Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / August 2005Ailing fish
One of my goldfish has been kind of listless for the past week, dorsal fin down, not too interested in eating, more actually floating around the tank than swimming. This morning I hoticed that its usually white tail is taking on the color of dark orange (the fish is orange). Is the beginning if ick? If it isn't, any ideas on what it could be? Should I segregate him from the other two fish? Many thanks for your help.... Tispe That is probably an internal bacterial infection. I had a similar situation in the past. The blood vessels swell, and the fish looks redder. I've lost 3 goldfish to this... so the earlier you start treatment, the better. > One of my goldfish has been kind of listless for the past week, dorsal fin > down, not too interested in eating, more actually floating around the tank [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Tispe Does anyone know what treatment is necessary?

I live in a fairly rural area.....I'll definitely call a fish store (it's kinda small and not well stocked) and ask for that. I also read up on something called tail rot (which my aforementioned ailing fish is now sporting black on its tail and one lower fin, but the fish is actually more active than before and is finally coming up to eat. anyway the remedy for tail rot was something like "copper" can't remember. Thanks, G, for the tip on the MediGold........ >> Does anyone know what treatment is necessary? > > Can you get hold of MediGold medicated fish food?? > I live in a fairly rural area.....I'll definitely call a fish store (it's > kinda small and not well stocked) and ask for that.

What are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. Black could be ammonia burns healing. |
