It is actually not my fish but Yes it just Recently recently appeared, i don't know the readings for any of those things would have to ask the owner first, If it is just poo *laughingc my friend won't hear the end of it anytime soon he was so worried lol, But will it come off by itself or is there something wrong that it is staying on there? If it helps my friend said the fish had Ick couple of days ago but he treated it
Hi, I need help with my goldfish too, and don't know how to start a new thread.. so i'll post it in this one.
I saved a little feeder fish from getting eaten at a wedding (some people are hicks) and set it up in a 10 gallon tank about 2 weeks ago. A few days after that, my sister bought two goldfsh from a petstore she worked at and put them in my tank. She wanted to help them out because they were in too small of a tank at the petstore. But I warned her not to put them in my 10 gallon b.c it's to small for 3 goldfish and the ammonia would build up too fast in my newly set up tank. But I woke up one morning with these two other goldfish in my tank.
Anyways, about a week later, one of the fish my sister brought home died, then the other one died the next day. I noticed they both had red bloody-like streaks around their gills, fins, and within their fins.
Now my, once very healthy, little feeder fish also has these red streaks throughout his body and he's laying on the bottom of the tank. His body almost looks like it's shedding skin b.c his fins have a fuzzy white appearance to them now and so does the rest of his body.
I bought some medicated fish food and am feeding him that but he isn't as active anymore and isn't eating much food now. The ammonia level in the tank is about 0.5 as of right now. I did a 30% water change right after the first fish died and have done two other ones since then to keep the ammonia levels down. I also added two table spoons of aquarium salt and the water conditioner to get the chlorine out.
I will post pictures of the white goldfish that died, as well as my sick goldfish. Please tell me what you think this is and what caused it so that I can prevent it form happening in the future. Also, please tell me what more I can do to save this little fish from dying. Thanks
