ya...those days when there wasn't that many filter options, those sponges with varies density really did great.  Tks for the input.

Also check your water source too. Unfiltered tap water do have sediment which may make the water to look cloudy & brownish under white fluorescent light.

yes siamese and ff shouldn't be in the tank at all... as to other algae eater, monitor them when your tank is clean, if they don't start to lick on your gf then it is good. I don't use any of them..safer!

No. Goldfish require clean water. Take note clean water, not clear water. Goldfish is not a hardy fish. They require water quality level like koi.

And the common trouble is usually people keep em in a small tank, and the smaller the tank, the harder it is to maintain good water parameters.

17in is barely 2 feet.. depending on the size of the fish, maybe 3 small small goldfish would be possible IMO.

For goldfish rearing, yes you can overstock your tank with goldfish, if you got superior filtration system that able to neutralize ammonia as fast as the fish produced(Mature fish tank), and also u got time to do more water change, filtration only to remove dangerous ammonia but water change still necessary.

In Our country heater is not required. Goldfish able to live in quite low or high temperature. Just to make sure the temperature did not crash and the fish will fine.(Temperature crash, maybe suddenly pour new water in fast pace and cause temperature up or down in short period)

Before start rear goldfish, learn about cycling fish tank water. Else you need to perform water change almost everyday until the fish tank water not smelly. Smelly fish tank water usually meaning high ammonia.

Sinking pellet always better for goldfish. No feeding high portion of food in single feeding. To increase fish size, feed fish by dividing to more time of feeding, but less portion each feeding to avoid swim bladder issue.

Cheers.
