I just switched my three fish over to a 20 gallon tank and the bigger of the three fish was just laying at bottom in a corner. Is this because they are just getting use to the tank?

Is the tank cycled?
What is your ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates?
What kind of fish are they?
How did you acclimate them (add them to the tank?)
Swimgate said:I will defiantly keep that in mind. Thanks cross fingers and hope for the best. I have an under-gravel filter as well as an Aqueon quiet filter.
bruinsbro1997 said:What is the Aquaeon filter rated for, as in how many gallons?
Swimgate said:10-20 gallons

Again, hate to be bearer of bad news, but goldfish have massive bioloads, as in waste. They have no stomachs so they poop A LOT. For your tank I would get a filter rated for 70-110 gallons because of all the poop three goldfish produce. AquaClear filters are good.
