You could try turing your heat up a little bit more jacks seems to be more agressive when they are kept warmer

I’ve got almost a 2 year old breeding pair. They have had 2 broods. I recently tried the mirror trick to get the male going, but my male Jack has always been skid-dish. He darts around sometimes if he’s spooked and will just run right into the walls. He now has all the other fish acting the same way and I guess it’s because when he takes off it scares them. Anyways, the mirror didn’t work, he just looked at it and did nothing. I love him, but he’s a freakin sissy! Any suggestions?

Will the goldfish, while tearing the plant apart, eat the plastic? They probably won’t tear it to shreds or anything but it is good to know. Also, should the trash bag pieces you are going to be working with, be boiled or soaked in hot water?

Kimberly… any color trash bag should do. I’ve only used green myself but a combo of colors would be interesting. Thanks for submiting your question.

Should the trash bag be green or could I use black or white? However, the idea is a good one!
