Goldfish Help..dying

Question

My gold fish is now not eating...one of my fish died just yesterday. Any ideas?

Answer 1

most likely stress. either from: bad water parameters, small space, or a disease

Ok so, ammonia and nitrite levels should be at 0 and nitrate could be from 0-20. if the ammonia and nitrite is high, do many water changes!

fancy goldfish(fat bodies with two tails) need a 20 gallons minimum each.

common goldfish need ponds cuz they grow 12+inches

Search for weird bumps, sickly discoloration, worms, salty specks, sucked in stomachs. These could be sicknesses! research them on google.

Answer 2

my little fishey died to he did the boston float :(

Answer 3

we need more information... fish die for many reasons..

shock

not enough filtration

over feeding

chlorine burns

fungus and worms..

not enough oxygen

How big is your tank?

do you have a good filter running?

Answer 4

Each goldfish needs 15-20 gallons all to itself.

Why?

They are messy.  They produce large quanities of p**p and pee and need large amounts of water so they don't poison themselves.

They need filtration.

They need high quality nutrition.

So, unless you have a 30 gallon aquarium with a filter, they're gonna get sick and die.

Answer 5

Clean your water.

Answer 6

sick, water quality is worst which makes them not to like food.  Its goldfish nature to search for food to eat.  no filter and aeration probably
