Also with the filter it's still fairly new but I cleaned it about a month or two ago. Prior to that I believe I waited a few months because I needed to let it settle in. I usually fill a bucket with tank water and clean everything with that.

Thanks a bunch for informing me. Glad to hear that it's something that can be fixed. I'll make sure to note everything you mentioned a side from the salt treatment since I've already started with melafix before posting on this forum. For food I usually feed him a mix of repashy and pellets but...

Thanks a bunch for willing to do something though. If I can't find someone I'll be sure to do all that I can to help him heal

This seems like great advice! I'll be sure to keep everything you say in mind, I did actually start treating him with API so I think I will continue to treat him in the 20 gal and do lots of water changes. If I haven't found anyone to take him in I'll definitely get one of those storage...

I'm not sure how to find them. I tried googling but couldn't find much so I decided to hop on here to see if anyone could take him in. I'll double check and do more to find a place, thanks a bunch for the timely response!

Thank you for the kind reply, I'll try to get in contact with her to see if she can find anyone. Yes please! Any advice is more than welcome just in case I can't get anyone to take him in.

Also I'm currently treating him for fin rot with API with melafix. Started today

Please don't shame me, I really have tried my best to care for this fish but everything has been going wrong and I really need someone to save what I've done to my poor Ester ? Last year I cycled a tank and bought a fancy ryukin goldfish and everything has been going down hill. First the filter...

I'll be sure not to touch anything this time! Thanks a bunch

Thank a lot for the recommendations, I just got the fluval 207 today! Hopefully that will do the trick. I dumped all my old media in it so I'll be sure not to touch/wash anything within a month or two

Also I had ceramic media and a sponge in the HOB.

Hey! Thanks for the response. I never did clean the HOB except to change out the polyfil when it got really nasty. I did clean the tubing out once because it was really nasty but I only touched the tubing. I made sure not to clean it out with tap water and tank water only.

Thanks for the response! I was actually looking into canister filters today! It was just a thought that had crossed my mind but I wouldn't mind giving that a go. My tank is a 20 gallon, do you think if I got a canister filter for a 50 gallon that that would do the trick??

Oooh, okay. I shall also try to fetch some of those! Thanks a bunch
