| Do Anybody Know Anything About Fancy Goldfish!! I broke my filter this morning, and I am worried that Nemo won't make it 'til I get another one. I was cleaning the filter, and the little skinny tube thingy fell down the drain. I feel so bad..Me keeping Nemo alive for 2 years was my hold test to see of I could care for an animal without killing it!( if you saw 28 day, with Sandra Bullock, I thought it was cute) From, what I read he will be fine, humph... Merry Christmas

| Do you have an air stone and an air pump you can put in the tank untill you get a new filter?

| Goldfish are stronger than other tropical fish, it is important to keep the water moving.. But I really think Nemo will be fine for 24 hours without the benifit of a filter or pump. Many fish live in those small goldfish bowls for months without a air stone. Good Luck, and Merry Christmas

| I think he will be fine. I have 3 aquariums and all of them have had the filters broke or off due to power outage or another reason and they have been just fine. Especially my freshwater aquarium. I think you should be okay. You must be doing a great job to have a fish for 2 years! Ive had my freshwater fish for over a year now so hopefully I can make it another year also!! (I havent had the same luck with my saltwater fish though )

Thank you everyone for your advice. I worried about Nemo, while I was at my Aunt's house, he is just fine. I will be at Walmart in the morning!

He's pretty big; the black and orange spotted kind. we have a problem with green algae getting on sides of tank now for some odd reason. i have used advanced algae destroyer 3 times and it's still coming back. even on the live plants. any one know how to get rid of that stuff for good? looks like little green dots. hope nemo is ok! what a cute name! i've never broke my pump so i don't have any info for you, just hope he does good til' you get another |
