Looks good to me. Is he active and eating?

Sometimes when it rains it pours. You are on the right track with the temperature. When in doubt up your water changes to every day or every other day. Everything is better with clean water. Sometimes nothing can be done when some fish are so sick. Personally I wouldn't start adding meds. I...

You may want to consider getting a water changer that hooks onto your faucet. It makes large water changes a breeze and I find I will change water much more often because it's easier. Best thing I've ever bought for my tank.

That's too bad but I would move him into a hospital tank and keep the water very clean until he's healed up. He will learn to live with one eye.

Hi there best thing to do is put him in a hospital tank and treat him for popeye. He'll be perfect in a few days

Your tank is only large enough for the goldfish alone.

It's 115 gallons. Mine doesn't state it but it should.

I used ge silicone 1 for kitchens and bath. Tube did not state mold inhibitors or bioseal. But when I googled the UPC it stated mold and mildew resistant. I got two tubes made by marine land for 12 each worth every penny after what I've been through.

I already removed the silicone. Be careful if you reseal your tank the silicone I used did say 100% silicone. I'm resealing it with silicone made by all glass aquariums just to be safe.

I used ge silicon 1. But I learned after the fact that it contained mold an mildew resistant stuff in it even though it isn't listed on the tube. I lost all my fish.

Good advice I'm just gonna start fresh. My remaining fish may not make it anyway.

One more question going forward once my tank is fixed and back up running do you think I should replace the filter media? Would it absorb the poison from the silicone?

Many of the videos I watched said that the tube would say not for aquarium use, because of liability reasons but that it was still safe. Ya right.

Well swimming pooping and eating is a good sign. It's too bad some chain stores are so terrible. The pet smart in my town is top notch always healthy fish and nice people. It's ten times better than the family owned store down the road. Just depends on who manages it.

Thanks everyone. I felt like I did the research online about the silicone. And watched YouTube videos and all recommended ge silicone 1. I wish I had spent the extra money on aquarium silicone instead but what's done is done I just hope I don't lose anymore in the quarantine tank. I have 11...
