    I'm not sure what it is he said it would sooth the fish from what they are ailing. It's neon yellow/green. Couple of drops with water mixed. I did a water change then put this stuff in as directed. This is getting so much more complicated than the fish we kept at school!!

    Hi again, This all started with a fish bowl, and now to a 17 Ltr tank that has a light, bubbles and a filter. The fish were wee babies when I got them, they are about 2 inches long each. I have done a water change as advised in a comment above. I went back to the shop today and he gave me a fluro colour mix to add to the water, he said it would help them. I realize the tank is small, I was told smaller tanks can be harder to balance. But I am not ready to spend the big bucks yet. Thankyou for your help. I would put up a photo, but I can't see the option here. A friend is going to test my water tomorrow

    sick fish :(

    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! !
