Precious_Scarface said:Ok so i took another test just to peek until tmw having no no3 & no4 tests its kinda hard but :
Amm : 4 ppm
Nitrites :?
Nitrates :?
Ph : 7.6
Tomorow i will do another 50 pwc and see if the amm can go down a bit
eco23 said:Why tomorrow? That qualifies as an emergency and should be dealt with ASAP. You should no a 75% pwc immediately and go from there.
I believe this has been linked...but read it again. Your goal should be at or below .25 IMO......not 4.0 then wait till tomorrow.

Somethingclever said:Do you have pictures of the goldfish?
Flossie said:they can get ammo and nitrite poisoning however IMO that's almost impossible with goldfish.
Flossie said:Yes.. do PWCs until the ammo and nitrite are under .25 bc they can get ammo and nitrite poisoning however IMO that's almost impossible with goldfish. How big are they! ?
eco23 said:Can you give me an idea of where you heard that or if you have any articles that state that?
Yes look at them arent they cute !!
Flossie said:No I have just have goldfish in an uncycled tank and its hard to keep the ammo down . Not disagreeing with u just IME without constant PWC it gets out of control fast ! Just my opinion an experience. Please don't think I'm disagreeing that is not what I meant. I even edited the comment bc it sounded like I was disagreeing with u. Sorry... U have great advice Eco.. How could I disagree with u?? Lol.I'm still sorta a newbie
Those are large GF. It would be best to rehome them...
eco23 said:There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with me .
It's just scary to have the idea that goldfish are immune to ammonia or nitrIte poisoning floating around....when it's simply not true IMO/E.
People hear certain things and repeat it back. I wouldn't want people to see that and decide they're goldfish won't suffer with toxic levels.
Precious_Scarface said:I would rehome them if i could but its hard being only 17 years old and those are your only pets the big and gold one is my favorite he looks super cute and hes gorgeous i took them away from somebody that didnt want them anymore theyve been left to die in an uncycled tank with a 3 months old dirty filter i was amazed that they doubled size even tho that water was disgusting so i just took them home and putted them in my tank with my rb's who are about 1"
Flossie said:Oh no I meant they will get ammo and nitrite poising and it's nearly impossible to keep the levels under 1ppm ammo and such! Lol sorry I was unclear...
I think my goldfish got ammo and nitrite poisoning bc I could not keep the levels down and I believe I almost lost them. I would not want to promote anything that harms any kind of animal. U can delete that post if needed
