Hi,

My goldfish stays at the bottom of the tank since this morning. When I had a closer look at it, it seems like he is having Diarrhea. I did 50% water changed and add in sea salt. By the way, his body color is white but now is turning orange?
I did water test
Ammonia : 0.05
Nitrite : 0

What is the best way to treat his diarrhea?

is it bloated in anyway? can you post pics? it is hard to tell what the problem is, but most likely it has a bacteria/virus or a parasite... thats waht it sounds like to me at least...

I'd agree that it needs treatment as well as the water change.

moving you to the hospital forum...


Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
