I am assuming he has tail/fin rot and I will treat him with the salt as prescribed. Thanks for this site, it has been quite helpful. If any one out there knows of another reason why my goldfish has red streaks on his tail fins, please let me know. My four year old very large gold fish has red streaks on his tail fins.

He has been extremely healthy all this time. I am very careful about water quality and feeding. Even so, he has presented with red streaks on his tail fins. I am assuming that I am seeing tail and fin rot, although the no other fins appear to be infected. I will attempt the salt treatment, using the large tank he is in. There are no other fish in his tank. If anyone out there knows of any other reason why my old man fish has red streaks on his tail fins, please let me know.

We're leaving the country for 2 mos on Nov 19th. On day 5 of maracyn for fin and tail rot--no change. Water: ammonia:0, nitrite0, nitrate0, & ph 6.6--maybe result of maracyn--typical is 6.8-7.0--55 gal freshwater tank, 15 community fish. 2 clown loche, 2 small gray angel fish with beautiful sheer tails, 1 red tail shark, 2 golden guppies, 3 red tail sword, 1 plecostymus, 3 tiny sucker fish. Clown loche and angel fish are only ones infected. 1 redtail sword had popeye but it cleared up. My mistake: Did not change carbon until day 3 of treatment. Also have an eheim 2213. Recently changed filter pads . Also have a nitro sorb pouch in cannister. Just put in recommended salt quantity and raised water temp. What can I possibly do to completely clear this up before leaving. I don't know of anyone in this area to be able to do a water change or step in on my behalf. Our house pet sitter know nothing other than feeding and can put in or remove carbon. Thank you for your response and timely response Lisbeth Urgency. We’re leaving the country for 2 mos on Nov 19th.
