paul_219 Banned Posts: 71 Kudos: 47 Votes: 4 Registered: 25-Dec-2005	I have alot of bubbles floating on the surface of my tank. It is the first time i see much bubbles in my tank. I have 3 goldfish. a filter and a long airstone and a sheel that gives bubble. Why is this amount of bubbles.

A buildup of organic waste (goldfish are great at producing waste) will make bubbles, an overabundance of conditioner when you last changed water will do it, and if your water is very hard, the bubbles will be hard to pop on their own.

You know that tank is way too far over loaded and have been told many times it will only lead to more trouble. I am sure I have told you as well as others, until you sort that tank out it must be maintained far more than you are doing now. That means a 50% water change weekly at a bare nminium. The filter what is it and how often do you fully clean it. What are you putting into that tank and how much also how often including food, Lighting do you have any, what type and how many hrs per day. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I have a 20g for 1 Goldfish and it's clear water but I do water changes every 3 days, clean the filter 1 every 2 weeks and replace the filter every 2-3 months. Marley(the Goldfish) seems happy and likes it. So if you have 3 Goldies in one tank you'd probably have to do a LOT more maitinence to the tank. 10G- 6 Zebra Danios, 1 Upside Down Catfish 20G- 1 Goldfish 72G(maybe95)- Need Stock suggestions
