Picked up two goldfish a week ago today, one black moor and one fantail. The Blackmore came with some of his fin damaged with a sort of hole in the centre but seeing how cramped the tank was in the shop I just thought he'd been injured by another fish.
He was really still and quiet up until 2 days ago where he seems to have cheered up and swims around happily but today he's come up with a white cottony spot inside the gap in his fin, not bothering him but what should I do?
The water is ammonia 0.1, nitrite 0 and nitrate 10 PH 8
I know the tanks too small even though the man in the shop (supposedly a good independent aquatics store....) told me I could easily put 3 in a 21 litre tank for a year before moving them. They are currently less than an inch long and in a 21 litre tank with a live plant, no idea what it is though.
They will be moved to a 100litre in the next few weeks and the fantail will go in to a family members pond with the other goldfish once big enough.
So.. What do I do with the white fluff? I've been doing 25% water changes every day since we got them and adding interpret ammonia remover but I don't feel I've done enough
