It's been nearly 5 months and I would like to give an update for those who are interested. In January, I treated one of my younger goldfish for dropsy, and it seemed like she fully recovered (she was no longer completely bloated and the pineconing had significantly gone down). However, over the...

Its been more than a week, and I am relieved to say that she has essentially fully recovered. Her symptoms are almost completely gone and her behaviour has returned to normal. She now is eating a lot more and now has solid feces. The Kanaplex worked better than I had expected and soon, I will...

Sorry for the late response. I think that you're right, and after going through one full cycle of treatments (3 doses, two days apart). I can tell that my goldfish is so much healthier and I'm planning to move her back into her original tank in a few weeks. Although some of the symptoms still...

Update: Over the past few days, after I've applied the Kanaplex, I've noticed that behaviorally she has started to improve a lot. She is no longer hiding behind rocks for most of the day and she has started to wander around the tank, only going behind the rocks to rest once every hour or so, she...

Update: Her bloating has gotten a little bit worse now, there is clear asymmetry in her abdomen. However, her eyes have sunk in and are no longer swelling at all. She is still responding well, and still hiding most of the time. She is a little reluctant to come out for food when the light is on...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I’ve done some things in the past two days. I’ve quarantined her in a separate 50 gallon tank. Cleanest water possible, weekly 50% water changes. I’ve increased the salt percentage in her water, and I’ve ordered some kanaplex. I’ve given her some decor that she can...

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 120 Gallons How long has the tank been running? 3 Years Does it have a filter? Yes Does it have a heater? No What is the water temperature? 68 F, 20 C What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and inverts.) 2 Common Goldfish...

Hello Everyone, one of my two younger common goldfish in my 120-gallon is acting incredibly strange. For the most part, water parameters are perfect (0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 20-30 Nitrate, 7.6 pH). She (Or I assume so because of her body shape) has been hiding behind the decor and sometimes...

I definitely understand that little is better, and i understand that some of the live bearers can still live with minimal food for 2+ weeks, however,I'm worried about the koi outside (since it's hot outside, they want to eat more and expend more energy) and also some of the fancy goldfish can't...

Hello all, I own multiple well cycled/well filtered tanks/ponds (60 G- Clown Pleco, Pygmy Corys, Harlequin Rasboras, Apple Snails, 75-G Mollies, Platies, Swordtails, Tetras, Bristlenose Pleco, 125 G- Ranchu, Black Moor, Oranda, Fantail, Ryukin Goldfish, Pearlscale Goldfish 125 G- Fairy Cichlids...

okay, so, the best solution seems to be just to get an aquarium stand, I'm probably going to leave it in my basement, which has concrete floors, just for extra protection.

Hello all, I've been looking to upgrade my 125 Gallon Goldfish tank to a 210 Gallon for some extra space. I've been saving up for it recently, and I don't want to spend another 6 months saving up for a stand for that tank. I was wondering if a wooden counter(it's built into my house) would...

I would say a 50% water change would be good. Ammonia and Nitrite need to be 0. This means that your tank isn't cycled, or at least not cycled well enough. Do you have prime? That could help contain water parameters and help you do a fish in cycle.

That seems like a lot of fish. I think that this is normal, I think that you should leave the fry within the breeder box. If your fish aren't very aggressive you can even put them within the actual tank.

I'm not too sure, it could be anywhere from a few days to one- two weeks. I would put her in a breeding.box to make sure that none of the fry are killed. But also you should start thinking about what you are going to do with the fry
