I have a 40 gal stretch Hex w/ 5 fancy goldfish in it. Tank has been set up for over a year although it was moved into a new apt. 5 months ago. About a month ago the goldfish were displaying some vigorous breeding behavior and banged each other up pretty good. Started noticing some red streaking in the tail of my red cap oranda, and then my black moor started showing signs of popeye. I treated the tank with erithymycin(sp), ( assuming the streaking was septicemia ) and purchased some anti-biotic food. It has been 30 days since the treatment and I have been feeding the medicated food at least once a day. The oranda's tail is still showing the streaks and the moor still has the popeye. Both fish are eating and otherwise seem healthy. Do I need to retreat or does it just take time for these things to go away? BTW I do a 25% water change every week. Water parameters are all in check.
