Hey! One of my goldfish problem with its eye, and after trying a bunch of stuff, I was advised to just let it be as long as the fish is still eating and looks healthy. My fish can't see me, but he still swims around and eats. He's been having this cloudy eye for 3 years now.

I have been treating with kanamycin for 2 weeks, but it seems to havent been getting any better. I am also having trouble keeping the water clear with just an air stone. He is in a 10 gal Q tank. I've been doing water changes every 2 days and adding a new dose of Kanamycin. What do you think of those pictures?

Hi everyone! I have a 55 gallon tank with two adult goldfish. I want to try adding more fish without overstocking. someone suggested 2 guppies, 2 Dalmatian lyretail mollies, and a pleco. What do y’all think?

I can't find Kanamycin anywhere unless I order it online. I have API Fungus Cure and Maracyn 2. Would I be able to use one of those instead?

I have been away for a while thanks to healthy goldies I will try that and update you on the progress in 2 weeks, thank you Arctic Mama! What could be causes of a tumor? I've had 2 other fish with tumors as well, seems like an unfortunate common theme in my tank....

Test Results for the Following: * Ammonia Level(Tank) 0 * Nitrite Level(Tank)0 * Nitrate level(Tank)20 * Ph Level, Tank (If possible, KH, GH and chloramines) ? Other Required Info: * Brand of test-kit used and whether strips or drops? API test kit, but they expired 2 years ago * Tank size (how many gals.) and how long has it been running? 55 gal, 6 years * What is the name and "size of the filter"(s)? 1: marineland emperor 400 2: AquaClear 70 * How often do you change the water and how much? Once a week, ~60% * How many days ago was the last water change and how much did you change? Two days, 60% * How many fish in the tank and their size? 2, both are a litter bigger than a foot * What kind of water additives or conditioners? Prime * What do you feed your fish and how often? Flakes, once a day * Any new fish added to the tank?no * Any medications added to the tank? No * List entire medication/treatment history for fish and tank.Please include salt, Prazi, PP, etc and the approximate time and duration of treatment. Nothing in the main tank as of the last 4 years or so, but I have quarantined this fish 2 years ago when he first started showing signs of a cloudy eye. I treated him with only 2 days of prazi and salt and maracyn, until someone on here told me to just let it be and its not bothering the fish and its not contagious unless it pops. It hasnt popped and I put him back in the main tank, but now I noticed his eye looks like it is enlarged and I see some red again around the gills and a bit on the frontal part of the head. * Any unusual findings on the fish such as "grains of salt," bloody streaks, frayed fins or fungus? Red gills and a little but on its head, one eye looks like a bubble and the other is and cloudy * Any unusual behavior like staying at the bottom, not eating, etc.? Eats and swims well

My initial guess would be ick?

Thank you for your inputs! I was going to ask, how would you prevent toxic gas pockets from happening and releasing into the tank? Using a cup of sand is a good idea. Also, if you were to decide to take out the sand of the aquarium.... how would you go around that? I'm sure that would be a pain

Hi all! I currently have a bare bottom because it's the easiest to clean. I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 large goldfish. I used to use marble as substrate (about half an inch thick) but it would trap so much waste and make siphoning take so much longer. I'm afraid if I get actual gravel, my fish would suck it up since they like to scavenge among the gravel. What type of gravel do you recommend for larger goldfish? Thank you!

I suggest you get your water tested at your local fish store and report back the numbers (don't just let them tell you that it's good- ask for numbers); most issues are related to water parameter. Do you know if your tank is cycled?

My filters are old and the suction is bad and someone suggested I invest in an Aquaclear filter. I have a 55 gal tank and currently 2 filters for 5 years, Aqueon QuietFlow 55/75 and Marineland Bio-Wheel Emperor Power Filter, Size 400. I'm thinking of getting rid of the Aqueon and getting Aquaclear. What are your opinions on Aquaclears, or is there a better filter I can get and how long have you had your aquaclears or other filters? Most importantly, how is the suction??? Also, should I get the Aquaclear 70 or 50 (since I already have another filter). There's a $10 difference. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000260FUW/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

Hmm, do you suggest I invest in an Aquaclear filter or undergravel filtration with my current filters?

I read that it is a popular treatment for ulcers, minor wounds, fin rot, etc. Just a dab of h2o2 should do the trick. Has anyone tried it or knows if it's safe to use?

I don’t have a grey switch. Here are some pictures , I can’t figure out what to do about the suction it’s bad! Here is my tank with my filters and kids! I this white thing took a while to be sucked in. here’s the other marine land filter idk if the suction reaches all the way to the bottom. this is my bubble wand in the middle!
