New Goldfish Owner

Hi ballpark402
I hope you will get a larger tank in the next couple of months...When i
forst stated out, i too had a one inch fish...he quickly grew to 6 inches
within that year,,,, 20 gallons is fine for 2 golds

How do I fix things if the fins appear to be getting worse? I think
the back fins may be starting to droop. I tested the water tonight and
I got
Chlorine: 0ppm
Nitrite: between 0 and .5ppm
Hardness 120
PH 7.2

Thats all the test told me. I can check amonia later but I think the
fact that there are no nitrites that the amonoia must be low. I would
think the tank is cycling by now.

When I change the water I try to vacuum the gravel as much as I can. I
do find a lot of crap in it, but I thought most of it was poop. I will
start feeding them a whole lot less. They started a trick where they
swim to the top of the tank in a corner when they saw me so I would
have to feed them a little. (2 - 3 times a day)

I use water filterd from a brita filter and I usually don't let it sit
to long. I just make sure its the same temp as the tank.

Thanks for all your help.
