Abbagal Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Hi, My goldfish's anus has some thing sticking out of it and it seems to have problems going to the bathroom. Ive done the medicine trio and added aquarium salt but it's still the same. Picture attached. Ph 7.8, nitrates 20ppm, nitrites 0ppm, ammonia 0.30 ppm (changed my ammonia filter, did 30% water change, and stopped feeding for a few days), Gh 143.2 ppm, Kh 53.7ppm, temp. 74 degrees F Edited December 4, 2020 by Abbagal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plazma Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Hi Abbagal, i saw your post here. Our goldfish has the identical problem. Did you manage to identify what it was, how did you got about treating it? Were really concerned and dont know what it is despite asking where we got the fish and reading for hours on the web, then i found your post with pictures that look identical to our fishes issue.

If your fish is suffering from a prolapse epsom salt will help 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for 1 week or you can do salt bath for no more than 15 minutes 2-3.times a day.acts as a muscle relaxant.will help your fish reabsorb the prolapse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
