    3 year old fish tank , cloudy water

    3-year-old 115-gallon fish tank water became cloudy. I'm pretty sure it was the water perimeters because of the nitrate and ammonia Spike. I just did a 50 percent water change, in which the water is still cloudy. Also, what's strange is a lot of the fish poop is floating on the top of the tank...

    Fancy goldfish laying bottom of tank

    I have a two-year-old golf fish mainly lying bottom of the tank. Sometimes tries to eat, but the other gets the food before him. About a week ago, I believe my dad was overfeeding the fish and causing them to get sick because they were all acting funny and less motivated. So I did a 50% water...

    Fruit and vegetables

    Other than flakes I thought there might be a good other source of nutrition. Has anybody ever fed their goldfish fruits and vegetables? What do you recommend, and do I need to prep it? How often.

    strange Behavior with goldfish

    One of my Goldfish is picking on the koi, that's little bigger than him. Follows him around the tank all-day, trying to bite the koi butt hole. It doesn't look like it really bothers the koi too much or cares. Do you understand this type of behavior.
