HIS BUBBLES ARE BUSTED THE CATFISH GOT HIM BUT HE HAS OTHER ISSUES RIGHT NOW WHAT KIND OF MEDICINE CAN I USE ON HIM CAN I USE MARACYN THESE PEOPLE DONT NEED ANY FISH I HAVE DOCTORED UP ABOUT TEN FISH SO FAR I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WRONG.

I just went through this with a lionshead that was given to me. His fins were rotting off and he was in bad shape. I was told on here to use Melafix and used it as directed for 7 days and the fish is doing 100% better. I also used it on a large 7 inch Tin foil bard i was given. He was on his last leg also.Losing fins,eye was clouded over,he was in bad bad shape.The Melifix had him eating and looking better in 4 days.
I have also used Marasyn on a black moore i took in with fin rot. It did well too,but i like Melafix because it does well,smells good,and is easy to find and reasonably priced.
I would say that this fish was in poor water quality. Probably not cleaned and filtered properly.
Its sad when people think they can just get a tank, fill it with water and drop fish in it,with no more care other than feeding every once in a while.
Good luck!

AND THEY WOULDNT EVEN CHECK THE AMMONIA NOT UNLESS I CAUGHT THEM GONE LONGER ENOUGH TO CHECK THE WATER AND I WOULD BUT STUFF IN THE TANK TO BRING THE AMMONIA DOWN BUT IT ONLY LAST FOR A DAY AND THEN IT IS RIGHT BACK UP IT HAS TO BE BAD CONDITIONS FOR A GOLD FISH TO GET SICK,AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD

no these people are my neighbors is the ones with the gold fish the local fish store is the ones with the sharks if you ask me they both are just alike I am going to make a trip down to the pet store and i am going to tell them one more time not to sell these people anything because they dont have enough know how to keep fish or they just plain dont give a hoot one I think it should be against the law for people to treat something like that they think becasuse it is a fish that it doesnt matter but it does to me I have 18 cats because they are strays that anyone didnt want and I knew they would be put to sleep if they went to the shelter and it has cost me and my boyfriend a small fortune getting them spayed and thier shots plus feeding them. That should give you some ideal how mad i get when people mistreat something.

Actually,

It is easier for goldfish to contract diseases than it is tropicals!!!

The misconception about goldfish is they are hardy fish that are hard to kill, when in fact they need better water quality than most fish!!!

Most professional goldfish breeders recommend 15 -20 gallons of tank water per adult goldfish (Fancy) and this goes up when talking ablout Koi!!

Goldfish should really be kept in a species only tank as well, or at least with very passive fish.

So you see.....goldfish are hardy if cared for properly, but if not are suceptable to all kinds of bacterial and intestinal diseases.

One last note.....IMO there is no treatment that will "heal" the bubble over the fishes eyes!!!
