Why do you think you should keep dead fish in the tank?

 

[metfan581]

to start the cycle



how do i do that

 

[canarsie11]

I would remove fish. (dead one)

Also, I personally would not cycle with gold fish, however I guess the science is sound.

Do you have a water test kit?

Fistly you have to many fish for your tank.
secondly take the dead fishout it will do more harm than good,
and

lastly DON'T get anymore fish.


do you have a heater in this tank??

and can you get some water tested, Iver buy a kit or see if your LFS will do it for free.

i have a heater
is it okay that i put the 9 fish from my 10 in the 20h and get more for the 20h then what should i do with the 10

No

and if you are heating the goldfish, thats wong goldfish are cold water fish..
