![]() She has lost a few (about 3) scales that never regrew and from the tip of her nose to her tail she is smooth (no scales). All four survived and thrived, Thank God:) I feed them sinking pellets, peas, lettuce brine shrimp, krill and worms.Īnyways, Nemo over time went from looking like Nemo to a peachy white. I was doing sometimes daily water changes until my aquarium cycled. At least the directions said to rinse the aquarium, rocks and add conditioner before adding fish. The salesman working didn’t warn me about cycling the aquarium or anything. I ended up going back to Walmart for water conditioner the same day. My one fish Nemo I brought home from Walmart as a little guy about 2 ish years ago with 3 other goldfish with a 10 gallon tank and setup all in the same day. I change the water every 7 to 10 days about 60ish percent change and rinse the filters in aquarium water. I am running two up to 60 filters (without charcoal) they are hang off the back style.

Saprolegnia comes about when goldfish are poorly handled, chilled or stressed. This fungus thrives in waters that are warm, have high nitrate level and organic loads. ![]() Branchiomyces is a fungus that attacks the gills and can be treated by lowering the water temperature and treating with Formalin. A healthy goldfish slime coat is also important.Common fungus infections include Branchiomyces and Saprolegnia. In cases where a fungus is caught early, it might be enough to just change the water and provide the goldfish with better nutrition. Water changes and aquarium salt are often included in a treatment of a funagal infection as well as a bacterial disease so this treatment is a good start if you don’t a microscope on hand to properly diagnose the problem. However, making a fungus infection diagnosis isn’t always easy with the naked eye since the visual signs look similar to some bacterial (columnaris) and parasite (Epistylis) illnesses. Most fungus infections look like white fuzzy hairs or cotton balls that appear on the skin, fins, mouth, gills or eyes of the goldfish. Fungal infections usually occur when a goldfish has open wounds, scraps or cuts that don’t heal quickly or those fish that have a weakened immune system due to poor living conditions and high stress.
