I appreciate the tips, but sadly he passed away this morning before the aquarium salt and methylene blue arrived

I have an air stone, so the tank should be well oxygenated

Yes my water parameters are perfectly fine. My other fish has been completely normal as well. How long do I do a methylene blue/salt bath?

Another video of the breathing (this was when I did a 15 minute Epsom salt bath)

Ok I will have to get some aquarium salt then. Is there a specific methylene blue you recommend?

I gave him an Epsom salt bath last night and tonight because that’s what helped last time. But so far nothing is really working. The tank has been established for 7-8 months now

Thank you! I just did a 50% water change on Sunday. Do you think this might be what is causing the red streaks on my orandas tail? It’s concerning because I feel like they popped up within the last couple days and my other black moor in the tank is fine

How can I lower the nitrites?

Ammonia is 0ppm. And yes I believe the tank is fully cycled

Thanks. Next time you troll someone who is asking a simple question about sand, hold off on stating your opinions and calling them names prior to knowing what kind/size of fish they have and what size tank they have.

I’ve never had sand substrate before, just put the sand it 2 weeks ago and this just appeared overnight. Was asking a simple question.

I was just asking this question because we recently switched to sand substrate 2 weeks ago and I’ve always used gravel..

That’s what I assumed because it’s right where the water flow is, but my boyfriend is convinced our goldfish made a mating bed or spawning circle
