Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi everyone,
Im still pretty new to fish keeping and i don't have much experience when it comes to fish disease and sickness.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out on this... I have had 2 comet goldfish since september last year. They are currently in a 200L ( 52 g) tank.One of the comets have white spots that come and go and started on her tail fin but now seem to be spreading to her other fins.Also i have seen a couple of spots on her head and they seem to come back in the same place every time.
I have treated them for ich twice with ichonex, added aquarium salt to the aquarium and even tried Melafix (not all at the same time) as i was advised by my LFS. So far nothing has worked.... This has been going on now for about 3 months and doesn't seem to be going away.It seems to go away for a week or so then come back, at one point she was gasping for air at the surface causing her to float and at other times laying on the bottom. When i used the ichonex for the first time she had seemed to be doing alot better for a couple of weeks and now she's not well again. I'm kind of confused and have no idea anymore what's going on here. I keep up with regular weekly partial water changes and always test the waters quality and it all seems fine.
Also i noticed a slight blood like streak on my other comets tail fin tonight but other than that he is not showing symptoms of anything at all. I have kind of lost hope in the LFS as i find they rarely give helpful advice. I'd really appreciate any comment or idea's thanks :|
