What is the tank size for the goldfish? I hope you're aware that a single goldfish needs atleast a 29 or 30 gallon tank.
Is it the 10gallon?

They have been known in the wild to catch very small fish. They honestly aren’t that fast with their pinchers. They are very fast however, in swimming.

I do not believe I have come across anyone on a forum from Welland until now. I was raised in Welland, we moved out west in 1967. That brings back memories indeed.

There are significant problems with the fish mentioned in post #1. Have you acquired these yourself, or did they come with the tank from someone?

And the cloudy water presumably is a question...any data you can give us will help. Water parameters (GH and pH especially), results of water condition tests for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate if any of these. How long has the tank been running, and how did you cycle it?
