The low dosage on the package may be for smaller goldfish? Does the medicine hurt the fishes' eyes? I'm just wondering because I was thinking their eyes are sensitive like ours.🤔 Also, you being able to pronounce all of these medications is very impressive!
Hopefully treatment is a success!thanks for sharing I have koi fish and they have to be treated for parasites more then I would like to deal with but I'm starting to realize it's part of the game.
The dosage most web site is 0.5g of 10% in 20G (75L), so the active ingredient is 0.5x100mg/75L=0.66mg/L, But Cloverleaf 5% Flu only recommended 1g in 450L which is 1 x 50mg/450L =0.11mg/L which is really low dosage. I have use this product to treat my discus for hexamita, have follow the dosage which is 0.11mg/L and does not work. Hence, I will follow you to increase dosage but only to 0.3mg/L which is already 3 times recommended dosage.
I have small common goldfish that won’t eat the peas. I removed the skin and cooked the peas, even chopped it into smaller pieces. What to do in this case? 🙁🐟 Any advice is appreciated 🙏🏻
My 2 fancy goldfish are showing signs of a parasite but I'm not sure what kind. I was told to use either aquarium salt or meythene blue and that would kill the parasite
Hi luke i have 1pair oranda goldfish male oranda always at top i dont know what reason i change water 2days once i had filtration everything but i dont know why he behave like this
I’m not really familiar with that culture (not looking down of them, I just don’t know much about it) but that’s what I thought of immediately when he got the scale and those plastic baggies lol. The slime I order comes with borax (white powdery substance) in little baggies just like those, but my mom never questions it because she knows I’m too socially awkward to get drugs 😂
I wondered if any treatments put in the tank could cause blindness. My Frankie long finned goldfish acted blind before he passed away. I used Melafix in his water in a hospital tank. That was what was recommended by the pet store I use. He had the white stringy poop and swollen belly. He was super tame and I would hand feed him. Towards the end of his prescious life he acted as if he was blind. I was devastated to find him dead after this one time treatment 3 days after the treatment. I now see that in my main tank more stringy poop so I'm using General Cure. It's only a 10 gal tank. I can't afford bigger tanks or I definitely would! I think that for each pet I should have the money to care for them properly. There's no overcrowding. All tiny fish. But I have purchased another 10 gal just for goldfish. They require a lot more cleaning. I am disabled and can only have smaller tanks. You can imagine that my fish are spoiled rotten! I even rearrange their fake trees and stuff because the goldfish like remodeling. My questions are could the Malifix killed my Frankie? And could it have made him blind before death? Or is that just something that occurs during the process of dieing? He was approximately 6 inches with his beautiful tail. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Keeping a goldfish in a 10 gallon tank is unfortunately what likely killed him... Fancy goldfish need a minimum 20 gallons per fish and any single tailed or commet goldfish need like 40 per fish. Otherwise the water quality will be toxic within a day and their growth will be stunted causing internal problems. One thing that people can do is buy a large Rubbermaid type container that has a lot more gallons. Also using a filter rated for at least double the gallons in the tub and testing the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate regularly to keep the water safe
Understand that he is treating a KNOWN issue. He saw flukes when examining the fishes gills under a microscope. It isn't recommended to dose random meds in your tank.
I don't know it's a parasite or disease or anything but all of the sudden all of my goldfish have these red wound spots all over their body I gave them methylene blue and salt idk if that will help but I hope so
