Goldfish is looking 99% better
to recap on what happend our 2 oranda goldfish developed scale problems,they had no obvious signs of body swelling so ruled out Dropsy( Orandas have big tummys as normal) was half way through treatment for body flukes with waterlife's (sterazin) and (vitazin) when one of the fish passed away. did a water change and the following day treated Alans recomendation of (Esha2000)i kept adding the vitazin to aid recovery to the remaining fish! Esha is a 3 day course where as the waterlife is a 10 day treatment. i will water change and treat a second time before returning the fish to the display tank Once again Thanks Alan. |

awh hope there are ok got any pics i love fancy goldfish ive got |

the remaining fish is a strong male......who we have 6 month old babys from
i wi add that i was sure we were doing to loose the fish as his scales pineconed like right angles to its body.......if it had dropsy then Esha2000 realy has worked wonders! |

3 months old and thats the size? what you feeding it on?  |
| 15-07-2007 00:30 by robert.pope |
the 3 month comment was a rough guess as to when photo was taken ........they hatched christmass week and now they are little over half inch body length and one is much larger at around 3/4 inch .....+ tail fins
fed on fry food,daphnia,and also regularly fed on frozen garden pea mashed in water less the skin! making a pea soup........to keep them going regularly |

Glad it seems to have worked the esha remedies in my opinion are the best on the market I try to use nothing else sadly availability isn't always great. |
