Oxygen Deprivation 911 is common in goldfish
Symptoms of oxygen deprivation 911: Bleeding eye, bulging eye, gasping, gasping at surface; reddening around gills
Most goldfish keepers believe water is oxygenated by means of an air pump; a bubbler, but such is not the case
Water absorbs oxygen by method of diffusion; when oxygen is pulled from the air by a moving surface. In order for
this to event to occur, the body of water must be free and clear
The most common things that take up space in water causing oxygen deprivation 911 are Co2 (carbon dioxide) a gas created from waste; supersaturated gases
(concentrated amounts of oxygen) found in tap water created by pressure; bad bacteria (white cloud) bloom or
green water algae
In order for water to be free, it must be properly agitated
