Newbie with a fungus problem?
I’m not sure how accurate they are but here’s one… https://www.pondrx.com/products/16179.html
I would save the 10 dollars for the larger tank. As long as you’re not over the 5 teaspoons per gallon (0.5%), you’ll be OK. Anywhere between 0.2% and 0.5% will have therapeutic benefits for sick fish. Then a series of 25% PWC’s will bring the level down to negligible levels. After the fish are healed up, you will NOT be using salt in the tank any longer so the test kit would just go to waste. The only thing that caused you issues in the beginning is that you were mistaken on tank size. If you had that right from the start, you wouldn’t be having salt level worries.
And here is the goldfishes answer to your wheeled cart for the rat… the buoyancy compensator sling for a goldfish with floaty issues… lol http://www.npr.org/templates/gallery/index.php?gallery=5262470 &slide=1 (check out the other slides also) http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/DataGuru/Goldies/BugsySling/ http://thegab.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15001 &highlight=sling http://thegab.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9105 &highlight=sling
On a side note, I used to be a very active member on GAB but the owner booted me since I would constantly debate with the owner and mods about proper goldfish tank size recommendations and inform other members that the GAB’s Goldfish Care sheet was not a good one since it only recommended 10G per goldfish… and then they wonder why so many of their members fish have so many health problems??? Go figure! Other than thier Goldfish Care Sheet, they are very knowledgeable… kind of how the ER in an inner-city is the best place to go for a gunshot. Ask any cop! As long as they insist on keeping their goldfish in 10G of water, they’ll have plenty of sick and stunted goldfish to practice their medicine on.. but at least we can learn from their mistakes and treatment options.
