selenalt1 0 Posted February 4, 2020 Hello! I have a 8 year old goldfish who was suffering from ammonia poisoning. So far I have done an 80% water change, filtered through water conditioner, and used aquarium salt. After the water change and treatment the redness on his underbelly went away but he is still laying sideways at the bottom of the tank. His tailfins look like they are disintegrating and are purple in color. I have fed him once by hand but now he will not eat at all. Is there anything else I can do? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
