If you want your fish to survive another 8 years and be healthy for them, you need to do what I said. I dont mean to sound like a dick, and I'm not trying to, I'm just laying down the facts. I know this is probably shocking to you as most people don't know much of what I said and have grown up thinking fish bowls are good homes for fish. And an additional 100gph for every goldfish you add.
#CLOUDY GOLDFISH AQUARIUM UPGRADE#
And I'm about to upgrade to something bigger because THATS not enough! In a 55g tank, you'll want at least 400gph for the two goldfish youve got.
My 300g indoor pond has an fx5 and f圆 on it. If these don't resolve the issue, add a UV light. Ensure that the tank is not kept in direct sunlight. Scrape off the algae with an algae scraper, and use algaecide chemicals.
Algae Overgrowth Add some algae-eating fish or snails to the tank. So in short, get rid of the pleco!!įinally, upgrade your filter. The Nest provides the following remedies for each of these problems. Unfortunately, fish cataract has no treatment. Sometimes the condition may occur without any obvious cause. It is often the result of poor nutrition, inadequate tank conditions, genetic predisposition, and even parasitic infections. Did you know that? The guy at the store who sold it to you probably didn't because he told you you needed one. A cataract is actually a common condition among fish, goldfish included. Add in that fancy and what I can only assume is a pleco, youll need at least 100. GET A BIGGER TANK!! Melafix and water changes will not fix this! Water changes will fix the symptoms not the cause as you need to be doing 50% water changes probably every 3 days! A common goldfish (what you have) requires minimum 55 gallons. I guess I need some advice about how I clean the filter and how often.Īnd finally, holy cow, who would have ever thought goldfish would be so hard? I can't honestly see how anyone in good conscience sells so many of them to the world every year.Ĭloudy eyes are 90% usually caused by poor water conditions. I've looked at the "Guide to starting a new freshwater aquarium," and it says you don't need to change the filter media, and that changing it is bad for the tank. Local fish shop is nice, but an inconveniently long ways away, and maybe not giving the best advice. My current pump/filter is a "Odyssea PowerFilter 50" I would love suggestions about what kind of pump/filter system to buy (and where). Is having the 2 goldfish in 55 gallons reasonable? Should I find a different home for the Siamese Algae Eater, or would he be ok in there with the other two? Pretty sure otp1144 was right about it being a siamese algae eater I'm thinking I could have room for a 55 gallon tank, so I'm looking around for one of those, and in the long run, looking around with a koi pond to donate them to. Thanks!Įdit 4/21 9:30am PDT Here is a pic of the third fish in the tank. If you need any more info, please let me know.
