Water Change - Long 20 Gallon Freshwater Aquarium

Hi everyone!! So my fish started acting weird by floating at the top of the aquarium, each time i see that, i do a water change. So thats what this video is all about. I show how to siphon aquarium gravel rocks and add new water. Also i show how to use chloradsorb, to eliminate ammonia and chlorine from tap water, and i use sea lab trace element blox to ensure my fish are getting adequae trace elements and i show how i use right now bacteria in combination with the tri base pelletized carbon. Also i got a new aquarium background that looks pretty cool, and i removed my old skulls from the aquarium. All my fish are doing great now! Thanks for watching!! please SUBSCRIBE!!! RATE AND COMMENT!!! THANK YOU!!!

do you feed them sinking pellets? your suppose too gold fish can easily catch swim bladder if fed floating food

[aquariumguy2010]

@Cichlidlover22 no, where do i get sinking pellets?

[Cichlidlover22]

@Cichlidlover22 most aquarium store...your black moor is suffering from swim bladder common in gold fish......for now feed them every other day then feed them peas....it will cure...once fully cured feed them sinking pellets

@Cichlidlover22 hey so i went to the store and bought some sinking pellets and hey it works!! The fish act different when i feed them it! Thanks!

Another good thing for goldfish for food is homemade gel food. I have a ranchu that had really bad swim bladder problems, began soaking my flakes so that they would automatically sink and feeding him peas twice a week and it helped but not as much as I wanted to. For the last 6 weeks I've been feeding my goldfish homemade gel food and the ranchu doesn't have swim bladder problems anymore!

@aquariumguy2010 no, i think you have too much air in your tank. when your fish eat they are sucking in too much oxygen in their stomachs, that is what causes swim bladder. if i were you i would take out some air stones and turn the air pump to medium. i know because i used to put in so many air stones, because bubbles look so cool. and i would always get swim bladder in my tank.

You will kill your fish oneday! No key tips, you do take care if you're fish but little true knowledge of what you're doing. Adding conditioner after adding water, 50% water change, dumping of water, completly cleaning all ornaments, ALL NO Nos

If left alone, wont a fish usually stay upside down? Almost as if it is hypnotized?

Yer cute. So are your fish. You take awesome care of them. I just recently got a regular fantail goldfish from a carnival and he's still kickin' it. Been about a month since I got him. I do water changes when he starts to gulp for air at the surface. Kudos!

You take very good care of your fish! Mine used to float upside down until I started feeding them Omega One sinking pellets. You can get it at Petsmart.
