Crash was 1st.. not doing to good, fat fish common next hes liking it ;D Two more to go... What a mess!! If crash don't get better should I re catch and maybe do a salt bath? Did I tell you folks I really like you lots?? What is Crash doing? Did you have any problems in the move? What are the current water parameters? Even though thise who have read my posts know that I tend to mention the use of baths quite abit, but this may be a case where a bath may make things worse, uless there is s known issue other than stress. Adding Prime to the water adds some electrolytes and may help with natural slime coat regeneration. Adding salt to the tank at 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons may help as will Wonder ShellsOne other consideration is Melafix as this is relatively inert and can help with tissue repair. Oh and we like you lots too ;D Carl |

She's floating again, took the longest with her. She seems to be doing a little better, should I go ahead and add salt?

Yes, at 1 tablspoon per 5 gallons (assuming there is not salt already, if so only as per the amount of water changed) The bath may be in order again as per your observation (Epsom salt and MB may used and would imrpove the bath results) Make sure to soak your foods well and small more frequent feedings are vastly better for goldfish due to their long intestinal tract.

Yeah. It sounds like you did. I have a betta named Crash. Her nickname is Button. She may have trouble swimming due to a genetic defect but she likes to jump out of the water almost 3 inches to get food whenever I feed her! Got to watch that... She is adorable.
