To everyone who helped me with my 1st goldfish question?

Question

So you guys helped me out alot, I really appericated that. Now, to answer some of your questions. I put the following in the tank last night: GOLDFISH BOWL CONDITIONER - Instantly removes chlorine and chloramines. Neutralizes toxic ammonia. Detoxiflies heavy metals. On the back on the bottle says to put approx. 1 capful (treats 2 U.S gallons)

Then I put in this also - STRESS COAT - fish and tap water conditioner. Replaces slime coat. Reduces electrolyte loss. Promotes tissue regeneration. Removes chlorine and neutralizes chloramines.

I hope this is the right thing to do. This is what the guy at the store told me to do. I need your help people!!

Answer 1

I used to let the water sit for a day to decloronate, but have used the stress coat. The fish survived either way.

Answer 2

Yes! That's what your fish needs! But remember, goldfish create a LOT of ammonia and the chemicals don't totally remove or neutralize it, regardless of what the bottle says, so you need to be sure to change the water frequently, and always at the conditioner and stress coat to the fresh water before you add it to the bowl.
