Hello All,
I am a Newbie to the page and in need of some help.
About 6 month ago, my wee grandson and I got 3 goldfish and a 17 Ltr tank. We hand been going on ok, until one of the fish got a bit of white fluffy stuff on its tail. Went to fish shop for advice was given salt and and a little bottle of Malachite Green. I mixed it to the instructions, but didn't really notice a big difference, so I went back to the shop and explained my problem and was told my tank is too clean, and need to feed them more, given a bag of the same mix already to tip into the tank. We are a couple of weeks down the track, and now one of my fish looks like it's bleeding. I get my water from the shop that has been put through a big filtering system. I feel sorry for these dam fish, but I don't know what to do. I suck the stones with the siphon thing every 2 days, about 1ltr out and one in to replace it and do a overall clean once a month.
If anyone could help or has experienced this, I would love your input. My grandson just loves the fish, so would be great to get past this lack of knowledge! !
