I have had my 70litre (I believe this is about 18 gallons?) tank for just
over a year, with 3 goldfish in it. I had the fish previous to this for a
couple of years in a small tank which they had clearly outgrown.
At the time, they were quite small and it was fine, but as they have ...

I have 3 goldfish (3-4 yr old), and since yesterday they've been staying
together at the bottom of the tank and refused to eat. The only visible
symptoms I saw this morning were on the red fantail. Its fins, which are

we're now the unexpected owners of another Goldfish.
Anyway, I have a spare 10 gallon and can get New Fish started in there. My

I woke up this morning to see the 5 runchus eyes were coder with white layer
over their lens.I immediately do a 100% water change and cleanup the

Can anyone suggest a way to soften my water? Just had it tested and
seemingly my water is too hard to introduce fish yet. My pH, flouride etc is
all find but my water is needing softened?
Thanks!

I've got a Waterhome 5 (5 gallon) tank and I've recently added a Hydor Ario1
airpump.
It seems to have helped my algae problem and the fish seem a lot brighter.
I have noticed though, with the light on there are a lot of bubbles

OK folks this may be a silly question but is there
such a thing, that will "hoover" the gravel but pump
back any water taken ?
 Whenever I change the water (40% every two

Hi all, I just found this newsgroup.....my ten gallon tank has three
goldfish in it.  No matter how many different chemicals I've tried, the
water gets murky and green after the second or third day of a water change.
I've tested the ph and so far that seems fine.  I put a 20-40 ...
