Hi,
We have a fancy goldfish around 6 years old. He is in a 120L tank on his own, and we change 20% of his water weekly.
Previously, he had red streaks in his fins, and they never really went away. However, in the last 2 days he has been really ill.
He showed red around his gills, lying on the bottom a lot (which he used to do all the time since he was young), and then ended up at the top on his side. He also appears to be gasping.
His water parameters are NO2 = 0, NO3 = 20ppm, his pH is 6, and hardness is 0. He appeared to rally a bit just a few hours ago, but is now in a bottom corner partly on his side and almost shivering.
So, what do you suggest? We have performed several water changes over the last few days, and those are the readings from just 10 minutes ago.
