Comments from another site on keeping goldfish and angels together:
http://www.qeok.com/fish/898-qeok.html

Well i bought today from the petstore 1 small pleco babies. and 2 babies angel fish one black and the other white they keep on schooling together. So funny. BTw way he told me i should add salt to my tank so i did. I told him they tell me not to add salt for goldfish they will die. He told me on his respnsibility. So i did as i ws told. Thanks BYe

So Paul............. do you know what kind of a pleco you bought yet?

"on his responsiility." Well that's good, if you ever need to take him up on it.

Does any one has a website to see a chart of compatibilities

Everything you need to know about any fish & compatibility is on this site, like I told you before, remember? Just go to "profile" & also "search" & type in whatever you want to know about.

Paul thank you for answering my questions now we know exactly what you have as far as a tank is concernrd that is a very good start.
Paul with all the effort and advice you have been so thoughtfully given you still went out and did the opposite again.
Forget about your friends tank we are all talking about your tank and trying to help you. Also you LFS sounds like a total loss go elsewhere.
Paul I hope in the near future we do not hear HELP as it will happen again please listen to all the advice given here on FP where there excellent advice has been given to you.
If you see I am here PM me as I would like to chat to you.

OK thank you very much. I waiting fro my goldfish to die so i can restock it. Coz the LFS want take them from me. Everyday morning i see one dead. I still have 3 more i am waiting for them to die so i can restock it. My angel fish r doing excellent with the pleco. Btw i am feeding them pellets they are a little bit tall and brownish color. When they all die i will ask u to give me some stocking information. Thanks

How can i make algea grow in my tank. I have a rock in the center of my tank a big one and colorfull. made speial for aquariums. If i keep the light on more than 8 hour does it make algea grow up. faster and better. If not what can i do, because i am not finding algea wafers for my pleco.

When they all die i will ask u to give me some stocking information.

To find out about stocking, go to "search" & type in "stocking". All you need to know is there.

Go to the "profile" section also & read up on plecos.......... maybe there is a substitute for algae you can feed him. Also go to search & type in plecos & read the threads about them. It might tell in there.

How can i make algea grow in my tank.

You participated in a thread on that very subject. Go to search & type in, How to grow algae, & it will come up. And no you will not get algae to grow just by leaving your lights on more than 8 hrs.

Y'all, I think this guy must be some kind of joke. Like this thread can not seriously be real. HE IS WAITING FOR HIS FISH TO DIE SO HE CAN RESTOCK?! And he has all these potentially huge fish in a 33 and a 10 gallon tank? He seems to only want to buy the most ridiculously huge and inappropriate fish he can find. I am horrified.
Maybe he will understand this...
Paul, you fish wrong for you tank. Wrong fish!
No buy more fish!

Seriously, this guy is either pulling our legs , or has some mental issues. He said he has one goldfish dying each day, and now only has 3 left. That means he had four? five? six? goldfish? But if you notice, in the first thing he wrote it only says he has 2 goldfish. Just doesn't seem to be adding up. He's probably from another fish site and is trying to annoy folks on here... that's my guess.

Well, he did steal that shark thread he made from here. I think he should just be banned so he'll stop wasting our time.

Yup, if you stop feeding the troll, he'll go away.

OMG! I'm surprised no one said anything in that thread. That is crazy...and here I thought the poor guy just needed some fish help.

OK. I dont want to kill my fish i was just kidding. I love my fish they r gr8 i love them all. Everything is fine. But u didnt answer my question about how can i grow algea in my tank, I meant that if my fish die i will be changing the stocking, i am sorry if u understand it by mistake but i didnt meant like this. Everything is fine. today it was there first eating time for my 2 new baby angels. Btw my lfs he told me to add salt to them now they r dying one after one. But the angel do need salt. but i shouldnt added salt to the tank it is making my goldfish to die. I am very very very sad

Angels do not need salt. I have 2 angels in my 55g that are healthy and thriving without salt. Your LFS is just trying to make money off of you. I would not add any more salt to that tank.

We told you not to keep angelfish and goldfish together...are they in the same tank? These fish have 2 different temperature requirements and both grow large. They shouldn't be housed together.

Like everyone has said, we are trying to help you. We aren't your LFS that is trying to make money off of you, we are just people who care about fish. You have not listened to much we have told you. This makes us not want to offer anymore help to you, since we are really just talking to ourselves here.

Why are you wanting to grow algae, for a pleco? If so, you can just buy algae wafers that you put in for it every night. Having too much light over a tank will sometimes grow algae. Sometimes though, when you want algae, it won't grow.

*Kristin*

To grow algae in your tank, just move it as close to a window as possible. It may grow, it may not. You will just have to wait & see.

Too bad about the dying fish, but you were told not to listen to the fish store.

You were told here that angels do not need salt, but if you want to eventually kill them, keep adding it to the tank. They are your fish, you can kill them if you want to, by not following the advice given here.

You would not be very very very sad if you followed the advice given here. You are making yourself sad.

Paul
How about answering that thread.

Well for sure i am not going to listen t o my petstore anymore he is an idiot. Now all the old fish that i use to have r dying. And the new one are doing gr8. My angel r very cute and the pleco r good but i lost on i dont know y did he dead i found him dead under the rock. Btw he told that i must submerge all the heater in the tank, but i cant. The only part which is over the water is from the light and up. But it is fine. What can make my old fish die. I am goiing to do a water test. I will go to him a wip him and fight with him.

Hi,
Actually, you need to submerse the heater to the water
line on the glass tube, or follow the directions that came
with it.
They must be "up to their necks" for the thermostat to
correctly sense the water temperature. If not, then the
ambient air will also affect the heater's turn on and off
points.
Additionally, the water is what is used to cool the glass.
While it is relatively immune to heat, it will crack if
the heater coils are on and the air above is cold.

Paul,

I just read your thread...... I am SHOCKED.
Throughout this thread I have seen YOU ignoring peoples whole- hearted advice that they took the time out of their busy day to type up just for the sake of you. I have seen you say things such as " waiting for my fish to die so I can restock", and " what can make my old fish die?"

These are truly cruel, inhumane words. I really dont think you should have any right to keep fish anymore, but I am not the judge of that...its just my opinion.

BUT I am glad that you stopped taking advice from the LFS guy.

That is all.

Thanks everyone for your advice and help in this thread. I know you all did your best.

I don't like the anger that is flaring though.

^_^
