SIXTY gallons? As in 60?!! aaahhh!! But acid? How can you get rid of acid? My sister used bottled water so it at least doesnt have chlorine. And its an open "tank."
It's not a regular "goldfish" though--its one of those small ones. Even so, it spends large amounts of time sitting at the bottom of the tank looking pathetic.
RRGHHH. and the most frustrating thing is that my mother a)wont buy a tank for my sister b)wont let *me* buy a tank for my sister (long story). I guess the one she has now is okay temporarily (its just larger than one handspan by two handspans...erm...i guess just hold out your hands to see how big that is or something...)
I'll see if anyone we know has a fishtank we can have. So if what everyone tells you is wrong, what do goldfish actually need then? (my sister's is the size of my pinky but im guessing it is very young)
Also how big exactly is your beta tank?! ::imagines farla in full scuba gear cleaning walls of ridiculously large walk-through-aquarium sized tank:: :) -katie
