Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Torez, is your goldie a Cherry Barb female? Can you upload a pic?

If we can tell or discard what seems to be ick, you could take proper measures. Search for ick pictures on the web and see if that is what your fish has.

IMO it sounds like the start of fin rot..If the tips of the fins are turning white all along the edges I would think that's what it would be. You'll know because ICH is white dots..Looks like salt has been sprinkled on them. Also what are your water levels...ammonia, nitrite and nitrate..That info will help also. Sorry your fish is not well.

I'm sorry your goldie isn't feeling well.

I would agree with changing the water but first test it and post the parameters.
What size tank is he in? Any tank mates?
