  • If the fin rot has advanced the full length of the fin and is threatening the body, this procedure would need to be accompanied by a course of suitable antibiotics.

    Does the tissue grow back? In minor cases where only the fin tissue is affected it probably will, but in more advanced cases, particularly if the fin rays (bones) are affected, the chances of re-growth are slim

  • Thanks for the info she is still alive I am still medicated her. she eats and gets around the tank on her back she does turn over fom time to time,she dosn't seem to be getting worse thank god. so every 4 days I clean the tank and re med her. I had a beta lose itswhole tail and it came back not perfect but it did come back.

  • how's lipstick doin now?

  • she is still doing ok she is still eating and doing ok. I will have to make anther video she perfers to not be in the sling she moves around on the bottom better with out the gravel, she is still getting the meds she is a fighter she wants to live.

    thanks for asking.

  • Some hobbyists feed their fish peas to treat this infection. Perhaps this works by helping in the digestion process. Try this: stop feeding the fish for a few days, give the fish optimal water conditions by performing frequent small water changes (10% every week) and see if the problem clears up.

  • Thanks I will do that. Linda

  • Lip Stick looks like my fish speedy but not a comet goldfish

  • is she still alive? if not R.I.P lipstick =(

  • You are a great fish mama :) very intelligent idea with the sling, make sure it doesn't rub her too much :)

  • clap!clap!clap!clap!clap!clap!­clap!clap!clap!Encore! Bravo! Well done!!!!!!!!

  • my fish is having weird disappearance of the tip of her dorsal fin and her tail fin. What could this be?

    P.S. Good luck to your fish.

  • hahahahahah kewl a sling for fish thats so kwl .

  • My fish got fin rot and it started going onto its scales so I didn't think it would make it. In the middle of the winter where the snow was really deep my dad drove me to the pet store and got some medicine. It was all natural. I didn't think Marble was going to make it. But he fought and it was a miracle. Today he is happy and healthy and fin rot free. I'm so glad u care so much about ur fish and that it is helping

  • sad

  • hey srry to inform you, but lip stick will never get her tail back... once the fin rot has reached the base of the tail and starts to get at the tissue the tail will never grow back but great job! i could hav never thought of putting a goldfish in a sling! also btw make sure you keep an eye on her and that the " fin rot" doesnt become "body rot" in other words just make sure her body doesnt start to rot

  • Ah, what you have done to help her is Amazing! ;)

    One of my Goldfish has fin rot, but luckily i got the meds she needed and her tail is growing back!

    It was badly frayed, and my other tank mates were biting at her tail, which made it worse ;(
