errr 12gallons is fine for 1 goldie, assuming its not a Koi, Oscar or
Comet.

How often do you do a water change?

Like Dinky said, probably rotten food. If you have a gravel vac, vac it
up.
Either way, get it out quick!


Well..it would be ok as a bare minimum size for a fancy Goldy..no Comet or
common or Koi of course.
But think about it..a fully gown fan tail in a 12g tank? Not much room at
all.
No swimming around...more like turning around.
It's fine for now...but in the long run it's just not much room.

Thanks for the reply - I see you also hit on my '12 gallon perfect fish'
post, so you probably know I've taken the goldfish to a neighborhood fish
store and plan to 'shop' this weekend


Yeppers. = )
I read and reply without reading ahead.
I usually don't do that when I've not read the board for a few days....sorry. =
