Fish Fanatic
Hi, in my 70 litre (14 gallon) Tank I house 2 fish, A feeder fish and a fancy smaller breed of goldfish. I also have a mountain cloud (little pilot fish) and a, now dead sucking cat. They have been house in this tank since December of last year, and they are about 1 year old.
A week ago I noticed the fancy goldfish was looking sickly, hanging around near the bottom, gasping slightly. I checked the ammonia levels and there appeared to be ammonia, so I did a waterchange.
Today the sucking cat in the tank died. It appeared to have blood on it though so i'm not sure if it is just a coincidence. The tank water is slightly yellow so I can't be certain about the ammonia.
I have a dirty filter that I have for the biological side of things, i'm not sure if its a wise idea to change it, its a little overdue. Besides that i've got a powerful one running.
The fancy goldfish is looking sickly as ever and gasping, bad water conditions i'm sure. I'm going to do another water change and I might add some geoliquid (water conditioner)
If worst comes to worste they are going to take a trip to the doctor (great place that accept fish and quarantine them in emergency tanks)
I really hope this isn't too serious and I really don't want either of these fish to die! They have been through a lot and pulled through, I bought there tank especially for them
any advice would be greatly appreciated
