Goldfish infection

I have a goldfish that was was bread in my pond and moved to my 35 gallon goldfish tank to watch grow. There are 3 other gold fish around the same size as her in there. They will be moved to my pond once they outgrow the tank. This morning I noticed a new fungus like growth on its mouth and can’t seem to find anything like it. I went to freshwater specialist shop and they said it was some sort of bacterial infection. They recommended put it in a qt tank with a sponge filter, salt and melafix. It is currently in there. How often should I change the water? I am thinking every day do 50%. And then would I just have to add back half the amount of salt and melefix I added? All help is appreciate.

 

sounds like you already have the melafix so just keep using it, but for future reference it is just a mild herbal remedy and not very useful.

what are the water parameters? ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, etc

yes, 50% daily water changes will be good. and add back the salt and melafix.

 

A little update on the goldfish: the lip is almost healed and I think it will be within 2-3 days. do you want the parameters of the qt tank or display tank?

 

that's good to hear.

the display tank please

 

the ammonia was zero, nitrite zero and nitrates were 100ppm. Because of the high nitrates should I move the fish to my pond ASAP? The goldfish’s lip all so has not gotten better yet. If the melafix and salt are not working should I move it to my pond which has perfect water qualit?

 

do a water change and keep treating.
