Hey Everyone,
I’ve got several sick fish I am trying to nurse back to health. We had to move our pond from our old house unexpectedly and I didn’t want to leave them behind.
Here’s the summary of what I see:
I have two Black Moors that are spending a lot of time laying on the bottom of the tank. They seem to be trending the right direction.
I’ve got one larger fantail goldfish that is blowing bubbles and spending too much time near the surface and a lot of time resting upright on pots. Im not sure he’s trending the right direction.
I have two small fantails (both orange) that have developed a bad case of ick. I have constructed a 30 gallon hospital tank and am treating them with an API Ick treatment. They seem to be trending the right direction.
History:
New pond, 300 gallon Rubber Maid stock tank, just over a week old. Brought plants from old tank, new filters.
Pond was in direct sunlight for a few days but then I realized the water temp was getting to the low 90’s. Wife and I moved the pond back into about 80% shade. Pond temps seem to be stating much lower, in the 70s and low 80s.
Keeping an eye on levels with strips and liquid test kit 2-3 times a day.
Treating the main tank with Pimafex and Malefix daily, today was the 3rd day, plan to do it for 7 days.
Open to advice, willing to go far to make sure this little guys are happy and healthy.
Thanks!
