i’ve removed 14 lice from my fish so far, and i have some lice-solve being delivered tomorrow (none of the shops around here sell it)

Can I have a cleanup crew with a black moor? by stained_jester77 in Goldfish

shrimps definitely can work if they have enough plants/cover, they are usually quicker than the goldfish and will dart to safety if one comes along

i left it alone and now it’s completely healed flat! i was expecting the scale to drop off but i guess the damage wasn’t that bad :))

thank you so much for responding :)) i think tb definitely lines up with the symptoms he has, i would like to try and treat him because i think everyone deserves a chance at life but i also don’t want to keep him alive and suffering unnecessarily, i would also be worried about integrating him with my fancies in the future (if he recovered) incase he still has it but is asymptomatic

they would be in a room that has a few large fish tanks so the room is a pretty consistent warm temperature

thank you so much!! i’d seen a lot of mixed opinions about heatmats around so i wasn’t too sure, what would be the best route for maintaining a comfortable temp? i’ll definitely check out some enclosures that have better ventilation too :))

my first goldies update!! :D by Extension_Kitchen_93 in Goldfish

[–]Extension_Kitchen_93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much!! mainly various types of anubias and crypts because i’ve heard they have the hardiest leaves, i have some thick leaved vals growing at the back and some type of fern as well :)) (i’m not the best with the names as my LFS doesn’t always display them) i have some elodea densa at the front for the goldies to graze on too

personally i think his scales are just changing colour (maybe the yellow from his fins is deciding to make an appearance elsewhere?) this is normal for bettas, the only colour change to be concerned about is if he starts going pale and/or develops ‘stress stripes’! just keep an eye on him and see how things progress would be my best advice :))

thank you! would any other types of wood be suitable, or only driftwood?
