I took my fish out of the aquarium to clean it. I took 50% of the water off. And I washed the big rock with just water... I left the small rocks and artificial plants in the aquarium.
Now what? Do I add the new water first, or do I put my gold fish back in the aquarium first? Do I add Amquel + in the new water, or in the water after on the tank with the old water? Do I give my fish some food today? I don't want this fish to die... I have lost three already... and I really like this one. Please help. I am wating here while my fish is out of the tank in a small bowl. Thanks.

Fill the tank back up with water pre-treated with Amquel +. Then put the fish back in. You can feed him today, yup.
In the future, you don't need to remove the fish. Just empty the water with the fish still in the tank, and fill it back up with water treated with Amquel. Always treat the water with Amquel before putting the water in the tank.
Your goldfish will be fine in a small bowl of water while you do the water change, no worries :)

I would get the fish tank back together, wait about 1 hour then put your fish back in. In the future, I would only switch out 1/3 of the water at a time though.

your gold fish should be fine in the fish bowl. I know people who just leave them in the small bowls all the time. Go ahead and do your tank let the water temp adjust a little and than put the fish back in.

i would add dechlorinated water to the tank....the fish should be fine in a small bowl for the meantime as long as there is adequate oxygen in the water. Goldfish are rather hardy, but make sure that the water in the big tank is 100% dechlorinated before re-introducing the fish(feed them too) No chlorine is a must!

your gold fish will be fine but i think what is a good thing to do for the next time clean out some milk judges only with water and let them sit out over night so it gets room temp and the chlorine. gets out but also treat the water be for you put it in the tank good luck honey your fish will be fine from one animal lover to another

~you could no longer positioned fish in the 1st day you practice the tank, those "bottled bacterias" do no longer constantly artwork and you're able to cycle your tank for 2 to eight weeks. ~you're able to never upload maximum of fish at one time, it reasons ammonia spikes which burns them and eats away fins. ~Your tank is basically sufficiently enormous for one single Betta, none of those fish could properly be healthful in a tank so tiny, much less that lots of them. ~The fish you further are tropical fish and desire a temperature between seventy 8 and 80 two levels F, a heater is a could. something in the 60s is lots too chilly for them. If any are nonetheless alive, i could take them returned to the shop and do greater analyze till now you get animals. Sorry!

next time leave the fish in there and just do the water change, go ahead and put the fish back in and slowly add the water and the water treatment, and if you havn't fed him today, go ahead, he will be fine
