Goldfish loosing color
Hi everyone, Hope you all are well. It’s been a few weeks since I dropped in. One of my bug eyed goldfish was pure black. Over the past few months it’s loosing color and turning golden color.

Most of us have phosphorus in our tap water, and most of use tap water… Continue reading Effects of Phosphates on Goldfish
Cyling new tank
I thought I would make a post under goldfish maintenance, because the fish are doing great after being poisoned by ammonia. I was making some pretty big mistakes with my fish by cleaning the entire tank instead of doing water changes. This either kept the cycle from forming or broke it.

Fishes are doing great, thanks to your support. I always try to tell people about the pump. Nobody seems to bite,… Continue reading Algae

Story of Babies
In Dec 2018 one of my fancy goldfish started be having oddly, she was struggling to keep upright, she would float with her tail up but only towards the end of the day, then sleep at pretty much 90′ in the night. She was also being chased by the two males who had white spots… Continue reading Story of Babies
