Several new goldfish with ich and red streaks
 

Hello all!

I bought some new comet goldfish and have them in quarantine. One has
ich so I put in a 3% salt solution and raised the temp to 80 degrees
while keeping it in the dark. - in lew of this what is the best med
for ich?

The others have red on them I'm guessing from poor water and stress
before I got them. There now getting a nutritious diet and I'm
keeping the water quality in top condition.

Suggestions?

Please write me if you can -

look at ich here. you MUST be using 0.3% salt or the fish would be dead.
it can be used for ich. there are other treatments, like quick cure.
red CAN be caused by ich, but also stress from bad water.
polyaqua is a good soothing conditioner for gills.
clean water, clean water, ...... and feed VERY small amounts of food at a time.

Thanks Ingrid :) Yes .03 % One table spoon per gallon. There
getting 100% water change each day while in quarantine. I'm thinking
quick cure might be the way to go - all this water changing is making
me really tired. Those 5 gallon buckets are heavy!

that concentration isnt enough to treat ich. the high temps will speed the cycle,
but not kills the ich, there is an easy way called tub to tub

for changing water, I have an easy system.
