oh gosh you need to upgrade your tank to at least a 60g for 4 goldfish! >.<

It all depends on the size of your goldfish and crayfish are really aggressive they can kill your golfdfish. I think you should get a separate 2 gallon 5 gallon holding tank then put it in a crayfish tank with 1 other crayfish or a crab... that some advice. Oh also u can feed the crayfish baby minnows.

10 gal is already too small for the fish you have, since goldfish are extremely messy.

It depends on the volume of water and the room temperature. This heater will easily maintain a 10gal tank at 80 even when the room temperature is around 65. I am sure there is some mathematical equation that you can use to calculate what it could do in a gallon or a quart.

Most likely not good tank mates, Comet goldfish get quite large, and Koi get even larger, unless they have many hiding places these little shrimp would probably become a meal. These shrimp are best kept with smaller tank mates, tetras (not buenos aires tetras) guppies, etc. or in a tank all by themselves

I doubt it, but I don't know what type of turtles you have. I'm certain my Red Eared Sliders would eat them as my RES try to eat everything in the tank (even the sand). Although, I've been able to keep alive with my RES some tinfoil barbs, and a pleco, but they were with the turtles as babies and are all large now. These crayfish are bite size to a turtle, and an expensive meal. I even have a food that includes dried shrimp in it that are about size of mini crayfish.

It's a really nice little tank. Any fish will do great but it is very small. I think if you did somethinglike a neon or molly you could have up to 4 or 5.

I had a crayfish and it ate my danio and they move fast. I would not chance it.

Frankly, with a 10G tank you should just be doing weekly water changes of at least 25-30%. You can't really "let things go" with a tank that size and it's unlikely that you would have ammonia spikes with such frequent water changes. I have a little 5.5 gallon with a couple of albino cory cats and I use a test strip every once in a blue moon, but the water is always fine because I do weekly changes. Am looking at this kit for my 125 gallon tank, but would bother for a tiny tank.

Yes, it should be good for a 40 gallon tank. I have a 29 gallon with a Whisper 30-60, but I have other accessories.

Yes it will work. I use it on multiple 10 gallon tanks when i acquire new fish to minimize disease exposure.

Yes, very well! I have a 55 gal and its the best thing ive ever done for my tank. Plenty, but not too much for a 40 gal

Any crayfish that gets over four inches long needs 20 gallons as a bare minimum. Proper recommendations for these is 30 gallons, but 20 will suffice. Nothing smaller than 10-15 gallons should be used for any other type of smaller crayfish. Electrics can get 5-8 inches, 6in being the average. So for the NEED, 20 gallons, for preferable to the animal, 30 gallons.

We change the filter in our 10-gallon tank once a month. We only have two goldfish, but they are quite large. If your tank begins to stink or look cloudy before a month is up, I would change it. Good luck!

No. They absolutely cannot live in the same tank. A blue crayfish can grow to about 5 - 6 inches long. An orange dwarf crayfish will be lucky if it reaches 1 and 1/2 inches long. The blue crayfish is much more aggressive and will make a meal out of the dwarf crayfish.

I have it in a freshwater cichlid tank and it is ok. I would assume brackish would work also.

I would say these fish would be great tank mates. As long as they are not aggressive or bottom dwellers. The Shrimp like to hang out on the bottom. I would suggest if you don't have many plants that you also purchase some of the java moss for them to hide in and play between. We love trying to find them in our tank as they hide underneath the moss.

I am not sure but I would guess it would not hurt your shrimp. I did not use this to treat ich with my fish. I use this product when I get new fish. I add this to help prevent anything and any parasites the new fish might be carrying. I also don't know if this is the best thing to use for treating ich. Ich is bad. When I had an outbreak of ich, I used a specific treatment for ich plus raising the temperature of my tank and adding aquarium salt. Even after doing that Half of my fish died. I would recommend not waiting to receive this in the mail and as soon as possible go to a pet store or walmart and buy api ich treatment or something similar. Walmart carries a few kinds. The quicker the better. Don't forget to take out carbon in filter when using. Also I do not own goldfish and am not familar with them. There may be some things that differ with what I have said when treating goldfish. Good luck.

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!
