Thank you for visiting my question..
I have two young fancy goldfish Bob is a black moor about 1.5 in, Pearl is a Pearl Scale about 2in.. and of course I have Nascar the snail. I have a 20 gal tank for the moment with a 25 gal biowheel and a airstone. My tank is 0 on the ammonia, 7 ph, nitrite 0 and nitrate just recently is between 5 and 10. I feed them rotating goldfish crisps, sinking min sticks, algae wafers and peas . I feed them usually every other day.. But lately daily, so I think that is why my nitrates have gone up. I also, vacuum and change water filter and do a 20% change every month. When I first got Bob he had mouth rot after almost two months of many treatments it finally went away after giving him Tetracycline. Then got Pearl a month later. Anyway, they seem very healthy and happy.. No big tummy's well Pearl but she is a pearl scale.lol. Don't seem to have dropsy, they are very active and have no noticeable problems.. but they are ALWAYS gulping at the water line.. Why is this and should I be worried?
