Size of aquarium/pond - 3'
Types of fish - gold fish and catfish and loaches
Number of fish and sizes - 10, up to 5" i guess
Filtration used and how do you clean it and how often - fluval 3, every 2 weeks, or sooner if its dirty
How much in the way of water changes and how often -- every 2 weeks, about 40 to 50 lts
Do you dechlorinate - no, no chlorine in water to start with
Symptoms of sick fish ie, spots, behaviour, etc - Fish have started to pick on another, 2 fish are eating his fins and tail. Another fish is getting a big growth over one of his eyes. this growth has gotten big in the last few days, up till now its been slow, has had it for around a year.
How long has the fish been sick and which medications are your currently using or recently used - just salt at this stage
Test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph both from the tap and tank - not sure, ph is normal, ammonia is uasully normal
Anything else you need us to know - tank temp is around 20deg, naturally that temp, no heater.
Im just worried about the fish that is being picked on, why is it happening? I have had them all for 3 years and they have got along really well untill now. I know that i shouldnt have goldfish and loaches and catfish in same tank, I have my reasons, so please no lectures on that.
thanks in advance for any help.
