I got 13 fish in ahuge tank.They are 12 goldfish and 1 sucker fish(tank cleaner)Three fish died and one is bad
This is the third day for them in my tank.
Did you cycle the tank? In the wild, and in established tanks, there are nitrifying bacteria that break down toxic ammonia from fish waste and excess food into less toxic nitrates. In a brand new tank, these bacteria don’t exist, so any fish in the tank will produce ammonia, which, not being broken down by bacteria, will kill or weaken the fish. So, it is vital to cycle your tank. It’s a little late now, but you can lessen the impact of the ammonia on your fish by doing small (15%) daily water changes to dillute the ammonia, for the next 3-4 weeks. You should also invest in a master testing kit. It’ll cost you 30$ and you’ll be able to see your exact ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. When your ammonia and nitrites are at ZERO, the tank is safe and you can just do weekly 30% changes.
Now, you say your tank is huge – how big is “huge”? Goldfish are BIG fish. Even small goldfish like fancy goldfish need 15-20 gallons of water per fish – so you’d need a minimum of 200 gallons for your fish. If you have other types of goldfish like commons, comets or koi, those are pond fish and they need much more water.
