I didn't check the water yesterday since it was already late at night, but I will guarantee do a water change as soon as I get home from school. I don't know what to say about my tank being cycled. It was cycled BEFORE I got her, the betta, as I already had another fish living in that tank for a...

I don't quite know how to describe how she's swimming so I've attached a youtube video here: I hope you can see it. She's losing control. I was doing my essay when I took a break to watch her swim then I realized she wasn't acting normal. She's still relatively new but she wasn't swimming...

Your situation sounds familiar to the situation I had with my fantail. He was floating at the corner of the tank. Time passes and my fish starts getting lopsided. I still consider myself new to fish keeping but maybe your goldie has swim bladder disease. I've read so much to know that SBD is...

If I have to wait to prevent my fishes from dying, then I will. I'll try to do some research as well with what fishes can go with goldfish and such. I've got pellet food and I pre-soak it before feeding my fish to make sure it sinks. I also try to feed peas once a week, usually the same day as...

Okay, thanks for the tips! I've got a few questions. When would it be best to add another fish? When ammonia/nitrite is down to 0? Is high pH bad for the oranda? I did a water test today and here are my results: pH- 8.0 Ammonia - .25 or .50 Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- 10 or 20 where does my tank...

I felt like the fantail might've improved on the water change...however, this morning, I woke up and found it dead :(. I'll try to help my oranda as much as possible. I have Jungle Start Right as my water conditioner but it does not detoxify ammonia. I actually need to buy another bottle of...

I've been waiting for a reply and thank you soo much! I don't want my fish to run out of time before I get any help. I can't put my 10 gal filter cartilage in the 27 right now because I moved my fantail back in it. I feel like my fantail has been worse than my oranda. However, I did put some of...

Hi, I asked a question about my goldfish before and the only reply I got was to house my two fancies (fantail & oranda) in a bigger tank since they were in a 10gal. Now they're in a 27 gal and I feel like I made things worse. My oranda looks worse than my fantail. Also, I just put them in the 27...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and to keeping fish. I have 2 goldfishes, one is an oranda (2.5 in) and the other is a fantail (3.5). They are both in a 10gal tank but I am currently investing in a 30 gal. My problem is that my oranda is losing his/her scales. I've had my oranda for several...
