Hi, welcome to AC!

Hello! Your tanks look cool.

Goldfish are coldwater fish. They also grow quite large and live for many years, upwards of 20. These are facts known to hobbyists but for some reason not distributed by pet stores. Some of out members here have 4-5 goldfish in a 75 gallon tank and still change a substantial amount every week(they're so messy).

I would recommend checking out our forums for an ID on the common pleco, there are several species sold under that name and some of them also get quite large.

I like your setups, and hope we can help you in the hobby!

Hi A&J, welcome to AC. Hope you enjoy your time here. We all like fish and each of us knows something different. I am guessing that between all the members, there is little known in the hobby that nobody here knows so use it as a resource when you have questions.

I had the wardley test things and they didn't work. It made me really angry to waste $12.99, lol.
