If you know anything about fish-

Question

I have had 3 Goldifsh for a couple weeks now, one orange, and two white and orange. My orange one's fin is turning black at the ends..Is this bad? HELP! ASAP

Answer 1

this is nothing to worry about, actually it's good.

Goldfish when they are kept in bad conditions get burns, ammonia burns to be specific, when they are moved into good water the burns start to heal, as they are healing the burns turn black, later they turn back to the nornal colour.

Alot of pet shops don't have very good water so you'll find this sometimes after buying fish, even my fish had it and it soon went.

Answer 2

Hey I feel sad to say that your goldies have fin rot

Answer 3

It could be fin and tail rot get some rx drops at any store even wallmart.  

Answer 4

It's ammonia burns from poor water quality.  Do a huge water change immediately.  3 goldfish should be in a minimum of a 40 gallon tank with excellent filtration.  They are huge waste producers.

Answer 5

have you changed the water?  its called fin rot.

Answer 6

It could be Ammonia. You should change your Goldfishes water and buy some Ammonia remover. Ammonia is caused by the urine in your fish so you should change your water occasionally and reduce feeding for awhile.

A$H!

Answer 7
