The following day (yesterday) and today she is bottom sitting/sleeping a lot throughout the day but in really short bursts. I increased it and she became very active and was normal for about a day.
AQUADINE GOLDFISH FULL
(Please give a clear explanation of what is going on, include details from the beginning of the illness leading up to now) A week ago she was acting up a bit, she was not swimming straight and was not moving too much she was also twitching but it was not flukes she did not show full symptoms of it, I fed her peas and she slightly improved I also gave her medicine to treat parasites just incase it was internal, I added rock salt and I was advised by the pet store workers to increase the temperature to 28, the previous temperature I set for her was 24. How has its behavior and appearance changed, if at all? No she seems to have a healthy/normal appearance.Įxplain your emergency situation in detail.
Was your fish physically ill or injured upon purchase? No Have you started any treatment for the illness? No In a few words, can you explain the symptoms? She's bottom sitting/sleeping a lot in the day. How long ago did you first notice these symptoms? Yesterday morning How long have you had this fish? 1 month and 3 weeks What brand of food do you feed your fish? Vitakraft premium gold flake-mixĭo you feed frozen or freeze-dried foods? Yes sometimes I feed her frozen peas (only when she was constipated) but now I plan on feeding her frozen peas once a week. How much do you feed your fish? a pinch, not too much, not too little How often do you feed your fish? Once a day What are your parameters? We need to know the exact numbers, not just “fine” or “safe”. What do you use to test the water? I have not yet found a testing kit for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate or PH in my local pet store. All are branded aquadene.ĭo you vacuum the substrate or just the water? Waterĭid you cycle your tank before adding fish? No I also sometimes add a cloudiness remover solution which also prevents algae. What do you use to treat your water? I use a few solutions, #1: dechlorinator, #2: a solution for nitrifying bacteria which I add every 5-7 days. How much of the water do you change? about 10-15% (2-4 liters every weekend) How often do you change the water? I do a water change every weekend What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and inverts.) One goldfish How long has the tank been running? This tank has been running for 2 months now What is the water volume of the tank? The tank is 5 gallons Also I do not know what to do with temperature because if its too low (24 C) she starts twitching (it's not flukes) and if its to high like 27 im guessing its making her sleepy? Is there also any other way I could improve the way I take care of her if i'm making any mistakes? Can someone please help me out, thank you. Also I feed her once a day (at night) a small pinch of fish flakes and sometimes mixed with peas, I mix the food in aquarium water so that it sinks and she doesn't gulp any air. I also started adding rock salt to her tank to reduce her stress but i'm not sure what the problem is. But she's been sleeping a lot in the morning but is super active later on in the day. A few days ago she was acting really slow hardly moving and she seemed to have swim bladder disease so I did not feed her for a day and continued feeding her peas for about 3 days, later on I found out it was due to the temperature which used to be at 24 but was far too cold for her so I increased it to 27 and she was back to normal and super active for the next 2 days but today and yesterday I have noticed she has been sleeping a lot in short bursts but whenever she sees me she becomes super active and seems to be normal, I did a 10 percent water change yesterday. Hello I purchased a small goldfish about 2 months ago she is in a 5 gallon tank and has a filter and a heater set at 27 C.
