Hi all
I have a tank im planning on putting a golfish in.Its 10-12gallons and was wondering what size filter I need?
I live in the uk can anyone recommend one
Also will my goldfish need a heater?
The tank will be in my room which is usually warm as i hate the cold
Thanks guys
answers would be a great help so I can start looking right away

u don't mind me answering this other thread of yours, do you?

recommended filter size is 10x the volume of the tank, or if the filter can handle the bio-load.

goldfish doesn't need a heater, it can with stand a wide range of temperature as long as it's constant/doesn't fluctuate rapidly, although reportedly some of the fancier kinds such as bubble-eyes & celestials like warmer temps.

may be this webpage can help u abit of knowledge abt filter..

Very useful page!

Cheers
Im going to play my dumb blonde card! (no offence to anyone)
When I look at filters they all say suitable for xxx gallons
So do I look for one that suitable for 10 gallons or something more?
Iv seen one for 10 gallons and one for 15gallon
I was leaning more towards the 15 gallons because iv goldfish are messy!

P.s d_golem does your fishy have name?its really cute!

No, don't go for the "recommended" tank volume in the box. Look for the turnover rate (10x tank volume is ideal). Your tank is 10-12 gallon so it's about 50 litre, so find a filter that pumps at least 500 litre/hour.

PS: my fish hasn't got a name yet as does my other fishies

Ok thank you.Il have to ask my dad to help me look for one as im still a little confused and have no idea how to look for one online
