HH Morant Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Not only is the gill on the left side red (or redder than the right), his eye on the left is black, very different from the right eye. I have no experience with goldfish, but I would guess that it is some type of infection and try another round of Maracyn by the directions on the package. Maracyn box says it treats "swollen, discolored gills, gasping for air and decreased activity." The quarantine trio is a precaution to be used where there is no sign of disease. When there are symptoms like this you have to diagnose and treat by the book. I hope someone with goldfish experience can help with the diagnosis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laritheloud Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I agree with @HH Morant. Those gills look inflamed, and it might be a bacterial infection. Try a full course of antibiotics. I'm not sure which one would be best for this illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) It could be a bacterial infection with the red gills I would do another course of maracyn goldfish with one black and normal eye is common it nothing to worry about Edited June 5, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus297759 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Well I only have the one bacterial treatment so will try that. It’s like pack everyday so a lot stronger treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
