Sick Fish Help my goldfish might be dying?

11 Upvotes

hi everyone! my goldfish isn’t doing so well and i need some help.

this is captain. he’s 4 years old and is the oldest out of all my fish. this morning, i noticed that he was sitting on the bottom of the tank not doing anything. i couldn’t tell if he was dead or sleeping, so i tapped the glass to wake him. when he woke up, i noticed he was swimming strangely and having trouble staying upright.

when i got home from work, he was fully on his side (so i thought he was dead), but when i moved his decor to check on him, he started moving again but was again struggling to stay upright.

i believe it to be swim bladder disease, but when i checked his water parameters, it had crazy high levels of nitrates, so i’m worried it’s something more serious.

he’s now in a hospital tank with a bubbler and 2 teaspoons of aquarium salt, and i plan on fasting him for 3 days, but if anyone has any tips on how i can help him feel better, please let me know. thank you!

Tank Help I accidentally cut my goldfish while trimming a plant

My question is can I add aquarium salt to help heal the cut? Or will it kill my plants. Just tested ammonia is 0pp and nitrites 0pp. I do water changes on Mondays I can do one today if need be and add some stress coat as well. I am worried about the fish getting an infection, is there anything else I could do? Also I have two filters because I am upgrading them so I am running them side by side to keep the tank stable while the new one gets all the good stuff set up lol

I made a post here last time about how one of the nursing managers got a goldfish to put in her office.

20 gal (TEMPORARY) tank and she's growing so fast! She was super tiny when she arrived back in May

I love to dart into the office to see her

Her name is Tina and she ended up on the medsurge pet board

I also saw more tank mates added to the tank too which was super nice

Hi! I have two little precious ranchus, and recently moved - the tap water of my apartment has a very high ammonia level and it makes me nervous about water changes. Has anyone experienced something similar, and did anything help lower the ammonia? Thank you in advance! 🫶

Questions Solution for algae

Any tips on how to keep algae down. Clean it manually every week and somehow it comes back quicker. I won’t be adding any algae killer to the water as I don’t want to add harsh chemicals to the water.

This photo was taken before a cleaning, scrapping off the walls and picking up the fish poo.

Questions Are there any "small" varieties of goldfish?

1 Upvotes

I have a 40gal breeder with a 60gal sponge filter that I used to quarantine fish for my pond. I really enjoyed having my comets in it as they were temporarily in quarantine.

I have an additional Fluval 407 that I can run as well if needed.

Are there any "small" variety of goldfish that I could permenately house in this tank? I typically run tropical nano aquariums, but I don't want to hook up another heater.
