Up up to the Skye

Sad news, very sad news. Both of my celestials finally gone to heaven. No matter how many times I've changed the water in the tank, the fish still seems unhappy with the water condition. Not long after the deaths of Nemo the newly hatched goldie and Skye one of the celestial goldie, another celestial goldie, Sunshine, passed away last Monday. The celestials definitely one of the most unqiue goldfish in my tank, but unfortunately they both gave up due to my negligence. X-X...

I've cleaned my fluval filter many times, and also changed the water numerous occassions, but the fish still seems having trouble breathing, and lost their appetites. The only thing I havent cleaned for a while was the big filter. I thought I can avoid for not cleaning it, as it's a big task. But it was looking serious losing 2 fish in one week, so finally I decided to do another half water changed, clean both filters!!! I hope the big clean up will get rid as much bad bacteria as possible and the fish will get well soon. Poor Sebastien almost lost his tail again, but he still swimming upside down happily. What a fighter. I hope the tank will become stable again, if not I can't imagine what will happen to them when I come back from New Zealand in a week time.
