GoggleHat 0 Posted June 15, 2017 A while back I got a new oranda which I quarantined for about a week and then added it to my 35 gallon tank with another fish. I removed the new on after it had noticeable troubles with infection, possible finrot, and swim bladder. I'm treating it in a 10 gallon with a filter and some tetracycline. But now my other goldfish, one I've had longer, has suddenly grown weak, has rotting fins, seems fairly thin, gasping at the surface, and somewhat glassy eyes. PLEASE HELP! I love this fish so much, I've had it for years! It's a 35 gallon tank. I added some tetracycline the other day, but saw how people suggest changing 20% of the water each day to remove ammonia/nitrite/nitrate. After changing 20% I tested the water. Ammonia is 0 ppm, Nitrite is also 0 ppm, and Nitrate went down from about 20 ppm to <5 ppm. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
