Manris, the Goldfish will easily grow out of the size range that SMB can eat, both in body length and body height. Godlfish can actually grow to be larger than the SMB. GSH on the other hand only get to 10" maximum, and usually stay smaller than that. They are more slender in shape than a same length goldfish, and have different eating habits - they won't muddy the water.

Also, in regards to the Hydrated Lime. No applicators license should be needed.
