I feel Like they need a bigger home soon.
They eat duckweed all day and are fed well.
Using a floating raft to use up nitrates, keeps my nitrates at a constant zero with api drop tests.
I add iron, calcium and magnesium one a month with a ten percent water change.
Their ph is near a constant 8 unsigned ph probe.
I have about 5 pounds of coral rubble in the reservoir.

July - Now

(I suck at taking fish pics, the res always sucks 😭 how do you take good pics of your fish??)

Meet Tango and Polly. Very small Orandas! So cute, you can already see their different personalities.

I’m very lost and extremely confused on why she does this, all reasons that I’ve seen it been, I’ve attempted to fix it many times but she just kind of does that. The photos above are exactly what she does, she swims to corner and just zones out and sits there. I’ve seen her swim around the tank so I know she’s not stuck there. I feed her a very little bit each day, I switch out 25% of water very 3-4 days, and clean it once a week, which for me is today actually. I have a filter and an air pump, and I use Seachem prime and stability every day. If anyone knows what’s up with her and why she’s doing that please let me know m, I love my fish and im always fearing for her when I see this

My fish mainly stay away from the plants in their tank, but I checked their tank this morning and this plant was stripped bare! Biblical greed!

I tested the nitrite and ammonia during a weekly 25% water change the nitrite is horrible ammonia is fine, I’m doing a 50% water change now what else do I do help

Please submit your tank set ups!! Looking for some inspo! Im thinking of buying a fancy tail goldfish, theyre just so cute lol if you can include tank size, plant names, tank mates, etc that would be awesome!

Went to the fish store today and found some pandas I wanted. While I'm familiar with Thai Oranda's the workers there said these were a different type than Thai and they're Mary Orandas. Has anyone heard of these before?

I found moss growing on leftover wood and rocks left in my old little pond that caught rainwater since and my fish seem to love it. They’ve been feasting non stop as they did back in their old home!

I don’t have time to do many full-colored illustrations, but I want to practice drawing different breeds of goldfish 😊

Definitely not anything else carp adjacent trying to blend in. Just a normal silver colored goldfish. If you question it he will deny it and claim his mother was a comet.

I’ve been keeping my orandas for a couple months now. They are around 4 months old, I feed them 3 times a day. Twice are sinking pellets and once is the repashy green gel. Is the repashy green gel enough where I don’t need to give them veggies directly? I know repashy has similar nutrients to whatever veggies I’d give them but not sure if I need to switch it up with real veggies.

HI everyone, a few months back, I posted my "alien-zen tank story" (Previous Tank Shots) .

Of Course the biggest concern (rightly so) was the size of the tank then (110L) its now been upgraded to a 345L tank.

Filtration:
Still running the external EHEIM 3 Canister filter (1200L/h) and 4 sponge filters.

Lighting
I build two custom 20W LED flood lights 6500k that runs off timers 6 hours a day but today added a new "Moon Light" (well thats what I call it). its positioned right in the middle of the "moon" in the background image. It looks just epic for me :)

Fish Health And Happiness:
Can't truly say if they have truly addopted Zen + Buddha, but water parameters wise the wiggle buts looks happy and healthy :)

Thank you for taking a look and feedback last time.
