For A few days ive noticed that my goldfish had a hard time keeping himself down on the tank
Attributing this to overweight I fed him less , he seems much more in control now (less barrel rolls and bumping into objects)
but also a little more lethargic
I've also transported a water heater from my sick betta fish to his tank.
But he has developed red blood lines across his body and has a prolapsed anus with white stringy poop
He has an 8 gallon tank . It wasn't washed for a long time , but a week ago I washed it with shampoo (mistake)
I have been giving him aquarium salts and generic medication , but he seems getting worse.
I even do daily water changes with tap water, have no conditioner but tap water never hurt him before (he is 1 year old)
He is developing red streaks from tail to body and shiny metallic spots.
Is this parasitic ? is this internal infection?
How serious is this
, I have no water testing equipment and thermometer
?
I am in lockdown due to corona cant access any thing else
COULD THIS BE DUE TO SHIFT OF DIET (20-30 pellets x2 a day to 15 pellets 2x a day)
Please help , any way I can help my goldfish here are the pics:
