hello well my problem was and still is that my tanks ammonia and nitrates/nitrites(still new sorry >.<) were to high and started turning my two goldfish(now one, one died
) well heres really what ive done from the day he started exhibiting these symptoms whcih was :
first day- put in medication and turned off filter and did a 25% water change AFTER medication was in and goldfish 1 has black scales(scabs) on tail and top of head
second day- nothing second goldfish died first one still alive but still ahs black scales(scabs) on tail and top of head
third day(today)- put in second dose of medicine as said on box ichs has seemed to not be visible anymore(i think hes healing) but the black scales are spreading
i just need to know what i should do i mean i feel like hes jsut suffering in there i cant turn on the filter or do a water change till 2 more days
is he gonna have to bare it?
also i am planning on getting a 35 gal very soon with everything..im wanting a schooling tank (neons and mollies) and will be returning the ten gallon, i have an aunt who is holding a few fish that i had evacuated from the tank should i jsut let my aunt have the goldfish? she is an expert fishkeeper or should i let him be with the schoolers(ive seen alot of tanks with goldies and neons without eating them)
specs: 10 gal 1 week old with a heater and filter the tank stays at around 79 degrees goldfish seems to not mind >.>
