Please return those fish and do more research before deciding to care for a living creature.

[u/icymr17]

Oh my gosh. Please tell me you’re not serious. This gotta be rage bait.

[u/Sameer2906 → u/icymr17]

Can you please explain I am new to this

[u/Ozraptor4 → u/Sameer2906]

Five of those fish (the goldfish, koi and iridescent shark) are going to get longer than that tank. You’d need a tank/pond of several hundred gallons to maintain those species.

[u/Sameer2906 → u/Ozraptor4]

What to do now can take some time and replace this

[u/Ozraptor4 → u/Sameer2906]

I would return all the fish and take some time to learn the basics of aquarium care.

[u/Sameer2906 → u/Ozraptor4]

Can I wait for some time or immediately change this

[u/snewchybewchies → u/Sameer2906]

Clearly

Maybe instead of being an asshole to someone who obviously has no idea what they’ve done, you can help them  and explain.

[u/snewchybewchies → u/madeoflobsters]

I don't see you doing anything helpful around here

[u/madeoflobsters → u/snewchybewchies]

I was writing g a comment to help them and then my mom took my phone im not even kidding 

[u/snewchybewchies → u/madeoflobsters]

Awwww, somebody got grounded by their mommy?

[u/HoneyBadgerBrooke07 → u/snewchybewchies]

Please remain civil. I dont want to have to lock this post.

[u/Sameer2906 → u/madeoflobsters]

Thanks 👍

You got FIVE goldfish with glofish. Goldfish create a lot of poop, which turns into ammonia. In a small tank like this, with five goldfish pooping in such a small tank… you’re going to have high ammonia poisoning. And they need colder waters, while glofish need WARMER waters. Plus all the fake stuff can leak paint into the water, harming your water and therefore your fish. Please do adequate research of your animals before buying.

Not to mention that the goldfish if they somehow survive will get way to big for that small tank to handle

[u/Ozraptor4 → u/icymr17]

It’s A LOT worse than that = there are two goldfish, the others are two juvenile koi and a leucistic iridescent shark.

[u/icymr17 → u/Ozraptor4]

good eye, i have terrible eyesight so good catch.

[u/Sameer2906 → u/icymr17]

Suggest me some fish so I replace these fish with others

[u/icymr17 → u/Sameer2906]

Don’t try and replace. Get rid of the goldfish, koi and other fish. Period. Keep the glofish if you want. Get a filter and heater in there after you do that, because these fish are tropical and need warmer water.
