Goldfish swimming circles

Goldfish swimming circles indicates nitrate poisoning. Nitrates rob the blood of oxygen, thickening it, which causes the bent position. The fish cannot straighten, so it swims somersaults if it swims at all

Perform small and frequent water changes to reduce nitrate levels, keeping the water table as high as possible. The weight of water reduces the pressure caused by the toxin. Nitrate poisoning is a dangerous and painful condition

Increase oxygen levels in the water by using our Oop Boost
Use Mean Green or Dandy remedy to improve the quality of the blood
Reduce water temperature to 55f by chilling tank water until nitrates are lowered, and the water is properly oxygenated
