I was checking all of my tanks when I got up today, and one of the two goldfish I picked up is in sorry condition.
His tail is a bit shredded, and the back 1/4 area of his body is a brownish orange, the darkest part around his anus. He is swimming a lot slower today than yesterday, and I saw one of the loaches chase him earlier.
It is a 90 gallon tank, hardness 110 ppm, ph 7.4, temperature 68° F, substrate is black imagitarium sand. I have some rocks (agates and lava rocks) and the tank is moderately planted with bucopa, corkscrew val, water sprite, hornwort, a striped anubias, marimo balls, duckweed, frogbit, and water lettuce.
I run a Tidal 75 on it.
The stock is 12 White Clouds, 3 Dojo Loaches, and 2 Red Cap Oranda goldfish. All of them, except a couple White Clouds, were added this weekend.
