Hi,
I have 2 small goldfish in a 15 litre tank. One fish is looking unwell
this morning. I believe he is a Comet as he has always had beautiful
long fins and tail. Today his tail is a lot shorter and a little bit
jagged. However, his other fins are fine. He normally has all his fins
fully out all the time, but today they aren't as much, his dorsal fin
is down a lot - possibly indiciating he isn't happy (?)........ brevity
snip!

============================
Each goldfish needs about 10 gallons of water to remain healthy and grow
normally. I'm not familiar with liters. Goldfish can reach a foot in
length. They are not small fish suitable for small tanks. Have you
checked the ammonia and nitrites levels since they're only in this new tank
for a month? Any partial water changes? What kind of filter are you using?
What is the PH and Hardness of the water? Water temperature? You didn't
give anyone much to go on.
