Hi,
I’m looking for some advice about keeping my tank water cleaner for longer.
I have a 120 liter tank with 5 goldfish that are each about 4 inches long.
I have 2 internal filters in the tank but I still have to replace most of the tank water every week. The filters suck water through sponges which get filled up pretty quickly. I don’t have an air pump as the fish don’t seem to need one.
Do I have too many fish?
I’ve seen a biological filter called AquaClear, will putting one of these in help?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
AquaClear filters are ones I’ve been using for years they work great. They come in a variety of sizes suitable for any aquarium you may have. In my book the more filtartion you have in your tank the better. Instead of getting a smaller filter then does your size tank why not go a size up. This will help maintain excellent water quality and will help reduce your maintenance. Anothe roption you can think is cannister filters. They work great and can easily be hidden away if. You can also backwash your filter cleaning out any debris. Works great!
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Jamie Boyle

Hi Jamie,
HELP! One of the goldfish in my care (it actually belongs to my 6 yr old nephew, or the 4 yr old, Im not sure which is which!- nonetheless, this goldfish is the bigger of the two. They live in a much too SMALL bowl with each other. (I just read how/why bowls are quite bad for the fish) The bigger goldfish, who has been ‘bottom heavy’ since they got it– bulgy, etc in the body area– has been exhibiting really strange behavior. It frequently swims upside down- does rolls, or seems to just.. roll inadvertently to the side/almost upside down. It also seems to float to the top of the bowl without trying, as if it cannot keep itself down/in the middle of the bowl. The last weird thing it does, literally, it will rest itself for alarmingly long periods of time on the top of the bowl, just motionless, with the top half of his/her(?)body poking out of the water. As if it’s exhausted or something. Most recently (as of this AM, matter of fact) the latest thing I noticed were these weird cloud/cotton like tufts floating in the bowl and attached to its tail. (what the WHAT??) I am very worried about all this, and I am certain this is NOT the normal behavior of a healthy goldfish. I would HATE to see anything happen to it (or the other one) Besides MY being sad, my young nephew would most likely be a bit freaked.
Any advice you might provide would be greatly appreciated,
Best, Susan L.

Our goldfish seems to have blood pooling in it’s belly. My son (it’s his fish) said he noticed a small red spot on his belly about 5 days ago. We left for vacation and when we got back, his whole underbelly looks like it’s bleeding. The fish is acting fine, eating, swimming normally, etc. What could this be and how do we fix it - if possible.

Hi, my name is Ava and I’m with TheReeftank.com, an online community for reef aquarists. We wanted to put your site on our Recommended Reading list but not sure how to get in touch to let u know of a few more details. I was wondering if someone could e-mail me back at Charismaqueen100@gmail.com.
Thank you.

Why do they kill each other and how can I prevent further murders of their own.

Our gold fish is getting too large for our tank. He is a big fish. Is it possible to put the goldfish in a creek or lake somewhere?

My concerned is the same as Monica Schreiber’s: Our goldfish seems to have blood pooling in it’s belly. I noticed a small red spot on his belly and about it’s gills around its underfins, both fish underbellies looks like they’re bleeding. The fish is eating, and swimming normally, but both are spending more time staying stationary at the bottom of the acquarium something they have not done before. What could this be and how do we fix it - if possible.
