Question
I have 3 gold fishes in a small tank and one of has lost all the fins since a month and also has around 2-3 lumps at the tail. The gold fish looks white now.  When I change the water every month I put 2 drops of De-Chlorinator. Please reply as soon as possible.

Answer
Hi Baghzaad;

The tank is just too small to have goldfish in. They need at least a 10 gallon tank, bigger as they grow. Get one that has a good filter on it.

Until you can get them into something bigger, make 25% water changes daily. This will keep them alive temporarily.
