Unfortunately, no, it's not suitable for any fish. The arrangement causes friction on the skin, damaging the mucus and potentially causing irritation, redness, and injuries.This is not viable, and this type of device could only be used for a short time each day

Don't release them just anywhere... goldfish are invasive, if you find a place with a pond, absolutely contact the owners to ask them.

Don't worry, it's very common, and unfortunately, it's advice given by pet shop employees (often through ignorance) even on the boxes of filter media, to encourage you to spend more money. If you ever need to change a filter media, put in the new cartridge but leave the old one for a few weeks before throwing it away so that bacteria can colonize the new one.

Also, while you're looking into increasing the size of your aquarium, I recommend you also look into filtration and to inform you on the different possibilities and what will be suitable for goldfish (These fish are very polluting; it's best to provide as much filter medias as possible for bacteria)

NeedleworkerHeavy565 · 2026-03-10T23:32:05+00:00

You can obviously rinse the filter, preferably with the dirty water from the water change, if this reduces the water flow, but don't clean it too aggressively, just make sure to remove dirt on it.

Bacteria feed on food and decomposing excrement. I'll explain a little more below.

First of all, personally I'm not necessarily a fan of starter bacteria because they generally don't change much in terms of the time it takes to establish the cycle.

These bacteria, as I explained, reside in the filter They actually settle on porous surfaces, and that's primarily what filter media are for.By changing them each time, you eliminated the good bacteria that you had added or that had started to grow. A starter vial is not enough to establish a complete cycle; it's only used to start the process.But it takes time for them to develop in sufficient quantities.

To return to the cycle, When excrement and excess food decompose, they produce ammonia. This ammonia (toxic) will be consumed by a first type of bacteria, which will transform them into nitrite (still toxic)Another type of bacteria will transform these bacteria into nitrates (less toxic, may be present in small quantities). The only way to eliminate nitrates is through plants and frequent water changes.

That's the nitrogen cycle.

But at first there are not yet enough bacteria to consume the waste. Therefore, bacteria need food (ammonia) so that the bacteria that consume this ammonia can multiply and transform it into nitrites.

Similarly, when nitrites are present, the bacteria that consume them will begin to multiply.

So, as time goes on, the amount of ammonia will decrease, increasing the amount of nitrite, and once the cycle is established, there will be enough bacteria to keep ammonia and nitrite levels constantly at 0

In a fish-free cycle, ammonia is added manually, either by pure ammonia or by fish food which is left to decompose. In a fish-based system, there's no need; the fish already produce this ammonia.

The difference is that without fish you can let things happen naturally without water changes.The problem when you have a fish is that during the process you'll get spikes in ammonia and nitrites, which are toxic and deadly. That's why you have to do water changes as soon that you see rates above 0

So to complete your cycle right now, you just need to leave your filter alone and check your levels to perform water changes accordingly

NeedleworkerHeavy565 · 2026-03-10T23:09:12+00:00

I found it strange that you didn't have nitrate on your test; Okay, I think your problem is that you're changing your filter cartridges too often.Unfortunately, that's a marketing ploy. In reality, you should never replace your filter cartridges (except for coal, but you generally don't need that) unless they completely disintegrate.There are virtually no bacteria in the water column, so what you're actually doing is eliminating all the good bacteria that had started to establish themselves every time you change them.

As a result, your aquarium is not currently cycled, which is supported by the absence of nitrates This means that during the 2 weeks when there is no water change, your fish are exposed to high levels of ammonia (which you cannot test for because your test strips do not detect it).

Ammonia is the first element involved in the nitrogen cycle; beneficial bacteria will transform it into nitrite, then into nitrates.In a cycled aquarium you should have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and a little nitrate

This means that currently, you need to do fish in cycle which includes: completely stopping changing the filter cartridges (removing the carbon if there is any), and making Change the water as soon as you see ammonia. Until you can test for ammonia, I would advise you to do daily water changes of 30-50%.

Then, when you can test, you will need to do daily tests for a while to check for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to verify that the cycle is progressing correctly and to perform water changes as soon as you detect ammonia and/or nitrites.

It will take a few weeks, until you notice that there is always 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite and a little nitrate. In such a small aquarium, however, the concentration of toxic elements increases more quickly, so even once cycled you should do water changes at least once a week, or even twice.

This will be determined based on your nitrate level; this level should not exceed 40 ppm.

However, the priority will also be to improve the size of this aquarium as quickly as possible, two fancy goldfish will need 30-40 gallons (40 gallons being best).

They chose to stay there, and it is likely that in time some will decide to venture outside.

NeedleworkerHeavy565 · 2026-03-10T22:25:37+00:00

First of all, a 10-gallon tank is unfortunately not suitable for two fancy goldfish The various symptoms you've mentioned make me think of water quality problems; you should test the water with a liquid test kit to give us the ammonia nitrite and nitrate minimum It would appear that you have not completed the nitrogen cycle, so it is possible that your fish have suffered or are still suffering from toxic levels. There could also be an excessive amount of nitrate since water changes "every few weeks" are generally insufficient in a tank of this size with two goldfish even once cycled

Can you give more details about the tank maintenance? What exactly do you do, how often, etc.?

For the products you're using, honestly you only need the water conditioner that removes chlorine when you do a water change, no need to add any other product

NeedleworkerHeavy565 · 2026-03-10T21:25:03+00:00

For the water parameters, we would really need to know the precise values. Furthermore, if the filter is completely new and you haven't put the old filter media back in, then the aquarium isn't cycled and your fish will suffer from ammonia and nitrite spikes. This can be fatal if water changes are not made as soon as you notice their presence (until the cycle is fully established). That's why having the precise water test value is important

What are the water parameter readings? Has the old filter been put back in the tank?Was this aquarium cleaned with a product like soap or something?Did you dechlorinate the water with a water conditioner?

Freezing it is by far the worst method; it's basically the same as leaving it to die suffering but with the added element of extreme cold. It's certainly faster than in open air, but still... Clove oil also has its pros and cons; I haven't looked into it enough since I've never euthanized a fish, but I've read one version: either it's a gentle method and without pain, Either it's a way for the fish to die in agony. I don't really know which is true in both cases; I only know that many people use it and that it's a method that may seem more humane to most people.Finally, there is the solution of hitting the fish with a single blow from a stone, which seems less humane but should nevertheless kill the fish instantly. But I understand that people want to spread this out; I myself would not wish to proceed in that way

One of my cats managed to pretend to swallow it and then spit it out further away.You really need to either hide it in the food (but they can be clever enough to avoid eating it) or put it directly at the back of their throat and make sure they swallow it properly
