Hey all I need some helping on treating my 4" Ryukin, Pabloa.
Here are the stats.
55gal - with 3 goldies (including her)
temp - 70-71 degrees (f)
water parameters were normal.
eats hikari lionhead, hikari goldfish, veggie flakes, algae wafers, other veggies.
Went away on vacation for the weekend and come back to find he looking...well weird. Looks almost like she has a light grey mold looking discoloration on her fins and I can see the tiny red veins on the white parts. I thought maybe the water had deteriorated while I was away but, all the parameters were normal. No high nitrate or ammonia and the pH was normal. The other two fish appear completely normal.
Only thing I did notice is my male fish is in breeding form, he has tubercles and has been harassing her. Maybe the cause of stress.
I have quarantined her in a 10 gallon with a filter (no media). I was planning on treating her with Jungle - anti-bacterial medicated food and a bit of salt.
If you guys know of something better, think I'm diagnosing her wrong let me know!!
I love this fish, I've had her over a year and she's very strong, never been ill. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
