Medication Advice (goldfish)
Posted: Sat May 02, 2015 10:25 am
one of my goldfish (the white one if you remember me!) has a bloated side.
her side is discoloured slightly and a few scales are lifting.
at first, both of my fish went through their normal swelling (which i always attributed to holding eggs) but this time, the swelling one one of their sides (right side) hasn't disappeared.
i found a treatment in my local store but since i have no experience (or very little) with shop bought medicines, i wanted to check if it was safe to use.
i have 2 goldfish and 1 weather/dojo loach in the same tank.
here are the medicine details
Name: Interpet Anti Internal Bacteria 100ml
Active Ingredients: Bronopol 523mg, Formaldehyde 1,000mg, Benzalkonium Chloride 250mg
It states on the box that it is for use with 'ornamental fresh water fish only'.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. If you have any ideas for alternative treatments that would be safer or better please let me know!
