Roan Wonder Location: SW MO	We have 1000 gallon stock tanks & bought gold fish to keep in them. Do I need to feed them or is what they eat cleaning the tank enough?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 582 Location: Wherever They Send Me	I might have to try this at my barn...I live in Louisiana, will the water get too hot and kill them? We use white plastic 50 gallon drum type things (yes that is the technical term, hehe).

I'm Cooler Offline Posts: 6387 Location: Pacific Northwest	Goldfish are for eating mosquitos, not "cleaning" the tank, which a lot of people seem to think lol that being said, we don't feed ours. We have them in all the stock tanks for the cows. Ours have always done really well. The only time they die is if the automatic waterer freezes and then the tank freezes before we catch it in time and the cows tip the tank over.
