So, in three days I'm going to Paris. Having said that, here's my fish situation:
I have a 30 gallon tank that has been running with a canister filter for about three weeks. I've seeded it with the sponge from a well established filter several times, but its been an emergency home for my 5 goldfish after a tank cracked. They've been in there for a few days. I've noticed that one of them has frayed anal fins and tail fin. The skin between the rays seems to be gone on part of her tail and anal fins. I put her in another emergency 10 gallon tank. She's a 2 inch pearlscale by the way. I don't know whats wrong with her. I also don't know how I should treat the water in the 30 gallon tank that I just removed her from because its still working on building bacteria I'm sure and there are four more goldfish in the tank. I've been changing the water every few days, but I won't be able to do that for the week while I'm in Paris. Any help would be appreciated.
