I didn't get upset because of your advice. I know that it is true advice, and the only real solution. It's just taking 4 goldies out of the tank is out of the question because then my tank looks empty. Like I said before, the goldies are only temp until I can get the funds together to stock my tank with tropical fish. 1 goldie is being kept for my son, and the other 4 are going to good homes with some friends of mine. Within a month, I will be doing a warm water fishless cycle, then stocking the tank with tropical fish, so I just wanted to know what I could do to lessen the algae load until then.
On another topic, for a 30 gallon tank, what fish do you reccomend? I am kind of a novice, and want to have a nice looking tank with beautiful fish, but I don't want to overstock and have the same algae problems I am having now. I don't trust my LFS to guide me, because they told me in the past that 24 goldfish would be perfectly fine in a 10g tank....Needless to say all those fish died. I don't want a repeat of that, so I'm asking the people here to give me some advice so I don't needlessly kill anymore fish.
