Treatment manual for common goldfish diseases: ich, swim bladder disorder, dropsy, fin rot, and fungal infections.
Goldfish are hardy but susceptible to several common diseases when water quality deteriorates or temperatures fluctuate.
Raise temperature to 28-30C, treat with methylene blue or malachite green, add 0.5% salt. Treatment period: 1-2 weeks.
Fast for 3-5 days, stabilize temperature at 25C, salt bath 0.3-0.5%, feed shelled peas to aid digestion. Switch to sinking pellets long-term.
Early detection is critical. Treat with antibacterial medication (Green-F Gold) plus 0.5% salt bath. Increase water change frequency. Recovery is difficult once advanced.
Always use a hospital tank, follow medication dosages precisely, address root causes (water quality), and maintain optimal conditions during recovery.
Bri-Choku breeders maintain healthy stock and can advise on treatment if needed.
