I have a 55 gallon tank with 4 fancy goldfish. They have been doing fine up until now.
Today, I noticed that my large fancy and bubble cheek have been hanging around at the top of the tank (other fish are fine). They have never done this before.
I have a air stone pumping a lot of bubbles in to the tank and a Cascade 1000 filter (100 gallon filter).
I just took reading and I have the following:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite .5
Nitrate 20
High PH 7.4
Is my tank too hot?
I checked my thermometer and saw that the water is at 74 to 75 degrees. The room I keep the tank in is kept at a constant 72.
I shut all the lights and lowered the thermostat in the room to 70.
Any ideas?
Thanks
