Goldfish forum is hard to find

[Psychlist1972]

FWIW, this forum was hard to find. I doubt most folks know that goldfish are under cyprinids. I definitely didn't. I suggest changing the category to include (Goldfish) or something like that.

Since goldfish are such a commonly bought first fish, thought this might be important

You may want to try posting the suggestion in the "forum announcements/suggestions" forum so that you can make sure that Mike sees it

Thanks @MissMTS I moved the thread there

Maybe put a goldfish section under pond fish? Since they really should be in a pond (or really big tank)?

This is a great suggestion, especially since it's one of the most commonly kept fish. First time fishkeepers most likely would not know to look under cyprinids. I changed it to read: "cyprinids (including goldfish)" on the forum home page. Thanks for pointing this out!
