Mychala Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Our pond goldfish was up at the top today, acting pretty normal but it looks like his slime coat is sloughing off. I realized I topped off the pond yesterday with the hose and got distracted and forgot to dechlorinate it. I've got a 15 gal green water tank in the house I could put him in to recover or leave him out? Pond temp is about 50 degrees. He has some debris sticking to his slime coat. What's the best way to go here? Bring him in or keep him out and watch....any suggestions Edited December 7, 2020 by Mychala Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I would take him inside, and you API Stress coat along with your water conditioner and use some aquarium salt (1 tablespoon every 5 gallons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mychala Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 @James Black thanks! Thats what I was thinking would be best but I wanted to check, this is the first time hes been overwintered outside. I'll just give him plenty of time to acclimate to the temperature change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
