    What filtration do you use? How old is the setup? 3days?

    Goldfish pee and shit a lot. I got a 2ft with 6 goldfishes. Water is always yellowish.

    3 days still quite short for the tank that is brand new.
    Is there any filter? How about filter media?

    Btw: Please watch on the sms lingo usage.

    I've been keeping goldfish before with 50% water change daily. That is the only way I could manage keeping them going. As I liked to feed them and keep them fat, no bio-filter could handle the huge amount of their poop.

    Now I do the same for my group of Cory Sterbais, for they are just like goldfish in behaviour, lol.

    try to use strong filter... the location you put the filter also matters... can always put some plant debris inside your tank to see the circulation flow...

    What is the temperature of the tank? Goldfish are cold water fishes and messy eaters that have poor digestions, resulting in loads of waste being generated.
    With cooler water, their metabolic rates will slow down and they would not be so stressed, hence reducing the amount of waste they produce and the amount of food you have to feed them.

    I always believed that goldfish are not suitable for tropical climate.
