OK guys my goldfish are having issues.
Curent stats of tank:
Size -37 Gallons
Stock - 4 Cory Cats, 3 Ryukin Goldfish(2 very large, one medium/small)
Regular Cleaning - I try to do it every 2-3 weeks, usually 50% water changes.
Also a piece of driftwood is in there. Can post photos if needed.
Products I Use:
API Freshwater Salt
Topfin Bacterial Supplement
Kordon Novaqua Plus Water Conditioner
2 of my babies, the bigger goldfish, have developed swim bladder disease. One developed it a while back. I came here and I was told by you guys and the person at Petsmart to try feeding them Seaweed and frozen green peas. I did the seaweed like every day for about 2 weeks with no change in the sick goldfish's swimming pattern. I went back to Petsmart to pick up the usual stuff (conditioner and stuff) and reported that another guy had the disease. She said instead to peel the peas and feed them non frozen. I started that today. Any other tips you guys got?
Also I changed the water like two days ago, and using the API kit the water was like 40ppm or more of nitrate(ammonia and nitrites were 0). I just did a water change today and it was back up, possibly worse than it was two days ago. I use tap water that comes out of the bathroom sink(dunno if this matters). I don't know what to do. please help.
