Hi all my 10 year old son has diagnosed our goldfish with fin rot.
Heres a pic. We are setting up another tank now to put it in.
Is it hard to treat and how long will it take?
Any tips much appreciated!
tank has been running for about a month now
ph is 7
hardness is high at 250 need to lower this...I havent bought anything yet...to do this. suggestions?
nitrite appears a s 0 ppm
nitrate is about 20 ppm
alkalinity was 120
There are 4 old fish in a 360 litre tank...
I'm just trying to get conditions right in the tank and then we will replace the goldfish with guppies...
thanks Peter
normally fin rot is from ppoor water conditions did you cycle the tank first before you put fish in if not i would change 3o percent of water everyday until nitrate comes down get from lfs a bottle of seachem stress guard this will promote healing
