A little history
I have a 36x12x15 fish tank with a fluval 2+ filter and air stone, which had 3 large goldfish and a fantail in (all 4 years old) 1 of the large goldfish unfortunatly died shortly after moving house - I found that the power had gone off and the airstone had stopped working - it died during the night All was well for a while.. Now I recently purchased 3 more young fantails (grey colour) and added them to the tank I seem to be having problems since One of the goldfish developed 3 white "spots" on its mouth and seemed less energetic than normal I assumed this was a mouth fungus so I put some fungus treatment into the water Then the 2 large goldfish and fantail started just sitting on the bottom They have been like this now for a week - they hardly move, just lay on the bottom and very rarely eat I just soaked some food in water for a while and dropped it in and they've completely ignored it A few days after they stopped moving around one of the new fantails was found dead - unsure why but its been removed from the tank The 2 other NEW fantails seemed fine swimming around happily and they still feed although one does seem to have some red patches on its tails.. Im at a loss as to what to try - I noticed their poo has had a white stringy bit too it and has been floating around - I cleaned most of it out but it didnt help I also removed 60% of the water from the tanks and replaced with fresh and that still hasnt helped Ive been treating them with swim bladder treatment fluid every 48 hours for 3 days and still no change The large fantail and the 2 large goldfish are all huddled around the filter on the bottom 24 hours a day now and its really worrying me Sorry for the long post - Any help would be very much appreciated - Phil |
