My son's goldfish aquarium is making me crazy! Help!
allycat
My 14-yea-old son has a five-gallon tank with six goldfish in it.
They're growing, so I know we need a larger tank. However, here is my
question, and I really need some help here! The water is usually murky,
and his dad and I think he's over feeding them. When he's gone, such as
on a recent trip, we did not feed them as much, and the water cleared
up. He refuses to accept this logic, so I thought I'd find some expert
help! We even took away the food to monitor it, and he fed bread to the
fish.
I am desperately in need of advice on how often goldfish should be fed,
and how much.
Thank you!
A.

I personally wonder why any one with half a fucking brain would allow
so many fgish yet alone goldfish to be placed in such a small tank
anyhow. Why not raise the fr4eaking things in the back of the topilet
or septic tank. THe septic tank would be better swince they asre
already living in a sewer. Flush the things or get rid of them give
them back to the petshop they do not belong in a 5 gal tank.that many
do not belong in a 55 gal tank, and if you have to ask how many times
you need to feed them yolu don;t need any of them......if tyhey were
kids being treated like that welfare would have you arresdted and the
kids taken for abuse.Go get a fucking clue...........

too many fish for tank size
too little filtration
too much food
food too low quality
temp too low, needs 76-78oF
if the nitrates are not kept at or below 20 ppm the fish will start to develop
disease.
