Hello, I have my two Goldfish (1 inch and another one smaller) in a 2 Gallon Tank- should be enough room. Also I do have some Ghost-Shrimp in there to keep the Tank-bottom clean from dropped food! I'm carefull about how much I feed, pump is running constantly, I don't have the ligth on to much and and and! Still, I startet that Water in the Tank on Monday- today already the nitrite is at 1,0! My fish and Shrimp still seem to be happy, no darting around, no dazing, they still eat with good Appetite, Goldfish as Ghost-Shrimps! I know the level ist suposed to be 0- .5 max. Nitrite! Is there a chemical that will help a little? All the other Levels are perfect range and the water is clear- I did try a 25% water change with prepped tab-water, but that brought no results- exept it inproved the PH a little, but that one wasn't bad before anyways!

Any tips!
 
You will get a better response in pond and coldwater section.
You need a twenty gallon tank for the first goldfish then 10 gal after that for every other one, you need a very good filter to take care of the waste as goldfish are big waste producers, can you take the fish back to the lfs as that tank is no good and your fish will die from ammonia poisoning.
