My Ranchu Died!!!
-
my goldfish died this morning of suspected stomach cancer. as foul play is not suspected no autopsy will be conducted.
there will not be a wake.
thank you in advance for all condolences.
kindly observe one minute silence.
all flags will fly half-mast today.

Must be you never make sure the water conditions are correct la
By the way you are aware that our water contains chlromines besides chlorine right? Make sure your anti-chlorine has anti-chlormine too. -
i had 10 ranchus once but all ten died within a yr.

wow my condolence and bye bye to your $$$$Originally posted by dragg:about 2 1/2". $25 for one.
4 died over a period of 2 yrs?? emm that's consider fast sia....
but during those days when i started learning to keep a tank of goldfishes, they died even faster that yours... 
could it be filter not good enugh?? or over eaten??

i have stopped using anti-chlorine solution. -
goodbye ranchu
all you did in your life
was to swim, eat and poo
oblivious to all the strife
swim around was all you'd do
now although it cuts like a knife
you're dead, so down the loo

mine is a jewel tank. water quality should be ok. maybe its overfeeding. i found a bleeding patch on the fish's belly.Originally posted by a_splash:wow my condolence and bye bye to your $$$$

all 4 died of the same cause. -
Wah liao you win!Originally posted by dragg:i wonder if it is really because of that.
i have stopped using anti-chlorine solution.
Goldfish can be said to be pretty sensitive
You need to use it la coz of how the water is treated in Singapore.
Just an anti-chlorine is no longer enough. It has to be anti-chloromine as well.
'Stress-Coat' is a good brand but bloody ex
It's anti-stress slime coat for fish + anti-chlorine + anti-chloromine + neutralise heavy metals in water -
Do you keep plecos with your goldfish?Originally posted by dragg:mine is a jewel tank. water quality should be ok. maybe its overfeeding. i found a bleeding patch on the fish's belly.

u must be very anxious to see a big fat ranchu hurhurhur....Originally posted by dragg:mine is a jewel tank. water quality should be ok. maybe its overfeeding. i found a bleeding patch on the fish's belly.

maybe cut down the food...see how it goes??
my cheap cheap goldies (20 for $2) now only eat once in two or three days....all going well -
i stopped because the solution is really too expensive.Originally posted by elindra:Wah liao you win!

i used to add salts for fish water but switched to conventional salts too. much cheaper!!!
it must be due to overfeeding.
btw what is plecos? -
it wld live longer if u had named it as JAWS or TERMINATOR
-
Errr our conventional salt has higher iodine content compared to aquarium salts which is not suitable for some fishes. Not sure about goldfish.Originally posted by dragg:i stopped because the solution is really too expensive.

Plecos are called sucker fish. Ppl believe they eat shit but they do not. They eat algae but will also eat fish slime off slow moving fishes like goldfish -
For me I keep bloody sensitive and expensive to rear fish so everything has to be perfect or they die.
I need to do a 20% water change every 2-3 days too -
there is something wrong with the water ...Originally posted by dragg:i threw it into the chute.

goldfish are sensitive to water changes
If you spot there are fungi growth on the fish, some times you can add salt to their water but not too much. -
i change 3/4 tank once every 2 weeks.
