I KEEP HAVING TO BUY NEW GOLD FISH FAN TAILED BECAUSE THIER FINS KEEP GETTING ALL RATTY AND THEY LOOK LIKE CRAP AND THEN THEY DIE. IVE CHANGED THE WATER , CLEANED THE TANK AND ADDED WATER SOFTENER WHY IS THIS HAPPING? PS I HAVE AN ALGE EATER THAT HAS SURVIVED ALL OF THIS
Answers:
even though people think that goldfish are easy to care for, they take alot of work. You didn't say what tank size or how many fish.but you really shouldn't have more than 2 fantails in a 10 gallon (20 is better). Gold fish expell alot of waste and ammonia.
I don't think the alge eater is attacking your fish.it sounds more like fin rot. virtually all cases are precipitated by stress, fear or poor environmental conditions. Fin rot can be cured with Pimafix if it's fungal, Melafix if it's bacterial. It can be bought at your petshop.
check you ph level often, do ammonia tests, and give you fish a variety of foods in addition to flakes. Alternate the different foods but don't over feed. you don't want them to develop swim bladder disease. Change your filter once a month (at least).
to make your fish happy and reduce their stress:
Try and ensure that the temperature of the water is kept at a constant 65 degrees (F) for gold fish.
Add water plants and a light source to the aquarium as it ensures replenishment of oxygen supply. If the light source is artificial, make sure it is timed to switch off on a 12 hour cycle.
Keep the tank free from debris and add a bit of 'aged' water (water left standing for at least a day). Clean the tank once in four to six months. 50% water change every 1 to 2 months.
