Does anyone own this book? I was thinking of buying it for reference. It seems to promote natural disease treatment. I found the anesthetic and after bath for Midge's wen surgery on this site. Opinions please :fish2:

My baby, Bubbles, survived Gas Bubble disease. Now, a year later the left eye started leaking what looks like Vilreal fluid. It is yellowish and clear. The eye has grown much in size over the last few weeks and I expect it to pop soon. What should I expect??? Will the total eye come out when it...

Midge's right eye is now almost completely covered with wen. It is gorgeous but have made obstacles quite difficult. This is his only good eye as he lost the other when he was younger. His brother has a nice wen growing but his eye are totally prominent. I just couldn't stand it any longer. In...

Sight impaired fish don't eat plants. Midge started exhibiting symptoms of a physical swim bladder defect. He was constantly on his nose or stuck in plants. Bubbles always stays in the clear swim column. I started spending my days nudging Midge out of plants etc. I kept a quarantine rank by the...

Hi, my extremely large female Ryunkin/Red Cap Oranda mix is starting a color change. I have read the Rainbow Garden article on colors, mats and changes and have to admit it confuses me a bit. Dash was pure mettalic white with a red cap that extends onto the shoulders when I brought her home...

Hi, almost a year ago I ordered 7 true Siamese Algae Eaters from a Hawaiian breeder. They were together in a 15 gallon heavily planted tank for months. When I felt they were getting quite large for the tank size I split them into two groups and put one group in a 120 gallon and 4 in a heavily...

I am extremely perplexed by this stalk-like growth or parasite that I have found on my Lion Head Oranda's Wen. It appeared very quickly. Coincidentally, I had done a routine, once a year, preventative Prazi-Pro treatment the week before. He acts perfectly healthy and unaffected by the...

Does anyone know why Rick has sold out? What is the best Goldfish pellet other than Pro-Gold and what substitute is there for Medi-Gold for my Telescope. Sent from my HTC first using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I haven't posted in quite awhile, not that I have forgotten about the group. My phone had to be wiped and we are going through life events right now. I have 2 sight impaired fish that were moved to their own 55 planted tank over a month ago. Laughingly sight impaired fish don't eat your plants...

Hi, I have been experimenting with different types of plants in an attempt to find a wider selection for my tank. I have Orandas of various types and 1 Ryunkin. The plant you see, has been there for approximately 4 months. It is not exactly a really tough leaved plant but they have never touched...

Gosh, I haven't been on in so long. My calico exhibited mating behavior with my Redcap Oranda. Chased her for a full day. Now I know the sex of those two. All of the goldfish in my tank, except my white oranda with the corneal bubbles are mature. What I was wondering is, can I assume that the...

I know the Siamese Algae Eaters are a tropical fish. Their water parameters are much different. I have been reading numerous articles that they are capable of easily adapting to a wide range out of their natural parameters. They are listed as one of the safest natural algae eaters. Apparently...

Bubbles is moving into her new apartment soon. Belive it or not, it's parameters without water changes are better than her tub with constant WC. I did soak the bio-wheel in beneficial bacteria for a week before setting it up. I have been feeding them and actually need to clean the bottom this...

My quarantine tank with my GBD Oranda is in a constant state of cycling. Everyday her ammonia, and nitrates are mid-range. If I miss 1 day of at least 50% water change, they travel much higher. There is never anymore nitrate than is found in my tap water. It is obvious that it never has...

Bubbles is getting out of quarantine. It could take months or years for her eyes to go down (hoping they don't pop). Her sight is slightly impaired and she could never compete for food with the large fish in the 120 gallon. I am putting my little one eyed Lionhead in with her to keep her company...

I read a passage in an article recently that stated that you should not keep catfish with goldfish, because when the goldfish try to eat the catfish, the barbs get permanently lodged in their throat and cause the death of the goldfish. Are they speaking about Fancies and Cory Cats? My fish are...

If you remember, Bubbles is my beautiful white oranda with gas bubble disease in both eyes. She has gone through all treatment suggestions from our knowledgeable moderators and members. She was immediately quarantined when we came home. It took me a few days to see the corneal edema because I...

JLK if you remember, I have the little orange and white Lionhead that had her eye sucked out by a large Pleco (now gone). She and her sibling were the exact same size when they came home but now the larger is 5 times larger than Midge. I know she is getting enough to eat because she poops. I am...

I don't want to stress her out and treat for something that I am not sure about. It doesn't look exactly like Ich or fungus to me, but I am no expert. There is the larger one and two small ones. There are no other marks on her body. She has just started eating daphnia and 1 pellet soaked in...

I kept noticing that her eyes looked funny but she is in a translucent quarantine tub with one other fish. Since, I couldn't see properly through the side, what I could see was perfectly normal eyes. This morning I couldn't stand it any longer, so I caught her in my hands to get a close look...

You find yourself checking all of your fishes bottoms to see the color of their poop :-) Sent from my HTC first using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Here is my white oranda. She is starting to develop a wen. She is a metallic white. There is not one speck of color on her anywhere. Apparently, this is rare since I could only find two other pictures on the internet. I realize that at some time she could start to develop some color.

This morning I noticed that my orange and white Oranda, Betty, had a black spot on her side. When I removed her from the tank and felt it, it looked as if a scale was missing and the black spot felt slightly rough. There is only the one spot that I can see. This tank has been treated for...

I bought what is supposed to be a pure white Oranda, this evening. When I tried looking on the internet for white Orandas, there were only a very, very few listed. She is about 3"- 4"long and has the gorgeous flowing multiple tail. I might possibly see a wen starting to develop as her head is...
