There is a bacteria that was somehow introduced into the tank. It's only killing the goldfish. Sending out a water sample for analysis as all the parameters are fine. Plenty of people keep goldfish in warm waters. Many of the Fancy varieties actually prefer it. I keep my tank around 75. I have...

They literally all died within hours of this post. I've never seen fish die so quickly. I'm devastated. All my other fish are fine including the Betta fish that lived in that tank. I'm going to treat the tank for 10 days, do another huge water change and then just let it cycle for a few more...

It's a 40 gallon tank. 0 Nitrites, 0 Nitrates, ph 8 (always has been for them), very hard water(always has been for them), Chlorine 0, ammonia 0. I'm down to two goldfish. The others have all succumbed in less than 12 hours. I've added extra airstones, some aquarium salt, and Microbe-Lift. I've...

I tested the water before putting them in and found nothing harmful. I'm testing again this morning.

Alright, everyone. So I got a bigger tank for my goldfish, let it cycle, but obviously did something wrong. I moved my goldfish into the bigger tank and woke up this morning to them covered in white mucus, fins clamped, and they're all just lethargic. What do I do? I love these guys and have...

These guys have definitely grown since my last post and for sure look like sunfish.

They really do kind of look like a sunfish. I'll keep everyone updated as they grow.

Just one of them picks on the other. The slightly bigger one with the smoother looking fins. It bites at the other one and chases it at times. Then there are times they are fine and just hang out. They completely ignore the gouramis like they aren't even there.

A closer picture of each one.

You think so? I may just have to wait until they're bigger. If so, they're in the right tank since I've got Dwarf Gouramis in there already.

I'm new to this forum. I currently have two aquariums with the addition of a huge tank in the future for my goldfish and/or a pond. I haven't really decided just yet. I prefer fresh-water fish keeping and really enjoy caring for and expanding the health and life of my fish. A friend jokingly...
