ok, so..my mom is a huge fan of goldfish, and had 4 orandas, all at about 5 inches, she had them for almost over a year
she had them in a 45g high, untill i had a spare 55gal..so i cycled it for about a month and a half, after about a month of then being in their new home, she decided to get one more
so she got another oranda, a red capped that seemed fine and playful with the others
HOWEVER
about 4 days later i niticed, what i thought was ich, a few white spots on the tails, so i treated the water with ich meds and salt..but it had no effect..the next morning they where covered in white spots, some where even merged together, the next day, their tails where frayed and stringy, and started to rot away, used melafix for fin rot but again, no effect
their fins then became reddish with red vessels visable.
i started to think velvet after seeing them covered in the white spots, but velvet meds didnt work
and im sure its not just a bad case of ich, the spots look nothing like ich, and i've dealt with ich a lot over the 12 years i have been keeoing fish
SO, over 2 days they all died, all pretty much at the same time
i have a picture of the last one that died a day before he passed, his tail wasnt so badly frayed, but it was starting to rot..but it needs to be uploaded and coverted
again, i have never seen anything like this
anyone have any ideas?
