Goldfish sick

Sick goldfish are typically kept in unhealthy water. The temperature may be too warm. The oxygen levels may be too low. Our fish require heavily oxygenated water to be healthy, and this isn’t easy to achieve. Air pumps or bubblers do not oxygenate water. Water movement is the key. Surface action pulls Co2 from the water, as it pulls oxygen from the air

Installing a real pond pump will provide the right kind of action, unlike standard filtering systems

Open the top of your tank so the water is exposed to fresh moving air

Test carbonate mineral levels to assure water has the ability to support oxygen
