I will get some of that and add it. Thanks for your help.

Drove to an aquarium store to get a real water test done and they said the water is good and ready for fish. No ammonia. No clue why he is just sitting at the bottom. The aquarium store suggested maybe the fish is not acclimated to the water?

It's a reverse osmosis filter that goes through a remineralization filter as the last stage to add small amounts. I'm not manually adding anything, its its own filter. Don't know that there is anything "wrong" with my tap water. It's city water so it's full of chlorine and who knows what else...

I can't control the re mineralization. Would I be better using tap water with conditioner?

OK wow. This is a lot. So I did not acclimate. The fish was brought to me in a bag, so I just put it in the new tank. Will they eventually acclimate? The kh was about 40. So basically add some beneficial bacteria and until that works keep changing out water to reduce amonia?

The 30ppm is the remineralization. Without that it would be almost 0

I have an RO filter hooked up to my house so I just use that water. Online it said it was good for goldfish? How do I cycle my tank?

Nitrate 2 and nitrate 3 were both 0. I think that's ammonia right? I did a 50% water change yesterday, but still just hanging on the bottom

Was gifted a black moor goldfish last week unexpectedly. Never had a fish before. After a week of being in the tank he just sits at the bottom and doesn't swim around. This has been going on a couple of days now. At first I left the led lights on 24/7, which is my bad. Read that is wrong...
