Black Moor fish sick? PlEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question

my fish is usually very active. I just cleaned her bowl today and used two drops of water purifier (as directed on the package). I made sure the new water was the same temperature as the old water. When I put my fish in the fresh water, it stopped moving around and stood straight up on its tail fin. It juyt stayed like that. It is usually very active. Any fish experts out there? I'm really worried. Please help soon; my fish could die any minute.

Answer 1

If the temperature was ok and you used dechloinator as directed the next most likely possibility is pH shock. Depending on how severe it is would determine if it will permanently harm or kill the fish. If the fish is still breathing after an hour, it will probably make a full recovery. The only thing you can do it give it a quite, darkened area in which to recover.

Black Moor Goldfish are typically bred for quantity, not quality. So once they get sick, they're hard pressed to heal. However, all is not lost. Keeping your moor in a separate bowl is a good idea. Inspect his body for fuzzy stringy material, lumps or white bumps, tearing and shredding fins, red streaks, severe bloating, or film on his eyes. These are all typical bacterial infections, and require certain medications. Generic anti bacterials will help, but if hes a filter-sticker, it's too late for a weaker medication.

Once you find the right medicine for him, keep the water at about 74*f. the added heat will help kill bacteria. If you don't want to heat him up (extreme heat shortens their lifespan from 35 years to about 8) cool him off to around 55*F. Extreme cold can shorten their lives too, but not as drastically. Either way, extreme temperatures make it harder for bacteria to survive. Adding salt was a good step as well, as it helps kill off bacteria. Other then that, keep his water clean, don't over feed him, and make sure his water doesn't become toxic from ammonia.

Best wishes, and hope things work out for you.

You're not exactly supposed to give a full water change. You need to take out a small amountn of water from the old water and then replace the part you took out with new water. Your moor probably is in shock fro the sudden change in the water quality.
