CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What should I do if red spots appear on my goldfish?

1. What should I do if red spots appear on my goldfish?

1. Check for parasites, and remove them if found. At the same time, rub the affected area with red mercury, then rinse it in a small basin and return it to the original pool (tank) to rest, once a day, until it is healed.

2. Soak the sick fish in 10-20 mg/L of furacillin or sulfamethoxazole solution or 2%-3% salt water for 10-15 minutes, then wash it into the pond (tank) once every other day.

3. For severe cases, add 1 million units of kanamycin or 80,000 to 160,000 units of gentamicin to 10 kg of water, and keep the fish in the water for 2-3 hours. After half a day, change to new water for feeding. Do this once a day, and it will usually heal after 2-3 times.

2. My goldfish has red blood streaks on its tail. What is the disease? Is there any way to cure it?

Here’s the picture!

There are many reasons for tail congestion, including bacterial infection, collision during long-distance transportation, and overcrowding.

If there are no other symptoms, you can consider the safe side: use new water and yellow powder for treatment after isolation, and use it for three consecutive days. Never use old water and yellow powder.

3. My goldfish's bodies have turned red and have blood streaks. Two of them are lying at the bottom of the tank and are not active at all. The others are quite active. What should I do?

First, isolate the sick goldfish to prevent it from infecting other fish. The fish tank should also be disinfected again. Your goldfish should have white spot disease, which is also called Ichthyophthirius acutiloba disease. The pathogen is a ciliate called Ichthyophthirius acutiloba. Its body is spherical or oval, with short and evenly distributed ciliates on the surface. There is a large horseshoe-shaped nucleus in the center of the body. The vesicles on the diseased fish are caused by the dense parasitism of these Ichthyophthirius acutiloba. This is a common and frequently occurring disease of goldfish and tropical fish. In the later stage of the disease, the surface of the fish will be covered with a layer of white film, the mucus on the body surface will increase, the body color will be dull, the luster will decrease, the fish will become thin, swim slowly, and be listless. Sometimes it floats on the water surface, and sometimes it gathers in one corner of the fish tank. It rarely moves and eventually dies in large numbers. [Treatment method] The sick fish can be immersed in a solution containing 1 tablet of 50 mg of furazolidone per kilogram of water for 1 week; or immersed in a solution of 1 to 3 parts of mercurous acetate for 30 minutes, or the temperature can be slightly increased. . *****Didn't you read the featured post on this page?

4. The goldfish is sick and seems to have blood stasis

It's okay, just remember not to hurt them when changing the water, you can add salt or not, it will be fine in a few days. My goldfish also had a similar thing happen, it was fine in about a week.
