  • Euthanize. Freezer or vodka drops. ASAP until the other fish get sick too.
  • You should've started with "goldfish". Goldfish are very dirty creatures - they are very active, eat a lot, poop a lot and are VERY messy. Many people (me included) won't even buy your used tank if they new you had goldfish in it. Very few fish can co-habitate with goldfish, and plecos are not really hardy enough. Algae: 1. Cut down on feeding, switch to pellets instead of flakes or anything else, make sure they eat everything. Remember - fish is a closest relative of a snake and snakes eat once a month. 2. See if you have to many phosphates in the water - if you don't have a test kit take your water to petco or any other store. 3. Make sure your tank isn't getting too much light. 8hr a day and even less if it's exposed to a lot of ambient light. 4. Put in some plant that will compete with algae for nutritients 5. Try Algone, I love the product.
