I wanted to say thanks. I just had a fish with buoyancy issues. I did one Epsom Salt bath and am feeding Repashy. She seems to be doing much better. Thanks a bunch.
Amazing! So glad to hear 🙌
Great video! Very informative! Fingers crossed for your cali!
Thank you 😁
Informative video. Agreed with your opinion on when to use Epsom vs Salt. Keep us posted with the Calico 👍
Wow! Can't believe you watched my video, love your channel! Glad to see we think a like! Thanks for watching 😎👍🏼
@@AquaticElements not only watched but also hit your 🔔, too. Love to see your passion and open-minded sprit in your channel dedicated to goldfish. Keep up all the good work!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that 🙌🏼
Keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Thank you 😊
Good idea with floating bowl in the tank. I do my baths in 60 l tub, may be slightly harder to do 😂
Haha yeah that's a lot bigger 😅.
Hi there did it work my chubunkin swollen thankyou for your video uk happy xmas 😀
Unfortunately, it didn't help mine. You may need to try normal salt if it's dropsy, I have a few videos specifically on dropsy
Good timing
Awesome 😁
Thanks so much for this video, I’m going to try this on one of my pond Sarasa Comets, he’s been laying on bottom of the pond since late August and can only access food by swimming completely vertically to the top. Also jumps and breaches a great deal, have tried fluke treatments but nothing has helped. His swimming looks worse now and looks quite wobbly 😞
Did it help your little chap?
Ahh I'm sorry! Sounds like he is "lunking" or trying to clear his gills. Unfortunately mine eventually passed away but was worth a try. Hope you have more success 🙌🏼
Nice video mate but 1 gallon is 3.78 L
do peas help swim bladder too? my goldfish is curved and horizontal and sinks to bottom and doesn't move
They can help with swim bladder issues due to the high fibre helping to clear the gut, however generally once a fish has developed swim bladder issues it can be hard ro rectify. You could try the kenta gas food
does the Aquarium salt help as well - or it is useless for balder issue ?
I think the aquarium salt makes it worse, but I would definitely search it up!
Epsom salt may help with bladder issues as it is a muscle relaxant but generally once the bladder issue has taken hold it’s hard to reverse.
Hello.i got an black moor goldfish..she changed his colour in kind of gold...in last days i seen he have appeared on his body,tail,and the rest some black marks,,look like mold..i dont know is normal or should i do something?not long time ago one fish died after age or 3...was with his belly up most of the time and cant go deep in the water..let me know what i can do with this black moor with that black marks from his body?like in your video
Hi, the black marks will either be the goldfish shedding it's colour (which is normal) or potentially ammonia burns. Can you test your water for ammonia?
i never do that before in 5 years with these goldfish..i just was on petshop and one guy from there said is normal to my goldfish have that black marks..when i bought it 5 years ago was totally black this black moor...after changed his colour to let say gold ...and now apeared these black marks.
Do you only do it one time? Or how many time you gotta do them?
If the condition doesn't improve you can try repeating daily
How many times do we need to do this thankyou
Hi Chris. Is it possible to always add a very small amount of Epsom salt with a water change to prevent problems. As sort of a preventive measure.
I don't see it causing any harm to the fish although I would probably use normally salt rather than Epsom personally
@@AquaticElements thanks for the reply Chris. Is there a recommended dose for this?
For general dosing I wouldn't go more than 1ppt
@@AquaticElements ppt? Thanks
Ppt (part per thousand) 1g/L
Can we use tge epsom salt in main tank?
You can but I find it better to use in a bath treatment scenario
I got some salt on order (be in next week. I have a few that have been having issues with constipation (we all get it!) and the pea and broccoli diet has only gone so far.
A couple are fairly young, I read you shouldn't do it with young ones?
Hey, how young are they? I wouldn't worry too much unless they are fry. Best to observe them and make sure they don't have any discomfort.
@@AquaticElements About 6 months. I totally screwed up with them! We all make mistakes, I guess. Until now I never had this issue.
Cheers.
