Sick goldfish

[Solitmama]

Hi,

this guy has been sick for about three days. He’s not eating and sitting on the bottom of tank gasping. I have two plecos that aren’t right either.

I’ve treated tank with erythromycin, general cure, melafix and super ick cure. I don’t know what’s going on. Help. Pics attached.

FYI, I just started the ick treatment.

Looks like he is covered with ick. I don’t believe goldfish can tolerate warm water so meds may be your best bet. Pictures of the other fish?

Hopefully the Goldfish pulls through but you will have to be discipline with aquarium maintenance gravel vacuuming and proper water changes while medicating.

I do 33% water change every two weeks. I vacuum gravel at the same time. My maintenance is impeccable.

I recently added new fish. I quarantined them for two weeks first but I did not treat with meds. They looked fine.

I suggest 50% water changes Goldfish and Common Pleco are large waste producers. What are your water parameters?

What size tank is it?
I also would like to ask for the parameters.
