I am selling my tank, and the potential buyer will be putting goldfish in.
I don't know what to advise them in regards to substrate for goldfish.
The tank currently has akadama, so the eaaiest solution would be to leave that in.
I have very little experience with goldfish, but I have seen them sucking up and spitting out gravel. It appears to be playful.
So I assume akadama is a bad idea as it will crumble and the dust could get messy.
I've also seen people advise against substrate for goldfish, for ease of cleaning or for fear of them choking on it.
That seems a shame, like it's depriving them. I could be anthropomorphising
though.
Any thoughts or experience?
