Thanks for the replies guys. Right now my fish seem to be doing okay. The worm is still on both of the goldfishes though . I still have the copper in the tank so I'm just waiting to finish that treatment before trying anything else. I have tried to salt dip both of my goldfishes.

Hey I'm having a problem with anchor worms. I first noticed one on one of my fish as it appeared as a small "string" hanging from his head. It went away or so I thought and left a red mark on his head. A couple of days later I notice two red marks on his body. One on his side and one on his...

Hey I have an oranda goldfish with a big sore / would on its side. Tested water with test kit and everything was perfect. Tried melafix but it doesn't seem to help. What should my next action be since I have another goldfish picking at the wound constantly. The other goldfish is smaller so I was...

It may be getting slightly better. I've treated for maybe 4-5 days now using melafix. If this fails what can I try? Thanks

I'm not to sure? I think he may have had a little sore there when I first got him which has obviously gotten bigger. Don't have any sharp objects in the tank.

Hey guys. I have a oranda goldfish seems to have a sore on the side of its body. He is swimming fine appetite is fine. I tested my water with a water test kit and every was great. I just tried using melafix. Should this be enough? Thanks

I filled the tank with water from my current aqaurium and put in an air stone. Do you need a filter in a hospital tank if your are doing frequent water changes?

What's the best water test kit for freshwater fish?

Is the fluval chi 6.6 gallon tank good enough to use for a 3 inch goldfish? As a hospital tank of course Thanks

Change my 40 gallon twice a week. 50% changes. Is this too much? Guy at the fish store thought so

Thanks for the info guys! The black moor has a similar spot on its side. Kind of fuzzy like. I'm gonna try the pimafix and see what happens. It says to use for 7 days then do a water change. Should I keep using until the spots go away or keep dosing for 7 days? Thanks

Anyone?

Hi. I have a 40g tank with four goldfish in it. I realize this is small but I do 50% water changes twice per week and have gotten my water tested numerous times at the pet store and have been told my water is perfect. I have a canister filter and heat the water to 75f as well as an air stone for...
