Regular Member Kagome100 Posted September 2, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ok well i did have a post about a golden alge eatter well I took him out because he was after my red cap. But I guess I waited to late. She is sick and hurt now. She has lots of scals missing on her sides, she is losing weight, she has a stringy looking tail now. The other goldfish is fine, the other is fat, good looking, healthy. I took the red cap out and put her in her own tank for now. I need to know what should i put in the tank right now? Salt or anti fungus care? She eats some but last night she looked like she did not care to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member littleone78 Posted September 2, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2005 Personally, I would try salt first. But, I'd wait to see what another more experienced person has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chishower Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I think she should heal up fine if you salt her container to .3% and keep the water perfect - zeros across the board. to salt to .3 - take one teaspoon of aquarium/rock/canning salt per gallon and pre-dissolve in tank water. Add, and repeat in 12 hours, and then another 12 hours. That will get you up to .3%. Then you just replace what you take out with water changes. I would offer her a few peas before going back to feeding her regular food, as well. Good luck with your fishy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
