Seriously.. you only JUST realised your gravel was too thick? After ppl replying post after post.. that GRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR GOLDFISH.If you really hate the bare bottom or can't be stuffed doing sand, then dont have goldfish. its that simple really. OR go bare first, learn and gain more experience FIRST, then slowly adapt and change things to suit you and find out what works, what doesnt.I think its fine and normal to make mistakes while learning, but when you seem to be repeating the same mistakes... makes me wonder, what is the point of posting in the first place?Sorry if i sound mean, but think of it as 'tough love'. Fish should not have to suffer or die because you just like the 'look' of gravel tank.There are plenty of other types of fish, that having gravel will be more forgiving. Be mature about it, dont let your emotions cloud your judgement.A bare bottom tank can look absolutely stunning, you just have to be open to it.(Minus the sand if u dont like it)i wish you luck and i'm sure (hoping) you'll make the right decision.
