| Additionally, what is the pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in numbers? Is it a comet goldfish in a 1 gallon bowl or something? These guys should have at least... 90 gallons.

| Hi, Thanks for answering Those fish have passed away, unfortunately...But I got back "on the horse" and got new ones: one red cap oranda, one common goldfish and one dark blue with fins like veils, really pretty (sorry I don´t know th name..) It's a small tank (I think it has about 10 litres) and has only the thingy that makes bubbles to oxigenate the water. my boyfriend brought back from the store strips to mesure pH and hadness and the guy from the store stressed very firmly not to feed them a lot, so now we´re trying to correct the water parameters and we only feed them once every other day... If anything goes wrong again I hope I can bother you all again for help. Thanks again Tzitzi

Wow. Those goldfish should be kept in AT LEAST a 20 gallon. The common one in a 90 gallon. The common ones can grow to 12-14 inches and they're messy eaters. The filter (if you have one) cannot handle the bioload of all three of them. Lastly, it's cramped. Return them all, it's just fish torture...
