Hi all.
My ranchu goldfish seems to be dying.
It lives in a 55gal with one other goldfish and 4 mystery snails. Temp stays around 70, or whatever room temperature happens to be. I have a sun sun canister filter.
PH is 8. I have been struggling with high ph for awhile with this tank. I am working on it with peat moss and possibly buying an OR filter.
Amonia is 0
N3 is 0
N2 0
The ranchu hasn't eaten in 3 days now. It was just hanging out at the top corners of the tank and was listless. Today I found him sitting on the bottom of the tank. There seems to be damage around his gills, I'm thinking maybe flukes? I don't have a microscope and can't diagnose for sure. I will attach photos and videos via igmur links.
My current course of action is to move him to my quarentine tank. I will dose him with prazi pro, and maybe salt but not immediately.
Please help me figure this out. If I can save him I want to. He is very beautiful with a great personality
