This happened once before with a couple of my puffers years ago before I found out that they were brackish fish and needed some salt in the water. Once I did the water change and added salt, they're fins cleared up.
But now I'm having the same problem with my goldfish. The fins used to be all white but now the spines that connect the webbing (I don't know the name for it) have turned red at the base and its creeping further towards the tip of the fin. It looks like blood honestly.
I've already done 2 water changes in less than 2 weeks because the tank is full of ich at the moment. The ich came first and then the fins started to turn red. What is wrong with my goldfish? The temp is slightly above 86F to help get rid of the ich. I also used some ich treatment but stopped a couple of days ago (which is when I noticed the fins starting to turn red).
