Admin koko Posted June 15 Admin Share Posted June 15 Could you get a photo of this fish? I want to see how bloated she is. Also I see that you have 7 goldfish in there. Goldfish need at least 20 gallons per fish. When you can please read this article. I know your doing big water changes, but it will eventually led to bacteria issues. The reason I say this is goldfish are very dirty fish and will polute the water very fast and the filters. Then the bacteria builds up. Are any of your other fish's showing signs of anything? What do you have in the tank for decorates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
