Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / September 2007Goldfish lost co-ordination & turned silver.
Can anyone diagnose what is exactly wrong with one of our goldfish. 1 of our 15 fish is showing some wierd behaviour. About 2 months ago it turned completely silver ( took around a fortnight to happen) ... the fish was pale orange to begin. Although it's feeding normally, with the others & swimming just as fast, with them, it appears to have lost all sense of co-ordination, swimming / flipping around in circles & swimming upside down sometimes. My wife suggested that it may be *blind* ( ?? ) .... but, it reacts to movement outside the tank, just like the others. Any ideas ? The very first thing to do is to check your water quality. What are your ammonia, nitrite , nitrate and PH levels? Also what size tank are the fish in? Should be pretty big if you have 15 goldfish in it! Once we establish this then we can help you further.

However, I use a recommended product called "aquasafe* , everytime I change water in the tank & in the 18 months that we've had the fish/tank we've had no other *casualties*. It's a 4 foot tank, with 2 pumps (either end ) running. > Also what size tank are the fish in?

Buy a kit or take it to your local aquatic store and ask them to test it for you. Goldfish need at least 10 gallons each and I guess your tank is no where near large enough for the quantity of fish you have in it. Mel. >> The very first thing to do is to check your water quality.

I bet if you test your water you'll find you have significant amounts present. Mel >> The very first thing to do is to check your water quality.
