Hi all,
I have a small garden pond with 8 assorted size goldfish in it. The ammonia levels have been a bit high so I put some ammo lock in, this seemed to do real good.
Did about a 50% water change today and scrapped alot of gunge out of the bottom of the pond (I assume this is a good thing to do?)
Checked out the goldfish and one of the little ones looked very ill. Put hinm in a bucket on his own and he is just floating near the bottom, at about 45 degrees face down. he is fluttering his fins a bit but not much.
On his right side towards the tail is a big white chunk about 1/2 an inch round, it seems to be scales missing, or an infection or something.
I don't think he has been attacked, but may well be diseased?
Any ideas what the problem might be or more importantly how I should look after him?
To be honest I think he's a goner, he don't look too good.
ALL the other 7 fish seem lively and quite happy.
Thanks
Andy Watkins
