Guest henryay Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Is it a good idea to feed newly bought goldfishes with medicated fish food? The last times my fishes died, it seemed like it was internal infection. I know this by red streakin on the bottom of the bottom and white long poop.

Regular Member LaurieP Posted October 8, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi there. Before I answer are these fish new to you? Are you going to get new fish and add them to your set up? I ask because if you already have the new fish and they are all together then you can use that tank as the quaranteen tank. Experts recommend a quaranteen for 2-4 weeks. At this time the tanks are usually salted to 0.3% and the fish are watched for anything not normal. Antibotics are ususally not recommended for if you give them and they are not needed you can create a resist bacteria if your fish ever do get sick...........just like human medicine. If you are going to add a new fish then I would keep that fish seperated in a q-tank for the appropriate time, after which if no problems are seen can be transfered to the main tank. I hope I have answered your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
