Would this have effected it so fast though? 70litres seems like a lot for 1 goldfish that is still small i have to say, i know that will anger a lot of people on here no doubt, but a 70 litre tank is not far off 3 times what i have now which i have never seen any goldfish in. Im not saying its...

I changed the water weekly, sometimes it would go a little over this, not completely accurate, as i was using a jug, id change around 50% of the water most of the time, sometimes only about 25%. I used tap safe everytime. There is a filter yes, and the tank size, going by a calculater i just...

Just a general question, my goldfish died yesterday, and im not entirely suprised as he/she had been acting very strangely for the last week+. Nothing had really changed from the regular routines, i was still doing weekly water changes, feeding the same food etc, however somethign definately...

That great, just the kind of answer i was looking for. The water isnt cloudy no, the gravel i wouldnt say was very dirty a little but nothing id say to worry about, the boy who suggested it i dont think he knows what hes talking about, he said his father used to do it and is a bit of a know all...

Im sure if i tried harder id find the answer to my question/questions on here somewhere, but i thought why not start afresh!? My tank seems to be fully settled now, and my goldfish is doing well. HOWEVER, i have been doing partial water changes every week/couple weeks since ive had him (since...

Cheers Alchemist, Yes im going to bring the filter over, but I am considering getting a bigger one, while u swapped the old gravel over how long did u have to wait before the water had settled enough to put your fish in? Its just one goldfish, but i am considering adding a few Danios, leapard or...

Hello all, A while back I bought a fishtank for my goldfish and he's doing fine, however i have recently decided to upgrade his tank to a bigger one, i was wondering if anyone could help in telling me the best way to go about it. What I mean is as this tank is about twice the size of his...

My 50cm guess was way off, i cant remember exact now but it was thirty something by twenty something, possibley by eighteen.

I have checked and the tank is indeed 13 litres, true it is a small tank, but will it be big enough for two goldfish? One Common Goldfish and one Ryukin. Sadly ive learnt the hard way it was two small for 3, but going back to the place i bought the fish from (not the tank) the man who served me...

I didnt realise you needed a tank THAT big for goldfish!!! Im sure you hear that a lot on here, provided my estimates of the tank are right then, a quick google calculation: 35 US gallons = 132.489412 litres tell me I need a tank roughly ten times the size of the one I have now!!! What kind of...

So you think its probably best I take them back until ive cycled the tank properly? Will the tank be too small for 2 fish then? What about 1? ...also, if it is too small, what fish would you suggest would be ok in there? Preferabley cold water fish?

Im in work at the moment, so i wont be able to check till tonight, but looking at some online pet shops I have a feeling it was a 13 litre tank. Perhaps 50 cm wide. Not completely sure. I'll check tonight, if those estimates are right though, would u say thats too small for two? Ive read its a...

Hello all, I recently decided to get some goldfish, i thought id done enough research but as I keep reading this is a very common mistake, i think my main problem would be the fact I mixed breeds, I bought 3 fish, a common goldfish, a black moor and what i think may be a Red Cap Oranda (his red...
