Cp's Tank And Filtration Setup Options

[Hamad]

Ok so by that you mean a cycled tank can't be a permanent home for quality goldfish?

[CP]

You keep them alive, but you do not bring the best out of them.

[Hamad]

So you mean it would maintain how they are right now but there'll be no further improvements unless they are shifted between greenwater and blue water every several months, correct?

Sorry if I'm annoying you with this, but what you're saying goes against the belief of 100's of thousands of other hobbyists so it needs to be clear, and I simply want to learn from you cause obviouly you know better and had great results that validates your point.

No, it would not even maintain,especially the colouration.I noticed that fishes 'harvested' back into my tank from outdoor ponds generally loses it colouration, or the 'luster',after 3 months indoor.The scales will lose the shine, the colours at the tails and fins will also start to fade.

But when transferred back outdoors, it will regain it brilliance and luster, and bulk.
