I've tried putting the blackmoor goldfish in another tank and treating it with Tetras Goldfish Goldmed but it didn't seem to help.Īny advice would help. This group includes similar Goldfish varieties as listed below Black Moor Goldfish Bubble Eye Goldfish Celestial. And in many cases, the most suitable companions are equally handicapped fish that are either slow-moving in captivity or with poor vision.
I've got a separator in because the blackmoor goldfish gets chased by the other fish just to rule out exhaustion. Generally, Telescope Goldfish can thrive in a community aquarium with the right tank mates. I change about 20 litre of water frequently (2 or 3 times a week) and do a larger water change (maybe 50%) every couple of weeks, so I feel like I'm on top of water changes. I have another goldfish in the same tank and he is doing fine, very active and happy. He also has lumps on the top of his head that appear to be getting larger slowly over time. He has always had spots on the leading edge of his fins but I'm wondering if this is an infection rather than breeding tubercles. Sometimes he will swim around all day fine, but most often he spends a lot of the day just resting in the corner of the tankįor about a year now, his right eye has started getting bigger compared to his left. Looking for advice on my black moor goldfish. What is/are the active ingredient/s and how did you administer it? Regarding the med you've used - I'll be honest, I've never heard of it. The lethargy is probably due to not feeling great - he may just be suffering from ich and a tumor, but there's a good chance something is going on internally to have weakened him into this state too. (Depending on if you have plants, this can be as easy as slowly raising temps and adding aquarium salt for a few weeks). Ich is very contagious, and whatever else is going on will need controlled treatment anyway, so I would recommend getting him moved to a QT when you can - do be aware the main tank should be treated for ich as well. He does appear to have what could be an ich infection (the white spots on his body) - breeding stars will only appear on the face/operculi and pectoral fins, so while some of the spots may be breeding stars, the ones on the body are not.
Have his eyes always been lopsided or is that a new development? With telescope breeds it can just be a product of genetics, but if it's a sudden change then something is definitely up. If you can't find any in your area, you may have some luck over in r/askvet, but fish-specialty vets are tough to track down. I don't have much to say about that - my assumption is that it's some kind of tumor, but you would need to get a biopsy to know for sure (and to know what kind, if it is one) so I would recommend looking around for an exotic vet that can treat fish. Wow I have never seen anything quite like the lumps - almost looks like he has a wen growing just in that one spot, but I'm sure that isn't it.
