Hello all,
I have 3 small goldfishes (1inch-2inch including tail) in 60l tank with
big filter and air pump. Water parameters - PH about 7, NO3 about 20 and
NO2 minimal (zero).
About ten days ago one of my GF starts to behave in stange way. She
was standing in corner of tank, or lying at the bottom or plants. Upper
fin is coiled.
Next, five days ago I saw black pit or hole at one side of head, just
after the head, and GF was more time tying at the bottom.
Till today this goldfish has dark gray smudges in 5 places mainly close
to the head. I separated this GF and today I add aquaristic salt to
water 1 teaspoon per gallon. I don't know if it will help.
On puregold web page
(http://puregold.aquaria.net/pg/disease/symptom/byname.htm#HEXAMITA) I
found that It can be hole-in-head disease (hexamita - parasite I guess)
but I am not sure. I haven't seen any white threads coming out as it is
described at puregold.
I applied salt dips 2 teaspoon per
10 Liters (little bit more than 2 gallons), and I added metronidazol
[50mg/10l].
My fish got secondary thrush (mould) infection at the right side. Today
I added methyl
blue against secondary infection.
Please help me ASAP. I have this fish more than two years and I don't
want to lose her. She is very week today.
Please lot at the photo of sick GF - I hope it will help:
