I am getting medication Should I change the water to get the salt out before I use the treatment?!

Something happened... I went to try the salt yesterday, and the fish, well, he doesn't look like he has fungus. I think its something else. Unless its just some stage in the illness. Maybe I'm looking to closely. The film on him didn't get puffy or cottony. The film turned into something else...

Ooooh, that's pretty ugly. Thank goodness mines isn't that bad.

what's "saddleback" columnaris; from its name it sounds like what my fish has, or is it something completely different

...will do... hmm, I feel better already. quick one though: 1. Will the other fish be harmed by whatever I put in the tank? and 2. Does anyone know how I should go about cleaning , mainly the net, because there are two but I don't know which was used for the goldfish, and I don't want to...

I didn't mean to sound snappy. I would get them a much bigger tank if I could. I would get them a lot of things if I could. I'm making the same suggestions you are to them. There are no good aquarium stores where I live, but theres always Petco, I'll pick out something from there. It's closed...

I hope I do not sound too defensive but again, the fish were not under my care, I know the water changes are inadequate, I know the fish are sick because they are not being kept well, I know the nitrate is way too high. Unfortunately, I go back to college in the fall, and there's no guarantee...

Yes, I know how much space a goldfish needs. Like I said, they're not under my care right now, I just want to help. He was my fish once. Thank you for the link...

Oooookay. Lets try this again. Goldfish. 6 inches. Survived fungus four years ago. Has patch of fungus extending from lateral line on left side up over back, a little on right side of dorsal fin; fungus is thin, white, and film-like; has begun to eat away at fins. Tankmates are two rosy red...

What are glofish?

You ate a gourami?! - anjefish

So did I until I put in my black phantoms and realized theirr fins disappear in front of it. All I can see is six pale little tetrabellies zipping about unless I look real close... Works great for the filter and heater though, can't see those either :lol:

Definitely, definitely, definitely! I love to read - books, websites, articles, you name it. I spent years of growing interest in this hobby researching all I could find before I set up my first aquarium. At one point I could've told you the origins, pH and temp requirements for a hundred...

Don't like those "Idiot's Guide" or "...for Dummies" type books. Too simple-general. I like those encyclopedia-type ones, packed full of info esp. w/ details on species of plants and fish. Haha, I'm on Amazon all the time browsing and reading reviews! That atlas sounds great. I've been...

won't it just cool off again? :)
