We've inherited a 70-litre aquarium from our neighbours who are moving overseas and can't take their fish with them. They say the fishes are about three years old. In the tank there's an oranda (with its warty hat), a yellow plec and a snail. They did have another goldfish who died a few months ago. There's also a live plant, part buried in a shallow layer of gravel, a filter and a light.
I've not kept fish before but have read a couple of books and a lot of internet stuff about basic care. However, I'm wondering if there is space or whether the oranda needs a buddy? If so what species would be best? Also I think it needs some decoration/hiding places for them - can I just pop one in or does it need pretreating at all?
Thanks in advance
