Subject: Goldfish help by yugi on 29/7/2013 9:54:24 hi have a question as its confused me as to why this fish has died :S we have a tank that has just two goldfish in, the previous fish we had lived 10 plus years, after they past we didnt have any for awhile but then ended up getting one from a fair (which is bad i know!) and from a pet store. we have had them both nearly 3 years ones grey (pet store one) and ones gold and white (fair one) now my mother decided to buy some snails and a mussel for the tank too and some plants to go in it, the grey fish just kept eating the plant and the gold one wasnt bothered by it at all. the next morning the grey had gone really light in colour just overnight, so we took the plants out, but the grey was constantly at the top as if gulping for air whereas the gold was just swimming about normally it gradually got worse so changed the grey to another tank incase there was something affecting it in the tank it was in, it perked up abit but afew hours later it passed away now ive tried to research what could have caused it as i was thinking it could be eating to much of the plant but alot of sites say the goldfish wouldnt eat until it will have eaten way too much :S then i thought maybe ammonia levels in the tank because of the snails but the other goldfish is fine and healthy or could it be something else but that worries me it could affect the other goldfish any ideas/help? |
