I have 3 goldfish in 29 gallons tank .
In Past , i have one goldfish had dropsy but it have cured after i
added anti-bacteria solution in to the tank.
However , yesterday the same gold fish was struck by the dropsy again .

about a week ago, I notice a spit fin on one of the golds.

research and came to the conclusion
that it was either fin rot or too much salt.

I have Waterhome5 5 gallon tank, which has been home to 3 Golden Dannios and
3 Red Eyed Tetras for the last 4 months.
Everything was going well, apart from the occurrence of algae on the tank
wall and floor.

I have had tropical fish for a while now, but thought I would give gold fish
a try.  I bought 6 gold fish about a month ago. They are in a 55 gallon
tank.  One of them died already.  Another one was so pretty when I bought
it, it was only colored orange and white (common ...

powerhaed and to my surprise

What's the verdict on malachite green/formalin remedies like Quickcure
and Rid-Ich+? Do they kill the biofilter or not? I'm in a situation
where I need to use it, but I don't want to kill my biofilter in the
