fish advice wanted.
john royce
kept the little filter pump going continously. Recently we bought three
small gold fish and used half the water that came with the fish and half the
water already in the tank.
The water has gone cloudy. Can you advise the likely reason for this
please and say what is roughly the maximum volume of water I can change
every day. Thanks.

Yep, being a tight wad and not doing the proper thing,and that is
gold fish do not belong in a small tank as they grow bigger very fast
you fucking dumbass. Its amazing you even rasied kids.hopefully your
sterile............

Pay no attention to the Troll that is impersonating my screen name.
He's a vulgar old man who tries his best to disrupt the forums.
Basically, your problem is that you have a small tank and added 3
goldfish.
Running an empty tank for several months wasn't really doing anything
for the cycle unless you "fed" the bacteria during that time to keep
them alive.
Goldies need 10-15 gallons per adult goldfish...and even so that's a
minimum.
Depending on the type of goldfish, some can reach 16 inches long, and
can live 20+ years.
Do you know what type of Goldie you have?
What size ( in gallons) is this "small" tank?
How long are these 3 "small" goldies?
The cloudiness is either the tank starting to cycle or too many
goldfish in too small of a tank and it's going to crash.
Side note....never...ever add water from the bag to your tank!
Get back with the answers needed to help you further with this
situation.

more ammonia than they can handle. the cloudy (white, right?) is the biobacteria
looking for a home. If you add more "mats" in the filter they will settle down in
there. this is actually a good thing in that it is unlikely that the ammonia is
spiking high, however, you need to check for nitrites and ammonia until they zero
out. then the fish are safe.
1. cut back on feeding severely and small amounts of high quality (protein, no
grains) one mouthful each fish more often per day.
2. check the water parameters and do water changes to keep the nitrates below 40 ppm
3. you may need a larger tank for those fish. Generally 20 gallons for 2 fish, 10
gallons for each additional fish.

maggotts crawling out any minute....................YOU need a douche
