I think I need all the help I can get. My grandson recieved a 1 gal tank and a black moor and 2 fan tail goldfish as a present. I thought the tank was too small so i bought a 29 gal tank, 40 gal whisper filter, 40lbs of gravel and a plecostomus.
I set this tank up about 3 weeks ago and unfortunately we lost all 3 goldfish to fungus. I would like to get more freshwater fish and make it safe for the pleco (gus). I bought paper test strips and the readings are horrible (as high as the paper goes except nitrates)
ph-8.4
kh-300
hardness-300
nitrite-10
nitrates-20
How can I fix the water (1st goal)? What kind of fish and how many should I get as Gus is a meany head to goldfish?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this grandma doesnt want to hurt anymore of our fishy friends
