I am an expert on cichlid fishes, particularly New World cichlids. My broader expertise includes the behavior, ecology and reproduction of fishes in general. (I am NOT an expert on Goldfish). Please do not use abbreviations, such as "my GT has a swollen eye" because I don't know what a "GT" is. The more clearly you can explain your question, the better chance I have of understanding what it is that you seek. I keep fishes both as a scientist and as a hobbyist and I currently maintain about 140 aquariums. | |

Hi Liane, The problem is your tap water. Ask your Pet Store Manager if they are having problems with their water, if they live nearby. You could also call the "water inspection unit" in your town, or

Hi Liane, As I mentioned to you in a previous letter, I would not drink the water from your tap. The pipes in your building should be checked. Keep her in bottled water, you have no choice right now
