System Fish
what is the best filtration system for a 55 gal tank that has fancy goldfish and some tropical fish?
Goldfish has more waste than other fishes, but I saw that in Petsmart they mixed some goldfish with tropical fish so I ask them if I could do the same in my tank and they reply ,no. They could do it because they have a better filtration system. Well what is a good system for this? I have already mix the gold fish with tiger barbs, zebras and a guppy> They have been living in harmony for a week now. What is the best filter system, canister or whisper jet that attaches to the tank or both. I read that current is not good for the fish also. Tom
There are more reasons then filtration as why not to mix them. Temperature is one - you can't keep both types at their ideal temperature, which means one, the other, or both are not really being kept at their best, even if its enough for them to 'survive'.
The other reason is behaviour - they speak very different languages. Lots of things can work when the fish are all small, but as your goldfish grows up you will find it is not going to work so well.
For filtration, it's not the type of filtration that matters, it's how much of it. Brands are brands and they all work fine. All you need is one suitable to the size of your tank.

My filter on my tank broke, will my fish die w/o a filter system overnight?
My filter wasnt working well, and I had a missing fish. I pulled out the filter to discover that it had sucked up the fish. After about an hour, I successfully cleaned the dead fish out of the filter. Now, my filter isnt working. I've been playing with it for a couple hours now, and every now and again, it starts to work, but then stops. Its late, and I cannot get another filter system tonight. Can my fish live overnight and all day tomorrow w/o a filter system? I do have an air blower blowing oxygen into the tank. and incase of emergence's or power outages, I have a battery operated oxygen blower, but its way too loud to leave on at night. Will my fish die? What should I do?
I have a regular oxygen blower going, AND i have a battery operated one ALSO. 
So i'm gathering i'm fine overnight, as long as their is a bit of movement. I just got these fish 4 days ago, and the water is cloudy and still adjusting, which was also a cause for concern...
The fish will be fine with just an airpump overnight. You might want to check the impeller (the propeller that sits below the tube that goes into the water) - it sounds like you might have broken or bent some of the plastic teeth. If so, you might only need to replace this part, rather than the entire filter.
If the impeller seems to be okay, make sure you have all the parts between it and the intake tube put back correctly if you removed them while cleaning.
Lastly, try putting the filter (filled with water) on the tank and plug it in, taking out the intake tube, and gently moving the impeller with a pencil - this may get it started. Just be careful when putting the intake tube back that it doesn't hit the impeller and cause it to stop.
The cloudiness is probably not a cause for too much concern - your tank is cycling - building up a bacterial population. See this for more info about the cloudiness: http://www.fishlore.com/CloudyWater.htm

In Mystic, CT, I saw an honor system fish market! The fishermen come in every day and leave their catch, you take what you want and leave your money. pretty amazing. that shit would not fly in NYC.
