Answer 1

It's not exactly clear what you are asking here but if you think you've got a PH problem your best bet is to go to the pet store and look for a book that is written specifically for your type of fish or if you can't find it at the pet store then go to a book store like Barnes and Nobel and enquire about it there ,,,,  Anyone behind the counter should be able to help you ,,,, Find out what the correct Ph balance should be and test the water and then purchase what you need to correct the problem ,,,, You should also consider the volume of water you have the fish in ,,,, Gold fish tend to use allot of oxygen and if there isn't enough volume or if the surface area is inadequate then you'll notice the fish sucking the surface of the water trying to get oxygen ,,,,  If this is the case then you need to get an air pump and air stone to ariate the water ,,,,  Like I said it's not exactly clear what you are asking here ,,,,  At one time I had as many as 25 tanks going at one time ,,,, I had allot of different types and species of fish ,,,,  When I started buying a different species I always purchased a book that was written specifically for that type ,,,,  There are several types of gold fish ,,,, Determine exactly what you have and get the right book ,,,, If it's written by a reputable author then it should cover every thing about your species of gold fish including a trouble shooting guide ,,,,,,           Good luck with it ,,,,, //

Answer 3

I'm not sure what your question is or what you are worried about. Your ph is great and nitrites aren't high. Goldfish just swim around a lot. You should only start to worry if it stops swimming.

Answer 4

my fish has been doing that for however long i've had it...your fish is probably just growing nothing is wrong with him it's completly normal

Answer 5
