Well then you should know what ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are. If you don't know what your parameters are, you should try to invest in a liquid test kit.

Is your goldfish showing any other signs if illness?

 

[sammcneil]

no rely my dad says that it is scared

 

[Aces11]

Could be. How long have you had him again? I think he just needs time to adjust.

 

[sammcneil]

i just got him today

 

[Aces11]

Ok well then give him a day or two and see if his behavior changes.

 

[sammcneil]

ok ya my other fish was a lot diffrent because it eat pellets but this 1 eats only 2

 

[Aces11]

2 what? Pellets? Not all fish are the same. Like I said you have to let him adjust.

 

[sammcneil]

sorry forgot that ya pellets

 

[sammcneil]

You went right with the tank size, however considering the tank isn't cycled and you put a goldfish in it isn't a good sign at all. Your going to have a lot of work ahead of you, I suggest getting the API freshwater liquid test kit. Until you get that I would do 50-75 percent water changes per day to keep ammonia low.
