    You are over stocked by a large margin. How long has it been running/cycled & what is the filtration?

    Stop messing with your pH please, You are doing your fish no favors. A stable ph is absolutely key but we will get back to that.

    Do you have a liquid test kit that tests for ammonia & nitrItes?

    What is your water change [WC] routine like?

    EDIT: What are you using [I mean your test kit] to monitor your cycle on your 20?

    I water chg about every 2 weeks, I am a novice but have had this tank stable several months...

    Have strip tests for ammonia and quick strip but liquid ph, I'm terrified, asked a friend she said google so I found y'all! Haven't done anything in about 2 hours... Watching fish swim nuts a bit and then they look normal.

    Help!!!

    How long has this tank been running with that stock? I find it hard to believe it has been several months with no deaths from aggression.
    Changing water every two weeks with that stock is probably the issue. Change more water now and don't add anything but dechlorinater to the water. The nitrate levels are probably through the roof, and if the tank isn't cycled so are the ammonia and nitrite levels.

    I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
    Smaug, you're here a lot just to say it's a waste of your time, poor baby, I bet you don't even know how big a loser you are, and how much we laugh at you and your foolish attempt to give your life meaning. Quit drinking, get a life, go take care of your family, grow up!

    Strips are notoriously inaccurate, The liquid tests would serve you far better.

    Is there a reason you haven't tested the tank with issues for ammonia & whatever else they test for? Please do - That info is relative to your situ?

    How many tanks are we discussing here? Stability won't cycle a tank. The 30 gallon is severely overstocked and needs a water change. Have you tested the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate on it yet? Please test and let us know what the results are so we can help further.

    Heads up, You do not have anywhere near a big enough tank for koi. By that I mean it needs a pond to live in.
