My fish are dying2007-11-24 23:39:10

They have developed what looks like spiderwebs on them and their fins are falling off. Does anyone know what this is and if so what can i do to keep my other goldfish from getting it and dying too?

Answers:

Why is it some people think everything is ick. Let's review folks. Ick/ich looks like small white dots the size of a grain of salt. This sounds more like a fungus with fin rot as a secondary infection. Without seeing the fish, and possibly even looking at scrapping under a scope. I couldn't say for sure, and neither can anyone else.

I'd recommend an anti-fungal agent, and a broad spectrum antibiotic. Even if it's just a fungal infection your fish are very vulnerable to bacterial infections.

Examples:

-Jungle fungus eliminator, with any med containing trisulfa

-Pimafix and Melafix

- Maracyn and Maracyn 2 or just Maracyn plus

It sounds like they have the "ick" (really, that's a real term. I'm not sure if I spelled it right, though). They have drops for that at the pet store.

i had goldfish for years and i never saw anything like that. you may want to go to the pet store and ask them. some times you get a person that actually knows what their talking about.

Sounds like ick, you can get medication at a pet store.

I don't know much about fish but maybe it's the type of food, the temperature of the water, the tank isn't clean or the types of fish that you have together in a tank. You should also try and google the type of fish you have to get a better answer.

It sounds like a fungus of some kind. Call the pet store and talk to their fish expert --- it may be your best and most reliable information..
