About a week and a half ago I put 3 small (2-3 inch) fantail goldfish in my empty, cycled 30 gallon tank. One fantail, who is bright orange/red with white patches, had some bits of black coloring on the tips of some of his fins, which is now spreading to his body. He is eating normally and swimming around most of the time, except for a few occasions the past few days when I have found him resting on the bottom of the tank. I know that goldfish can change color, but I am not convinced that this is what is happening with my fantail. (also, one of his tail fins seems to look a bit "wilted" but this may be my imagination)
Water conditions:
ammonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate-5ppm
I just finished treating for ich with heat and salt, and I used a product called "Ick Guard" last weekend.
I did some searches online and found "Myxobacteriosis" which is described as black patches on the body caused by poor water conditions (which i don't have) and which is best treated with a product called "Phenocide" by Aquatronics which i can't seem to find.
what do you think???
