   Am really quite fed up with how many goldfish have died the goldfish never stick around for long in our tank.

  The nitrates are low and ammonia there isnt any real plants in there, just filters and ornaments.

 Have more then enough filters to turn the water around so its not an oxygen issue.

  In order to get a lovely tank with at least three goldfish living happily in there what should be checking for if the nitrates are low and the ammonia low aswell. 

  The ph is high does that matter?  8 +

 The water think is hard here.

   Not sure if what the potassium sorry for spelling is is that important.

  Buy a group of them they will all die apart from one every time why is this? 

   Mostly orandas buy nothing to fancy comets etc.

A large hong kong plec is in there but he dont bother them.

  Also feed them flakes make they are getting to much air in their bladders swimming up and glupping it down.
