I am a novice into fish keeping(a week) need advice. Guess should have
done my research before getting into it. Too late for that now. Have 2
goldfishes (3 1/2 Inches) in a 15 Ltr Fishbowl. I was told by the shop
attendant, this will be enough. Is it ?
The kit came with a few water treatment chemicals: 1) granulated water
conditioner (does not say what it contains, but its a blue salt) 2)
Stress Coat (for dechlorination) 3) Stress Zyme (again for
dechlorination & development of biological filter). Is there anything
else I need for water treatment? I am in Melbourne if it helps.
Its only been a week, but the water seems dirty and cloudy. I was told
to change water every week, but I have changed it twice already. Is it
normal for the water to be dirty that quickly, or is it a sign of the
fishes in stress?
Thanks in advance.
you are over feeding your fish,, feed the fish twice a week this is why the water seems dirty and cloudy
, the treatments are fine to use.
the bowl is too small for 3 fish and you need a filter in the tank,would you like to swim in **** and **** water????
