Goldfish disease

My pet goldfish had a diseese called microbacteriosus. The disese causes the inside of the fishes body to turn black and his organs eat themselves. I bought him from a very bad and low quality pet shop. I kept him alive for 11 months.

I actually did go to the pet store. the guy gave me a strong medicine for ick but it wasnt ick. it turns out it was microbacteriousus(im not sure if thats spelled correctly). the medicine for that is 200 dollars and its not even guarenteed to work. thats 200 for a 1 dollar fish

I know because his skin is ripping open.

the other fish are still alive and are now in a bigger tank.

I put him down by freezing him because i didnt want him to suffer. I put him the freezer which i was told is best way to put him down.

I took care of him very well. I changed the water every week and put a whole crap load of stuff in the water to treat him. I also bought him from a low quality pet shop. When he died I burried him. He lived for a year.

Oh my goodness you guys! You're all wrong! First of all, that goldfish DOES have an internal parasite, which you can treat with medicated food. His organs are NOT eating themselves, it's the parasites living inside of him, that's why he has the stringy white and clear poo. Also, as you can tell from the lesions and floating things on his body, those are anchor worms, which are easy to treat with Jungle Parasite clear. You should've quarantined him, Those disease are highly contagious

poor little guy, thanks for saving this fish though i hope it didnt suffer when its sick...

it might infect by fungus with the injury skin where no longer protected. better quarantine with a clean clinic tank with 0.3% salt and enough oxygen. Clear all the gravel in the main tank (im pretty sure there's lots of "shit" in the gravels that contaminate the water quality. ). I keep all my GF in a clear tank so that i can be sure there are nothing stuck in the base.

Finally I found out what my fish has!! YES. But O no at the same time. Now I can figure out a way to treat it. I have been searching for about a month for another fish with these bumps and white marks. I was figuring it was tumors.

Freezing is a very harsh way to "put down" a fish. Their cells freeze causing ice crystals and basically explode. I know it is a recomended euthinazia method, but it is a horrible death. In the future you should put them in a bowl and add some clove oil. It works as a sedative and puts them to sleep then add enough to over dose them.

I am sorry you lost your fish, but happy the others have gotten a larger tank. I have never heard of the disease you mention though.

Dang, you kept it alive for 11 months and it had a disease? I can't even keep one alive for 2 months.

use antibiotics and increase the tempature of the tank to 78 degrees
