Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

Goldfish world seems to be at about as good as it's going to get. Only doing water change every other day now. Fungus receding. Still salt and melafix. My ex is going to trade me a bunch of aquatic plants for some spider plants. Ordered some of the dwarf lily guys. The lights had got tripped to perm...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

Goldfish seems to be at that recovered but I'll never trust she's entirely well point. She no longer stays at the bottom, she swims around the tank now. Rests in the plants far more frequently than the other guys though. Eats but not like she used to. I increased salt awee bit again and tossed in so...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

Same old same old with goldfish. I've lightened up on my normally uhm excessive feeding. So champ bolted food at the surface and swallowed air. I saw him bobbing along uncontrollably at the surface though and had hysterics for a bit. No bloatiness though and gave him some peas and oatmeal for more f...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

I've held off on antibiotics still and put carbon back in tank. I'm at once daily water changes. She's still lethargic and at the bottom of the tank usually though she is active for food. Newest joy is she has a spot of fungus on her head. Never had this before. I'm so frustrated. Off to take a hot ...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

Still fence sitting. Same today as yesteray. The odd thing is she's lethargic but not having problems swimming, not bloated at all anymore. The worst problem is the lethargy and really rapid breathing. I'm not use to that being the main problem after dropsy. The other two are doing great. I'm going ...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

Looks like the most common injectable treatment for carpy guys is e rofloxacin. I feel like a jerk but there's no way I can afford a vet visit for her right now. Looks like it's im and pretty easy to do. I hate the idea of making her more miserable right now. Unhappy fence sitting right now. Same st...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

GF is still alive. Missing a few scales, that's scary, but they're popped out less. She's lethargic and breathing hard. Upright and not off balance. Not avoiding other GF and not being picked on by them. She eats when I feed but doesn't graze the rest of the time like they normally do. She looks bet...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

So depressing. She's swimming fine and eating for now but I've never had good luck With gf once this has happened. Even if they improve they seem to relapse off and on and until they eventually succumb. Feeling broken hearted about negligence. Not feeling like doing much with tanks other than keepin...

Re: Sorting out goldfish tank

Double posting about this. Goldfish tank came unplugged, not sure how long ago. Noticed when I saw them sluggish. Now my orange and white had dropsy and I'm guilt ridden and depressed. I added a second filter which I should have done from set up. Adding a bit more salt to water. Honestly I'd slacked...

Re: Scratch that, betta's tank first

There are so many things that can go wrong or sideways. I try to remember in the moment that they'll make good stories later. On an incredibly depressing note I've been sick and out of it and didn't notice that goldfish filter came unplugged somehow. Wth. I realized when they looked sluggish. I have...

Re: Scratch that, betta's tank first

For some extra ridiculousness. After the shelf collapsing and no damage to anything I dropped a bottle of perfume and chipped the top edge of the tank. The tank is still fine though I'm irritated I'm the one who damaged it. I'll be putting in an extra shelf the cats cash use as a launch pad. The boy...

Re: Scratch that, betta's tank first

Well that was unexpected. I've been working on painting and other household projects and with chemicals dangerous to the cats so they've been in their room. Looks like the boys used the betta shelf as a laugh pad. The whole thing dropped down to the shelf below it, where I keep my pursestuff. It dro...
