My goldfish has fungus growing on his lips What do I do2007-11-24 23:38:35

His lips look very swollen and very red with white puss on the tips. He has also lost some color in his fins. At the tip of his back fin, it's starting to turn black. What can I do to heal him? He can't even eat because his lips are so big.

Answers:

You will have to start by improving the water quality. The black is from ammonia burns. You have probably been feeding about double what you should have been and the extra food has caused the ammonia levels to skyrocket. Change half of the water now and don't feed the fish for a few days (they won't starve for at least a week). Go to the pet store and buy an anti fungal to treat the tank. After three days, change half of the water again and only feed your goldfish a greatly reduced diet (every other day for a week while your water quality improves). In future, be careful how much you feed your fish.

Got to your local pet store and buy some antifungal/bacterial medicine that you can add to the water. You will need to remove any carbon filtration from you filter. Ask your pet shop owner for help, they are usually good about this.

I agree with Liam. They sell many kinds of anti fungal medicines at the petstore, and even walmart. You do have to remove any carbon-type filters, as they will filter out the meds. Good luck!
