I’ve had these fish for 5 years. One is a Shubunkin Goldfish and the other is an Oranda goldfish. I made a mistake last week by adding 2 new goldfish. I took the new goldfish back to the store because they have given my fish ICH, and the symptoms of ammonia poisoning. After returning the fish that gave my fish the disease, I immediately brought a sample of my water to petsmart. To my surprise, my ammonia measured 0, but my nitrates and water hardness were super high. The petsmart lady was very knowledgeable about my concerns and gave me Water Conditioner by TOPFIN and STRESS COAT+ by API. I also purchased a brand new FLUVAL 70 GAL filter and took these home. My fish look as if blood is flowing through their fins and one of them definitely has tail rot. I did a 75% water change and added these products. Then, I noticed that The Oranda’s fin rot was getting worse so I went back to Petsmart and I bought fin and body care that contains Doxycycline. Now, it’s only been maybe 10 hours since the medicine was added but I’ve realized they both have ICH. Later, I will go buy The ERYTHROMYCIN medicine and add that after I do a 50% water change. I am very worried and I am willing to pay as much as I have to to make sure that they live. I just need a lot of peoples advice so I know what to do at this point I think that they might be close to dying but they’re still alive and maybe I can save them if I do all the proper steps. They’re in pretty rough condition and I feel horrible because they are so beautiful and it’s my fault that they are sick. I NEED ANYONE’s ADVICE PLEASE!!
Please I just need anyone to help me. I just really want them to live because I love them and I didn’t mean to do this to them.
