Fish Fanatic
Ok, in posting this im going to seem like a bad fish keeper but please bear in mind that this is only a tempary tank till my big one is up and running fine.
I have a small Gussie Goldfish Starter Kit tank. Ive looked all over the internet and on the box and it fails to say how many liters and gallon the tank is so the best I can do is give you the hight (20cm) and diameter (26cm). The kit included the tank, a fake plant that I have replaced with a live one, gravel and de-cloinater (sorry for spelling). It said on the de-clorinator that I was to add 4-5 drops then wait 2 hours before adding fish. Which I did. One small Shub. A day later I went to pets at home in Nottingham and they told me to buy a filter for the tank. They recommended a upto 20gal filter. Which I purchaced and set up. That was on Sunday sorry. Tonight I left the house at half 5 to go to work and the Shub was fine. Came back at 1 and ot his fins have white spot. Wether its my lack of skill as a fish keeper but im blaming the filter. I think the tank is 2 small for a filter and all I needed to do was regular water changes as advised when I brought the tank. The power comming from the filter is too strong and causing a contsant current within the tank which maybe adding stress to my Shub.
Any help for the cause of the whitespot and any help with the liters and gallons of my tank will greatly be appreciated.
As I said, I know having a shub in a tank that size is bad and its just for afew weeks until my dads tank s up and runnig properly.
Sorry I couldnt be more help with Ammonia and Nitrate levels.
