Goldfish on Bottom

Goldfish on bottom indicates nitrate levels are too high, or perhaps a large water change was recently performed. Fish require increased water depth when nitrates are high, and removing large amounts of water at one time injures them

Perform small and frequent water changes instead of large water changes periodically. Keep the water properly oxygenated, as nitrates rob the blood of oxygen

Safe nitrate levels are 10 to 20 ppm, however, most fish are fine at levels of 30 to 40 ppm
