Thread: New to fish, need help, can you help?

No the filter won't hurt your fishy. No your fishy can't be sucked in. Yes leave the filter on all the time, make sure you do water about a couple times a month.....I HIGHLY recommend that you go buy a book or find a good website on fish keeping.

a come goldfish needs a 50 gallon minimum with a filter rated for 100 gallons

your fish will be fine and leave it on 24/7

is the holes of the sucky thing big enough??
probaly not
u have nothing 2 worry about
ur just over thinking about this
he just needs 2 get settled into his environment
but maybe u should get a couple more fish 2 keep him happy
but dont mix goldfish with tropicals (.......i learned that the hard way and only 2 golfish survied....... everthing else died)

oh and if i were u i would trust getting good fish from walmart
ive heard of them dying in like the next day
and one time i went there and i saw a dead fish and the others were eating it
and when we went back there in like an hour lateer the dead fish was gone

but maybe ur walmart have better fish

when u change it to different water, keep the water with it. dont drainit. my fish died like that and no ur fish wont get sucked into it. would u get sucked into a washing machine? no. i dont think so!
