Hello. I always seem to be posting on here for one problem or
another. This is really about an ongoing problem that I've had. I have my 4 fancy goldfish. I suspect most of you feel like you know them personally. Anyway, I had a problem with my Ryukin who was just floating away in the middle of the tank. She was having a split tail and very long thin white stools. Well the good news is that she is sooo much better. She still has a couple of 'misty looking' scales but is like her former self again. I haven't seen any more thin white stools from my fantail either. The problem is with my black moor and pearlscale. My black moor looked like he had fungus. He had had tail and fin rot not long after i got him from the pet store. Its very easy to identify on a black moor :-) My pearlscale has red streaks at the end of his tail. So I used Furanase for 4 days, 50% daily water changes and 1 table spoon of salt per 5 gallons. After the 4 days the fantail and ryukin seemed to be much better. The red streaks are still on the pearlscale and the misty scales are on the blackmoor. Both are slightly lethargic and often rest on the bottom of the tank. Yesterday I purchased some quick cure to see if that helps. They are also eating antibiotic food. The don't seem keen on this. I have also changed the water changes to every other day. I think it was stressing them too much. Is there anything else i can do for them? I am goign to start feeding them normally tonight. I think a week on that awful food is enough. Sorry to keep burdening you all with all of this. Will be so happy when I can change the water once a week and just sit and enjoy. Thanks in advance Mellie |
