Reddness

[Fake_widow]

Hey all, I was hoping someone could help me out with my goldfish.

160 ltr tank

3 - comet goldfish
4 - black widows
2 - silver dollars

Nitrite - 0
ph - 7.2
amonia - 0
Nitrates - 60

My oldest comet has one eye enlarged and redness around it. I dont know if you can see in this photo i attached. But the eye is approx twice as large. She hasnt been acting unusual at all. She still has an appitite and socialises with all my other fish. I have just noticed her eye is gowing....please help Im in the middle of a med atm PIMAFIX

Your tanks way overstocked and I'm surprised at your stats.
First goldfish alone needs 20gal and then then gallon for every other one added.
The eye sounds like a bacterial infection you will need to treat with a bacterial med.
Pimafix is for fungal not bacteria.

Thanks for the post wilder. Can you recomend a bacterial med (australia). Would be much appreciated. Btw overnight an ulcer has developed under her eye.....Pic attached

Not sure on meds in your country,sorry, ulcers are bacterial, but they can be an underlaying problem like parsites so keep a look out.
