i have fancy goldfish. the tank's dimensions are weird -- 8.5'*1.25' you can check out the pic in my sig.
the temperature in the tank is 72*, is that fine? how long and wide should the pvc tubes be?
is it possible that the goldies might eat the minnows?
could i buy 5 loaches?
3 inch upwards (height) and the width should be around 3 inches too. They should be at least a foot or two long. I *think* 72 for a temp is fine. How big is the goldfish? It is a *possibility* that the goldie may eat the minnows, you could see what happens.
3 loaches would probably be better than five... four max.
