![]() Your main goal here is allow him/her to adapt and soon eat. Hikari is the brand I use due to reputation. get the little guy some frozen grub and try. You need to just stay calm, not over treat and be patient. Melafix has mixed reviews of the natural treatment, so worse case that's harmless to the baby.Īfter about 4 or 5 days and no visible issues seen but no improvement you can go to level 2. I know that can give anxiety, but if it was a digestion issue the tried & true method of no feeding for 2 - 3 days and peas really does help. plus not dry or hard in case we're looking at a digestion issue.Ĭontinue doing daily water changes of at least 50%, you main objective to ensure the little one takes food but don't stress if he does not for a few days. You can also see about frozen treats, blood worms & brine shrimp offers plenty of protein for the healing process. You'll need to continue to the 'level 3' treatment for a period of 5 - 7 days and monitor closely. Normally you will not have to keep the hospital tank in a spot without much more than day lighting, the darkness helps keep them calm. Keep in mind that salt also gives a calming effect, so laying at the bottom of the tank for the first day is not unusual as the little one adjusts. That's why a general treatment is a good first step. It is tough to diagnose until visible, and in my experience it is brought on from shock/stress. My sis does make me turn bubblers off at night because she works full time and is a light sleeper (filters still run though), but that shouldn’t be death-worthy either. Good parameters, maybe a slightly high ph, but not death worthy. I don’t really understand what about my tank would be making them sick though. They were from a completely different store though, so this makes me fear there is something wrong with my tank. it also took about the same amount of time for them to get sick. The last two goldfish that passed were in the same tank, that is what is concerning me. ![]() This goldfish is my baby and this makes me so sad. I’m pretty much at a loss at what else to do. I don’t have an extra heater, so room temperature will have to suffice for now, but it’s warm out, so my room has been staying above 70. I also added a couple moss balls and an anubias plant in there so he’d be more comfortable. I put in an extra cycled sponge filter from my betta tank. But it should be fine temporarily since this goldfish is really tiny. All I had on hand was a 3 gallon sterilite tub. I also added some extra prime.Ĭlick to expand.So, I set up a hospital tank today. I dissolved about 4 tablespoons of salt in warm water, then strained it through some panty hoes so no granules would be in it, and added about half of that solution to the tank. I’m sad and scared and I don’t know what to do.Įdit: I decided to skip giving the dinner. I’m really freaking out, because my last two goldfish I’ve had over the last year died with almost these same symptoms, and this little jellybean is so precious to me. I just did a large waterchange yesterday after I was busy and didn’t do one for two weeks, so I’m wondering if the stress lowered his immune system. I moved him to the breeder box and added praziquantel to the tank. He appears to have some ever so slight scale distention and his spine looks a little funny. His fins look ragged and frayed, he is weak and just laying around, he’s not hungry, didn’t put up a fuss when I picked him up. Today I came in to give them dinner and noticed him resting in the Java moss. He’s been eating less and hasn’t grown at all in the few months I’ve had him. Recently, I’ve notice him looking skinnier and less. the ranchu on the other hand is more sluggish, has always had some slight swim bladder issues and ate less. The red cap seems healthy as can be, super active, eats a lot, growing, etc. ![]() The tank houses two baby goldfish (the ranchu and my little red cap oranda baby) and a small school of kuhlis. Ammonia and nitrite 0, nitrates are usually super low due to plants and my super thick layer of sand substrate that I think has some denitrification going on. The tank is a 29 gallon planted tank (vals, crypts, rotala, Java ferns, Java moss, marimos, etc). So, my little jellybean (baby black ranchu) is getting really sick and I don’t know what’s wrong. ![]()