Can I use rock salt for dropsy
I havnt ever used it, I wouldnt personally use it and would use non iodized salt like pure vacuum dried salt. Thanks
Did this work ? Gonna try on mine tonight looks like swim bladder issues
Unfortunately the fish passed a few weeks after. Its definitly worth a try though 😁
@@AquaticElements oh god, this is not filling me with hope 😐😐 it’s my most expensive fish too he’s in the bowl as we speak 🙏
Ahhh no I'm sorry! Fingers crossed it works. Have you tried starving him for a few days?
Can I reuse the same epsom salt water solution for two days? I just dont wanna be wasteful lol
I would only use it more than once if you're adding a fish in straight after. If left over night any ammonia or waste build up left in the water could start to break down and potentially lead to polluted water. Personally I wouldn't risk it just incase 😌
@@AquaticElements Thanks for the advice! I only was able to buy A small bottle of epsom salt from the pharmacy cuz I couldn't find any big ones that didn't have any scents on it. So I really wanted to not waste a lot of the epsom salt especially with a small bottle ;( But hopefully I can buy a bigger and cheaper one somewhere locally :D
I'm hoping this will help my 6 year old Goldfish, Nathan! he has white spot thats taking a long time to go away, and now one side he looks bloated, and sitting at the bottom of the tank (still eats, but swims sidways :(
I'm sorry to hear that. Did you manage to clear up the white spot? It's definitely not breeding tubercules? Otherwise, he may have a bacterial infection if he has redness and swelling to the belly
@@AquaticElements Thanks for the response..
He started swimming sideways about 5 pm yesterday and I freaked out, rang up a bunch of fish shops in a nother state that were still open, to see if they could identify what was wrong... most of them just said oh crap that sounds bad, never had that before.... I talked to one older guy whos kept fish for most of his life, he reckons because it was a hard lump on only one side, it was a tumor & there's nothing I could do. So yeah, my poor mate died in the night :(
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔
i have dr teals Epson salt BUT it smells' Lavender - is it ok to use it for my sick fish ?
No I would not use any Epsom salts with added scents, it may harm or endanger your fish's life. Try to find some pure Epsom salt 😁
@@AquaticElements thanks i do that - right on time - i was about to using it
@@AquaticElements my last question - i found pure Epsom salt but on the package it is written , Not for drinking !! is it it okay to use that since is pure and has no smell ?
If it is just pure 100% Magnesium sulphate then it will be okay 😄
@@AquaticElements ok - this morning i did it but smell with lavender - after few minutes i realized the smell is heavy - i removed my molly fish - in first 10 minutes i thought my molly is dead but after 10 minutes start swimming and looks fine but the swimming balder issue still in NOT fix- the Epsom salt i used it had heavy Levander smell- i i had my molly in it les than 2 min - -- it should be fine now ?
How many times can I do this ?
You can try every day if the fush isn't becoming too stressed.
Have you heard of the product Swimbladded Treatment Plus by interpet? It's not available here in the US. Wondering if it's absolutely trash or has merit?
I have not, I assume its just an antibacterial treatment. Do you know what the active ingredients are?
@@AquaticElements
Acriflavine 80 mg/100 ml, 9-aminoacridine HCl 800 mg/100 ml.
I've not heard of these before myself.
@hollywaugh2572 acraflavin is just a mild antibacterial which I like to use. Not sure on the other ingredients. Likely just a mild antibacterial treatment unfortunately
17g of epsom salt per gallon of water
I've seen places selling 'Blessed' Epsom salt online. I guess it eases constipation, swim bladder issues and any demonic possession symptoms your goldfish may be experiencing.
If you are using Epsom salt, I would definitely make sure it's 100% pure with no contaminants. It can definitely be used at a muscle relaxant
@@AquaticElements I have the pure stuff. I have tried one bath last week but I think the problem is permanent with the fish that has problems. Going to try it everyday from tomorrow for a week or so. Thanks for the video 🙏
Did the fish survive ?
Unfortunately it died a few weeks later 😞
But in the internet a tablespoon is like 14.3 grams...
Yes 1 table spoon of something generic like sugar is approximatly 14.3g but 1 table spoon of Epsom salt weighs roughly 17.07g. Just depends on the volume and density of the product being weighed. Thank you for watching 😁
Can I use pure Epsom salt
Yes, just ensure there are no added scents or chemicals 😁
My gold fish is huge 😮
So it's basically marijuana for goldfish.
