I have had this Gold Danio for about a year now and something is very wrong with him. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until just now that he was about to die. The other fish have been picking at his tail today while he was floating at the top. I just now put him in a one gallon tank for the time...

The fish with bloat sadly did not make it.... I am still working to try and cure the others with the white bumps though.

As for those medicines you recommended, I don't think they sell that in Petco do they? I could never find it. Also, should I add the other 5 dissolved tablespoons of aquarium salt into the tank throughout the day or wait a while? The fish still seems to be doing okay but just looks horrible. I...

Okay. I am sure that these fish got this fungus type disease from being in the muddy bucket of water I found them in since my water parameters have been stable. I went and bought aquarium salt today in hopes of curing him. I did a 50% water change and added about half of the recommended salt...

Is there anybody else who has any ideas on what to try? I didn't try the salt. I'm sort of afraid to since I've never used it before.

I have been gone since Monday and my husband was in charge of feeding the fish. I'm not sure how this fish got so big while I was gone. Is something wrong or is it about to have some babies? I have a feeling that something is wrong with it because the other fish have white bumps growing on...

Hi, I know this is kind of off topic and im sorry about your fish, but would you look at my recent post on here titled "Sick fish with white bumps". I think the bump your describing is similar to what my goldfish that I rescued are dealing with. If it is, I want to figure out what it is and get...

Hmm, idk if it is lymphocystis or not. If so, there is no treatment and it seems they will live normally with these bumps. Ive had them almost a month now and they have lived. I will try the salt thing. I tried warmer water and that didnt work. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Aquarium Advice...

I hope these are better pictures. It's not easy taking pictures of fish. Also, this is the fish that has it the worst. The others have at least one of these bumps on them.

I can try. It may be a little while though. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yes, I tested the ph and it was high, like 8.2. Is that bad? Also, I may have added too much. I put a dose in, then that afternoon I did a 50% water change cause company was coming over. I thought the water change took out the algae medicine so I added another dose. I hope that didnt hurt them...

I couldn't find the other medicines you mentioned at Petco. However, I found some of Kordon's Rid-Fungus. I treated the tank with this for about 3 or 4 days and saw no difference what so ever in the fish. Am I using the wrong medicine or is this not a fungus? The fish seem happy although they...

I have my 4 goldfish in my pond and I don't know what is wrong with them. They seem to be shedding skin. They didn't eat today which is weird and they seem a little lethargic. I have a fountain filter and an air supply inside the pond. They have been in there about a month now. I've had to treat...

Hmm. My fish still looks that way. I wonder how long it takes because she has been that big for a while. And I haven't tried breeding them. I guess it just kinda happened. I hope if she does have some that they will survive.

I've noticed for a couple of weeks now that my long-fin leopard danio is getting pretty chunky. Please let me know what you think. Here's whats in my 50 gallon tank: 1 long fin leopard danio 1 long fin gold danio 2 long fin zebra danio 3 white skirt tetras 1 mystery snail 2 ghost shrimp Also...

Thank you for replying back! I couldn't take the dirty look about the tank anymore so I cleaned it last night. I didn't want to mess up the cycle I had with the medications but since you don't think that medicine is working then I will just quit it all together. I don't have a heater for this...

I have two pond size goldfish that I rescued from a really disgusting habitat. They were found in a bucket that had really nasty water inside it. Not sure how long they were living this way. Now they are in a cycled 55 gallon with some other smaller minnow-like goldfish that seems to have a...

I rescued some goldfish that were left behind by some renters and the landlord didn't take care of them for a while. They were found inside a nasty bucket and the water looked like muddy water. I couldn't even see the fish inside it was so nasty. So, I decided to try and help these guys out...

Great ideas! Ill give those a try! Thanks! Sent from my GT-P5210 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok, thanks everyone! Ill wait till it warms up some more. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yeah, the bleach probably killed them. I used to empty it, scrub it with just a brush and water, then put water back in it. But I think that is causing it to be uncycled. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Somehow one of my filter media packets tore and caused all the little carbon stones to fall into my sand. How in the world could I get all of those out? Ive tried picking them out but thats going to take forever. I tried burying them in the sand but they keep making their way up to the top. It...

Ok, tell me...im probably doing things wrong too. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok, so spring is finally here in Arkansas and I want to move my four big goldfish back out in the pond. However, im afraid that I may do something wrong again so I need advice. I took some parameters of the pond and the ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites are 0. But the pond looks horribly...

Right, I am planning on getting another filter. Ill try for 500 gph. Thanks for that! Also, I was wondering if the feeder goldfish for like 13 cents at petco is a smart buy? Ive heard of those fish maybe being sick. But I really want to save some. Some are actually pretty IMO. Im torn between...
