Okay, I am not a fish-tank enthusiastic or something, My dad had to bring two gold fish a year ago for my sis as she threatened to bring a dog, she never cared bout this gold fish after a month and I was forced to take care. This were almost 1+ inch babies .

This gold fish have rapidly grown in size ( I am newbie so i dont know rate of growth) in this 13-14 months , All i did was make sure small 3 gallon tank was clean and they were fed properly, I regularly use to feed them blood worms every week or two, they used to go crazy on that, I loved it.

Now after a year , the small round tank started feeling like they were going around in tea-cup. so i was forced to make room for big tank, bring a huge table and get this large Tank. I then got Golden-sand (by instinct i washed it multiple times and then put it in tank) then added plants and put filters in it, then bulbs came, after full day of running it on, I introduced the fishes in this tank. (Its just instinct i did this, I was later told by tank-guy that if i had introduced the fish straightaway in new tank without running oxgygen for long time, they would had probably died).

So rate-my-tank Smiley , please please please give me tips of what i can do better. and what new fish should i add if i can .

I tried to add two red-cap goldies but 1 simply got sick and died in two days , Now i know i should quarantine first  for some days before putting fish in big tank. Again rookie mistake.

(I have no time for this really, i am amazed how easily I got drawn into this. I am linux sys-admin and programmer)

[Why cant i embed youtube video here ? the flash tag doesnt seem to working too . If any mods can edit, please do. Thanks.]
