NEED HELP ON MYSTERY GOLDFISH SPOTS

[ConanTheLibraia]

I just discovered this morning that my goldfish has white spots all over it. What could this be?

 

[ConanTheLibraia]

I have done some reasearch and I think it may be velvet? Im not totally sure though. What would you all reccomend?

 

[d9hp]

Sounds like ICK!!! Go to the LFS and pick up some melafix. Take the carbon out of your filter and then do what the box says.

 

[ConanTheLibraia]

take the carbon out as in take the media out?

 

[d9hp]

yes, it will take the melafix out of the water

also, raise the temp in the tank up to 79-80

dont take the carbon out unless you get the melafix

 

[ConanTheLibraia]

I don't have a heater since its a goldfish tank, I am taking your suggestion and making a trip to the LFS to get the melafix this afternoon. Sound alright?

 

[d9hp]

yes, forgot about the goldfish coldwater thing

 

[ConanTheLibraia]

alright thanks a lot man.

I think it also had a mix of tail rot too, whatever it all is, my water quality and fish is absolutly unhealthy and I am working to make it better. I lost a black moor, it had tail rot, and it got to its body. Day 2 of the melafix, and I think the other fish may be gettting better, although dosnt aquarium pharmasuticals also make a Super Ick Cure or somthing like that? The melafix seems like an all around type of thing.
