the other Irene Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know what these patches are on my goldfish. He is eating well and acting normal. I 1st thought it was an abrasion, but I just noticed another patch near his tail fin. temp=76 nitrate 25 nitrite 0 gh 300 kh 40 ph 6.8 chlorine 0 Thanks oh, and the other fish are fine. I only have fancy gold fish, reticulated hillstream loaches and snails in this tank. Edited March 19, 2022 by the other Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 It either bacterial or viral what I would do is aid an extra air stone and treat with kanaplex in food and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 the salt will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanF Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 @the other Irene It looks like a bacterial infection. Sometimes it is hard to tell by a picture, but if it looks "fuzzy" that could mean it is a fungus / fungal infection. You have snails and loaches, so you have to be careful with salt and medicines and find something that is compatible with all your tankmates.
