After these few days, I have poured 2 out of 4 servings of the yellowish stuff i mentioned earlier in my post. The result is that the injured ranchu has recovered in terms of the reddish blood on it's body. However, one side of it's body (the rear) still has this scales jutting out a little (like 45 degree spikes).
I am still separating the 'bandaraya' from the pond! |

QUOTE(hanissyazwan @ Aug 29 2007, 04:08 AM) What do you use for keeping a goldfish, fishbowl or small tank, with or without filter, a good quality of water will keep the goldfish healthy most of the time plus weekly water changes. Must know how to choose a healthy goldfish in the shop before you buy. Goldfish have a very long lifespan if you can maintain a good quality water.Added on August 29, 2007, 11:50 am QUOTE(rubicube @ Aug 29 2007, 11:37 AM) After these few days, I have poured 2 out of 4 servings of the yellowish stuff i mentioned earlier in my post.

Is your goldfish swim around or eat food? better be careful with this 'bandaraya' bacause some 'bandaraya' got 3 spike on the body and sometime will injured your goldfish.I am still separating the 'bandaraya' from the pond!

Than this should be a good sign of recovery but make sure the fish is totally recover than putting it back to the main tank. So what are you going to do with 'bandaraya' this fish will later injure other fish again.Luckily i removed the 'bandaraya' earlier. |

The smaller one just continue to add injury. I think after the fish is cured 100%, i'll put the small 'bandaraya' back in. (er, Is there a name for the 'bandaraya'?) |

So are you going to keep a goldfish again? Actually to keep a goldfish you must know a few thing, goldfish love to stay in clean water,big fish tank because they grown very fast but don't over crowded the tank, need a lot of O2 and time. Every week you will need time to change some water from the tank and try to look for disease on goldfish body. Because you just tell me your goldfish die only, there should be some other thing that make your goldfish die, you not mention it here, so i can't help you very much.If you need some advice or help to setup a goldfish tank, just tell me i will try to help you.

My goldfish i mentioned earlier died 2 days ago. To my suprise, it looks as though it has recovered. it was swimming ok and eating ok.
It just stayed motionless 2 days ago, and confirmed dead looking at the gills which were not moving at all. I guess the scales were not cured and thus had infection. However, in my earlier postings, the redness dissapeared and i thought it was recovering! In my 9 months, 2 goldfish died! Now left 7. This post has been edited by rubicube: Sep 6 2007, 11:09 AM |

That's the problem we facing everytime went ours goldfish get injured, we don't know what going to happened next, sometime it was so sad to lost even one of the goldfish.It just stayed motionless 2 days ago, and confirmed dead looking at the gills which were not moving at all. I guess the scales were not cured and thus had infection. However, in my earlier postings, the redness dissapeared and i thought it was recovering! In my 9 months, 2 goldfish died! Now left 7. Last month one of my oranda died without knowing what the problem, it was sudden death, can see the goldfish slowly motionless and the gills stop pumping. That why now in my tank i don't put sand or stone because if you put all this thing inside the tank all the dirt,unfinished food everything get stuck inside there so the next thing i will get water quality problem, So to make it easy for maintenance i keep away all those sand and stone thing. Not so bad 9 months, 2 goldfish died, when my goldfish died it was my 2nd month hopefully no more goldfish will died. |

QUOTE(hanissyazwan @ Aug 29 2007, 04:08 AM) actually goldfish has long life span. the thing is a lot of people don't know that for single goldfish, the optimum tank size is a 2ft tank. yes, 2ft tank for a single goldfish alone.

Just change 20 to 25% of water weekly, not all the water. What type of filter you use? because goldfish are good eater so you need a good filter to clean the water. I use a 4 feet tank with a trickle filter and keep 6 goldfish, so far no problem. Just change water weekly. |
