I got two aquaclear 300 filter on my 30 gallon tank (bare bottom) with 4 goldfish.

How often should I clean the sponges in the fitler media ? I am always worrying that those trapped poos in the sponges would foul my water after deteriorating over time.

thx

take a photo with fish in water, not in your hand please. sorry, but chinese fish got such thing as oya ? the fish looks pretty small for a 3 yrs old fish. I used to measure butt from mouth to penduncle, so your fish around 4" in size.

heh I ordered this one from japan, might have been stunted as it came over here, was really stressed when I first got it. In any case do you think it is a nice strand as a demekin?

BTW the fish is in green water, and I don't want to stress it any more with PH jumps by switching the water, I need him for hand breeding
