Hi!
I have a gold fish, I actually got it from walmart for a eco column project in my science class.
I was not expecting it to live, but it did!!
So i took it home, i bought it a 1 gallon tank :/ I know too small! well i didn't find that out until after i got it home and i cannot afford to purchase a new one so im willing to do whatever i can to make this work! And eventually buy a bigger tank.
I have a water lilly bulb im with Josh (my fish) its growing but still in early stages, im pretty sure im going to have to remove it when it gets bigger...
This tank has a really nice air stone, and a really big/high powered filter.
It is octagonal in shape.
The fish has been in this tank since wednesday.
He was doing fine, very lively, eating well.
Well today i noticed a little big of slow behavior hes not moving around as much, i dont think you can say he is lethargic yet but i dont wanna let it get to that point.
I tried geting him some caves to hide in but both were to big, so now i think he is scared because of all the movement, im worried and feel bad
I bought test strips everything is good except for .5 nitrite..is this causing the problem?
I did a 25% water change today once i noticed he was acting slow.
Any advice or ideas yall have please let me know!!
Im really determined to keep Josh alive!!
I have never had any luck with fish and would really like to keep this little guy alive!!!
