Hi. I'm very concerned about one of our GF. It struggles to swim, eat or even stay afloat. He occasionally moves around, including jumping straight up out of the water! He'll swim briefly, and then just slide across the bottom of the tank. I haven't seen his eyes move for a while, and he lays on...

Hi so I noticed that my goldfish had a large bump near its tail on his right side. He is also upside down and can't seem to get right side up no matter how hard he tries. I have tried feeding him peas, it's been almost 2 weeks, but nothing seems to be helping the bump go away any help?

I lost a common goldfish to high nitrates a year ago. Since then I've been trying to get the nitrates under control (unsuccessfully). I have 2 goldfish, a 5 inch common and a 3 inch fantail and they were in a 10 gallon tank. They both just sat around on the bottom of the tank most of the time and...

Are goldfish cannibals? I haven't seen them eating each other but I started out with 40 in a stock tank and am down to 9 and holding. I wonder if I should rig up a way to aerate the water? I have enough water running in the tank to keep it fresh but the biggest is always at the end of the hose...

Hi there, and thanks in advance for any help you'll be so kind to give me. :) I have a male goldfish, since May 2004. When I bought him, there were 5 other goldfish in the tank, three of them already sick; after some time those three died, and he remained with the other fish (a female "sarasa"...

i have recently purchased another 5 comet goldfish, when I first put them in the tank they swam around, after 1 day I woke up to find 3 of them lying on their sides, not looking too healthy, so I pulled them from the tank and took the water up to be tested. The pet shop tested the water and said...

One thing I've noticed in my research is that different plants that one might include in an aquarium require different amounts of light. The usual measure is "watts per gallon" which strikes me as a rather shaky measure since it produces different light intensities for a wide, shallow tank...

I bought at Home Depot 2x 18" Philips NATURAL SUNSHINE 15W, 5000K lights for my 20 gallon tank. Cost me $6.79 each. It has a yellowish color light in the tank, quite natural. Also, they sell for plant growing 18" light with special spectrum, may be I should've get that one? It had much...

Dying fantail, up-side down on bottom of tank for five days, and breathing hard. I've changed the water twice, added 2 g salt each time to a twelve gallon replacement to a 20 gallon tank, and added a teaspoon of anti-ick medication, although there is no sign of ick. There was initially a sheen...

Hi, My last goldfish fantail died after living for a good 7 years. I kept it in a large 100 litre tank. (The rest of its companions perished a year ago). The tank measures 70cm x 40cm x 40cm (25inch x 15i x 15i roughly) I kept the tank empty for a few days then went and decided to buy...

I aquired a tetratec internal tank filter which I have installed in my coldwater tank. I received no instructions with it,it works Ok ,but how do you makeit emit bubbles??? It sends out a stream of water via the filter wool, but has no bubbles to liven up the tank. Thanks for any replies.

My 14-yea-old son has a five-gallon tank with six goldfish in it. They're growing, so I know we need a larger tank. However, here is my question, and I really need some help here! The water is usually murky, and his dad and I think he's over feeding them. When he's gone, such as on a recent trip,...

Have just seen some very tiny black fish 4 mm or so in length in the garden pond. I think they are goldfish babies? I thought i would trap them in a 'bottle trap' and put them in the house aquarium that has three goldfish about 6cm in size. Would the small fish be safe or would they be likely...

We have had a very small tank empty of fish for several months, but we have kept the little filter pump going continously. Recently we bought three small gold fish and used half the water that came with the fish and half the water already in the tank. The water has gone cloudy. Can you...
