So awhile ago my*Goldfish*had a hookworm incident and it was all my fault but I've learned my lesson now, but since then they've developed red lines on their tails and my bubble eye has some on the bubble part. When they had hookworm, red lines where everywhere, but now its only cleared up to be about two or three lines, but the problem is they wont go away. Theyve had these 2 or 3 lines for a few months now while the ones that where all over their tails went away instantly after treating them.
I've read up on it and it says the water might be the problem, the tank is holding to many fish, they are stressed, or not enough air. So I checked the water and nothing wrong. Air cannot be the problem because air is always being created in my aquarium set up, they never show signs of stress like clamped fins, not eating, or hiding. I have a 125 gallon tank with 4 Goldfish in it so I think I'm good there too. Everything is fine, but the red lines stick around no matter what, I took all the plants out, feed them different food, took out decorations, but nothing at all, they stay the same. I even did more than half water change just in case. Nothing either.
I've researched more about it and saw it can also mean a virus.....Ive come to the conclusion that this might be it. However I dont know how to treat it. My fish have been fine for the past year and a half and have only shown these lines since the incident. I've read that they become lethargic and dont eat with the virus but mine are quite the opposite. They swim around constantly and come to me when it's feeding time and always want more. I've seen that rotten food can also cause it but the food is long gone when they eat and I have a very good filtration system. So ...what do I do? Are they long gone? How do I go about the curing process or is there no such thing? Please, someone help me out.
Thank you for taking the time to read into my situation.
