So, about a month ago, I started having issues with my 20 gallon tank, nitrates and nitrites went high, so my Oranda goldfish started to suffer. I made 40-50% daily water changes, with prime and bacteria, and I thought she was doing better. Iam already treating her for fin rot, but none of what...

How frequently should I do water changes? I'am doing them once a week. Should I keep adding bacteria on each water change? -Thanks for the advice!

So, it's been 1 month since I added my goldfish (I added my fish before the cycle finished) and I've been doing regular 25% water changes, at least once a week. I just made a water change cause the ammonia levels were at 1 ppm. One hour has passed and ammonia is still at 1 :( . Don't know what...

It's an oranda goldfish :fish2: I just bought her and she's quite big, I currently have her on a 20 gal aquarium but I might upgrade to 30 gal later on so that there's more space. Goldfish need at least 20 gal per fish cause they tend to grow big and make a lot of waste.

Thanks! I only use the light while feeding her at night, otherwise is turned off. But, there's a lot of natural light coming out from the window on the front, it's not direct sunlight but the room is quite illuminated, should I place the tank somewhere darker?

My black thermometer is sticked to the glass outside, actually I can't take it off haha it's been there for 5+ years with its original glue

Thanks a lot! will keep doing water changes, ammonia dropped to .5 this morning, but I also noticed this bubbles, not sure if they're building up due to the oxygen stick I added or part of the products I'am using for the tank.

I'am clueless of what to do with my fish tank, it's been already 2 weeks and cloudy water hasn't cleared up. I accidentally misread my tank levels and started my aquarium, I had it running for a week before I introduced my Oranda. Every 4 days I am making a 25% water change (I also vacuum the...

So I decided to start my tank again (30 gallon), and bought an oranda goldfish. But I think I misread the levels on my tank and Iam worried something might happen to my goldfish :( What can I do to raise the alkalinity levels? Nitrate: 0 Nitrite: 0 Alkalinity: 0 Ph: 6.8
