Black Gold
why is my white gold fish turning black?
i bought two gold fish one black with the big eyes and one small white one. The black gold fish died on the weekend i do not know why. But i have been changing the water alot as it goes murky white two days after i change it. I have been feeding them properly and every time i change the water i put a cleaning tablet into it to clense the water before i put the fish back in. After my black gold fish died my white gold fish began to turn black on different parts of its body. I dont want it to die, it swims around opening and closing its mouth alot like faster than normal, i put some food in but it didnt eat it. is there anything i can do?
i also have an air pump in the fish bowl, it pumps out air bubbles. i dont know if it cleans the water or not.
Oh where to start. First off, you say you’ve been changing the water “lots”, but you do not mention what you have the fish in, so I’m gong to guess that you have them in some type of fish bowl without any filtration or even an airstone. Let me begin now by saying to you that goldfish are nicknamed “pigfish”. This should give you your first hint. Goldfish that are in bowls, no matter how many water changes you do, are going to die far sooner then those kept in more quality conditions (a proper sized tank with conditioned water and a filter at the very least.) Goldfish produce a LOT of waste, and the waste in these “still” fish bowls turns to ammonia, which in turn suffocates the fish to death. The “black” on your white fish could actually be an ammonia burn (I’m sorry but it’s the truth). I would research online what you can do for treating ammonia burns on fish. Chances are that the petshop employees “neglected” to tell you all of this. It’s normal that they don’t. Rather then my getting in to it here, at the end I’m going to give you a couple of links to check out proper goldfish care. I don’t know what the outcome on your goldfish is going to be. If you do decide to try this again in the future, I would suggest that you thoroughly research everything PRIOR to getting any fish. If you want just a couple of fish, you can start out with a 10 gallon, maybe 20 gallon starter kit. The more knowledgeable you are about this hobby, the better off your fish are going to be. And in turn, the happier you will be. If you get a tank and filter, make sure you research “cycling” your tank the proper way before you add fish, and also check out the different breeds of goldfish as some can get HUGE and are better of left for outside ponds. Remember, knowledge is power. I hope I was able to help in some way. Good luck! ;o)
