New goldfish quarantined

[KittyKatHerine]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this website and I really need someone else's opinion and expertise.


I have 2 new comet goldfish in quarantine for about 4 weeks now. One has 2 small white spots on his tail for 3 weeks now...At first I thought it was because he bumped into something and it caused trauma, but then if it was trauma it would have disappeared within days. I thought it was ich, but it's been those 2 spots for 3 weeks now and no change in size or anything. Can someone help me out? The other fish doesn't have any spots at all.

- I gave melafix for about 3 days on the 2nd week of QT.
- both are active, no fin clamping, no signs of any disease, well except for those 2 spots on the male goldfish's tail.
- last time I checked the nitrite was high, but no ammonia.

you could just put them in your tank and see how they do because my peacock bass had the same thing, as soon as you put them in make sure you turn up the heat about to 86-87 and add some aquarium salt and make sure you watch for any changes as in other fish getting those white spot's or not. hope my advice help's some what

Hey, I have been putting salt though. I'm just scared they might give my current fish something. I remember I bought plants once from petco and a few weeks later my tank was loaded with creepy crawlys, so disgusting.
