Regular Member nicoleauryn Posted December 13, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hello all! Excited to be part of the forums. Engelvee referred me. Also, I have a problem. I am pretty knowledgeable with goldfish, but recently with my Holiday buzz and business, I noticed that my beautiful pearlscale was ill, and I tried to save her but it was too late Pretty sure it was a bladder infection of some sort (floating) and I also realized I had a ammonia spike. I did one 60% water change and another 35% water change in the same day. I also cleaned and replaced the carbon in my canister filter. My 2nd fish was lively and fine, and then about, a week after the pearlscale died, my (what we think is a Ryukin or a accident Ryukin/Ranchu hybrid) was floating a bit - nose to the air - and when he swims he seems to have difficulty staying underwater. He is a pure white fish with a more pinky tone rather than yellow, and today I noticed he had reddness around his mouth. It isn't streaky nor does it look like a fungus since it seems to be more under the skin. I am taking him out of the take today and putting him in a medicated tank - but if anyone knows what this is please, any info is helpful. I'd like to save him and never saw this reddness before. Thank you Nicole Auryn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
