to find what I like. I found one I am sticking to. The fish that were in the tank have a new home I’m taking them to soon.

currntly the tank has 4 Thai Calico Ranchu Goldfish. I added2 large sponge filters rated for 60 gallons each plus the AC 70.

I'm not realy a goldy fan but yours & your tank look great! I espescially like the half & half faced 1...whatever that may be called...

Thank you! These guys are the most active goldfish I seen! Always on the move.

Here’s a picture of the tank with them looking for food. They hide out in the back in the rocks and plants when they are resting. It’s cute

I unfortunately had lost 2 out of 4 of my Ranchus which caused me to become discouraged from keeping them. I took the remaining two to a local fish store I go to cause they have a decent selection and healthy fish. I ended up leaving with a gold nugget pleco.
I also got 4 black neons and 3 zebra loaches. The neons were to add to the 9 I had temporarily in my 10 gallon tank. Thought they would be happier in the 40. Put the heater back in.
I decided on trying out another Sorority tank but with giant females.

zebra loaches are nice but they really need to be kept in a large group - at least 6 for the health of the fish.

The store only had 3, I’ll get more when they get more in.

I'm sorry you lost your goldfish.

The 1 loach I see isn't a zebra (botia striata), likely a yoyo (b. almorhae) but too small to tell from similar loaches.

Petco labels yoyos as gold zebra loaches. They are tiny
