livebearer_breeder Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I think you should stop watching your tank so much Your worrying about something that deffinatly is not worth the stress, especialy if they are eating some of the food. Goldfish should not be fed everyday, they are high poluters and will cause amonia problems in the tank, this is why there are Coldwater fish and Tropcial fish, and generally they are kept apart.

Caper Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Thank you Shae...I want to get another tank...just can't do it right now. I test once a week and everything seems to be okay so far Ammonia 0 pH 7.2 nitrites .3 Should the nitrites be lower? And you are right...I want so bad for this to work...that I'm stressing myself out Thanks for the help Shae Oh...and the irony is...when I was the fish...it helps me escape from the other stresses in my life right now...go figure!!!!!

livebearer_breeder Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I understand completley, when i used to have my big community tank i could get lost in it for hours. Don't stress over your fish otherwis it kind of defeats the purpose of tropical tranquality and stress relief. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 OMG...when I WATCH the fish...not when I was the fish...see I am loosing it :lol: :lol: But what about the nitrites Shae...is .3 acceptable. I just did a water change and will test later....WITHOUT...stressing myself out :-? Thanks for the understanding...it is appreciated!
