So I just purchased a 5.5 gallon tank for a betta and I am currently looking for what filter would be best for this. The tank does come with a filter but it's top fin and I have had bad experience with their filters and I've seen they produce too much flow for a betta. I am looking into the...
Thank you for the reply. Do you believe the gravel is the cause behind the white stool? I am just hesitant to conclude it's parasites because I don't want to falsely medicate. I personally don't think it is, but a majority of people I have talked to think so. But none of them actually thought he...
So I have been having a problem with my comet goldfish. He has been excreting very odd stool. It's pretty much different every time. Sometimes it's pretty normal, other times it's white and stringy, sometimes it's a mix of both. But there has been one thing in common in all the stools, there is...
Hi everyone. I have a 20 gallon tank with one common goldfish (planning on moving him to a 50 gallon) and 2 nerite snails. When you bend down and look closely, you can see a bit of what appears to be an excessive slime coat on and around his dorsal fin. It is not at all very noticeable if you do...
Hello everyone. I have a common goldfish that is about 3 inches in a 20 gallon that I am planning on moving to a 50 gallon in about a month or so. I noticed a tiny bit of excessive slime coat on him and when I did a bit of research, he shared the other symptoms of Chilodonella. He seems to be in...

Thank you for this reply and really understanding how much I freaking love this fish. I could look for a tank for cheap but another issue is my parents. I am a teenager so I can't just do willy nilly and my parents were not very happy with even a 20 gallon. I will see what I can work out.
Ok thank you. I didn't receive this fish with my own discretion so this was all I could do. For now I will crank up the water changes and get more plants for him to be comfortable. I'll try to find someone with a bigger tank but it may not happen for a while. I only want the best for this fish.
Hi everybody. The question I am asking is to ease a bit of worry that I have been experiencing. I have 1 common goldfish in a 20 gallon tank. Water parameters always look good, heavy filtration, and weekly water changes. So far so good. I haven't had any problems with my fish. What worries me is...
