Ok, I got a real small baby Oranda
goldfish on Feb 11th. The lady said he would be fine in my 10 gallon with my 30 gallon filter about seven months... I don't know whats wrong! He's just lying around at the bottom of the tank most of the time or hiding out in his little house in the aquarium (sometimes floating oddly).. I don't notice any odd spots or anything on him...but it's also hard to tell because he's a calico goldi. The tank is clean..I've been doing 20% water changes three times a week,
nitrite is 0ppm and
ammonia is 0ppm also... I did not check the
nitrate because last I check it was I think5.0 and because the Ammonia and Nitrate were 0 I did not know if I should have checked it. The only new thing I have done to the tank was added the Vita Chem.. oh, and the water conditioner I use when I do water changes is Prime, which says it detoxifies... Nitrate & Nitrite.. So, actually I'm going to check the Nitrate. Then edit this and post the readings..
and he's breathing hard... I forgot to add that.
Am I just being over paranoid..or what? Please help me.. ;_:
Edit: His Nitrates are 20.. I don't know if that's bad or good?!?! It seems to high on the color thingy..chart.. What should I do
