Help With My Black Moor

[xaviersfish]

My Black Moor and two other goldfish have just started swimming like bats from hell. Will they soon slow down or are they simply freaked out by the water change Do I need to do a all night vigil?

How much water did you change?
How long has it been since the last one
What size tank do you have?

I have a 20 litre tank and I changed about a third. I think that they new water may have been a little warmer that the existing water.

Sorry I changed the water 8 days ago

For three goldfish you need at least a 40 gallon tank. 80 galllon filter.
They are massive waste producers.

Agree with wilder, the tank is way too small for 3 goldfish. As mentioned you need a 150 litre tank for 3 goldfish and double filtration due to the amount of waste they produce. I'd seriously look at rehoming then asap as there is only one way it will end and it wont be good.

In the meantime,

Have you got a test kit?

What are you test results for your tank water?

What chemicals do you add on water changes such as dechlorinators?
