my mom needed her goldfish (4 of them) brought in for the winter and i took them since i have no fish in my 55. she's not making them a tank that they over winter in til after the new year.
after i acclimated them and let them go i got a shock as one of the comets has no tail. it was all cottony at the nub he could still swim sort of and he is eating.
is this just really bad tail rot. i couldn't do anything about it at the time and the next day it was much better. all the cottony material has fallen off. just the nub of his would be tail.
moms took good care of the pond i feel bad as i always check on them when i can and i never noticed anything wrong with any of them.
since it did really improve should i still go ahead and treat for fin rot. i have a bucket and can feed an air stone off my tank in the basement. i have about 5 or 6 1gallon doses of paraguard and even a full thing of betta revive if need be.
