Last year, I thought of entering the year with a new set of fish and a new tank set up… I bought 3 red telescope, black gravel and thought of keeping goldfish instead of tetras and barbs, a sort of upgrading my fish passion…

Problems struck me… The black gravel is as black as its name… I’ve been cleaning and filtering it manually to no avail and up until now, its unusable and still flushing out black dirt when i wash it… The gold fish, well the name aren’t synonymous on how they keep the look of the aquarium, they only go with a subtle setup and they dirty up the water with their waste and left over food… I thought of limiting the decoration with stones and marbles and a small castle… and to solve my problem with the water being tainted as early as 3 days, I bought this new overhead filter which is far stronger than the one I used with my tetras.. it seems to be working at my first install and for the first time I can see the water and the tank alive with the bubbles  here and there… yet seeing it this morning I still think that I may not be able to keep up with their uncontrollable waste disposal attitude.. arrgghhh!!!!

If by my next month it still persists… I may shift to tetras again…  or maybe angel fish or maybe sharks waaahhh!!!

This ain’t fishville brother!
