Colu Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I would treat with maracyn or kanaplex they can get secondary bacterial infection when they have septicemia you want to keep stress to a minimum I would put plants back in your tank as they will help you keep stable water parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Do you mine showing a photo? Nitrites seem very high and that can also cause the redness. Are you able to do a large water change? I would use aquarium salt and erythromycin if you are sure its the bacteria but It also could be nitrites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
