Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 70202, member: 3087"] Yes, M'am! I don't plan to add anything for a while. Someone said add goldfish after 2 weeks. Is that too soon, though? I have 5 in a 30 gal aquarium, one fantail oranda, 1 goldfish, 2 comets and 1 shubunkin. They are the "freebies" I got with the 55 gal aquarium purchase. Should I introduce them when it's time, or buy feeders and see how they do first? Problem is that I have had NO luck with the feeders. I was trying to buy some to grow up a little before the pond was ready, and all of them died. Some in 3 days, some lasted 2 weeks, but they all died, so I've quit trying. Will the pond be different? Also, I started the aquariums with RO (reverse osmosis) water, as for tropical fish, my KH was too high, or so I was told. I'm slowing switching the goldfish tank to well water, though. [/QUOTE]
