i got a new tank and its way overcrowded with fish and its still completing the cycle (about 30 gallons 10 small goldfish, im planning on moving them but trying to get water situated). ive been using a lot of stuff in the water because the levels from the test kit all were horrible (nitrates, ammonia especially way too high) and i used something to bring the ph level to 7.5. i have a bubble eye and i turned off the filter when i left because i didnt want the bubbles to get stuck, came home and the water is so cloudy i can see hardly anything and the bubble eye is swimming/floating around tilted on its side. i added a lot of water today too so im not sure if its osmotic shock i really dont know that much about fish (OBVIOUSLY)
can someone PLEASE give me any advice in saving the bubble eye or any idea of whats wrong?? right now i have it in a separate bowl but i reallly dont want it to die!!
ugh i didnt know that could happen so fast i was only gone for about 4 hours and i have been putting some stuff in to speed up the bacteria. i use water from a well would i still need the declorinator?
i got 9 of the 10 fish yesterday, could they have made that much poop yet? i havent even fed them yet because im so worried about it. they all seemed stressed out (theyre pearlscales) and stay in a little school
is there any chance of saving the bubble eye?
i had a bubble up filter going and the water level just got high enough to start using our old waterfall one (i just bought a new one but its either broken or the water level isnt high enough)
but i shut that one off because im paranoid about the bubble eye getting stuck..thats happened to me soo many times in the past and i hate it
i really dont want to take them back because we have another tank about 50 gallons im going to set up for some of them just i need time to get it situated which is not working out well at allll
could i just leave them in there for another day or so and start the bigger one tomorrow? thats gonna be suchh a pain and i really dont have time for it today
i used an ammonia and nitrate neutralizer and the ph thing because it was high. ammonia is way better now nitrates are still bad.. im thinking its because i live near farms and the fertilizer gets in the water from the well.
right now i have 2 waterfall filters going and a bubble up (which really seems to make no difference)
im hoping this helps out.. i added more water too
ill go get the dechlorinator im just sure if i need it or not because my water doesnt have chlorine or whatever (thats what my mom said at least since its from the well)
