Is a Biorb right for me2007-11-24 23:37:11

Upon further reseach, I've discovered that the fish requires a lot of oxygen, so probably if you keep one or two in there you'll be okay. We've raised fish before, but not in a biorb. If you need more information try this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/goldfish..

Sorry if I wasn't much help.

No. Biorbs are not good for even the smallest tropical fish, let alone fancy goldfish that grow very large and are very messy. If you've ever seen pictures of full grown fancys even in the largest Biorb model, the poor things have no room to move, especially since the tanks are round not rectangular.

I agree with Oohfeeshy. I had a BiOrb for nearly a year and got rid of it because they are just so hard to maintain. They're fine just after you've cleaned them out and done a water change, but give it a week and it, of course, needs a water change, but also a full cleaning out. And you can't use gravel cleaners in them. You need to take all the fish out, rinse all rock filter media and do a COMPLETE water change. Mine wasn't in direct sunlight, and I didn't keep many fish in there, but it got very filthy, very quickly. I, personally, would stick to conventional tanks with proper filters. Biological filters are going backwards in fishkeeping by about 15 years, which is exactly how the BiOrb works. Stick with your conventional methods, it'll make your life a lot easier!

They come with air pumps and under-gravel filters. The round shape means that there is constant circulation without any dead areas that you get in other shapes, making them more efficient so they are a very good choice for health if you plan on a smaller tank.

I have to say I had one and all my fish died in one of them.
