Poisoned goldfish rescue, dealing with toxic chemicals in pond or aquarium water.

Bless any person that helps animals. Thank you fish doctor for helping these fishies. RIP the ones that didn’t make it 😪

Especially people who help animals that many consider "disposable".

I lost 85 percent of my koi and goldfish earlier this year. The behaviors were flashing, breaching, erratic swimming/surging. I suspected one of my neighbors sprayed herbicide or pesticide. The fish passed in succession despite water changes, tank relocation, elevated oxygen, charcoal, clay, medications. Out of 25 fish I have 7 that survived (2 goldfish, 5 koi... I was devastated. Some of fish were over 25 years old.

Fish Doctor to the rescue! Sad about the pesticide being used nearby :(

Hello Dr. Richmond. We need more great fish veternarians. Your videos are very informative and I love watching your videos! I have bettas and I have found one fish vetenarian near me in Illinois! I wish they would make home visits.

[@Davidj3]

I've had a company knock on my door and say there pesticides natural and safe. I told them no il pass I'm glad I did.

[@EmEm78]

Natural definitely doesn't mean safe. I'm glad you didn't believe their claims.

[@EmEm78]

I love the axolotl shirt. Thank you for all your help recently when I asked a lotl questions about my axolotls ;) You were super helpful during our phone/email consult and I'm recommending you to everyone I know with aquatic pets all over the world :)

Question can you cure fish with swim bladder disease with api general cure

[@DigestingOrb50]

Great work love the videos

[@alexvids9232]

the guy spraying should know the dangers to fish and explain that to the owners. the owner should also have known the dangers of spraying around his pond. very stupid mistake.

[@heftyhefty_]

I wonder if the same goes for bad air warnings due to wildfires. Should we turn off filtration during those events?

[@McFlyKilljoys25]

Hey, I could not help but notice how you take care of fish. I purchased a shubunkin goldfish 2 weeks ago and noticed she has a deformity on her mouth, the left side seems to be caved in but the right side seems to be fine. I want to know what could have caused this? She still seems very young and I am currently keeping her in a quarantine tank before introducing her to the main aquarium. Sometimes she will rub the side of her mouth against the tank. Is there anything I can do to make it better? I am concerned that she may have other illness too, last week I treated her with fluke solve and now started dosing with melafix as she gets sores on her fins that come and go. I want her to have the very best chance and although I have only had her a short time, I dont want to lose her and I cant stand to see her suffer. She seems healthy otherwise and is eating fine, though it takes her longer to get her food. She is currently swimming around the tank happily foraging for food :)

@@thefishdoctor8746 Thank you, I will try to get a video of her. She is quite small and moves about a lot so it is hard getting clear pictures She is still eating, she is pooping a lot too so I have cut her food down a little to be sure to not over feed her. She does have difficulty engulfing her food like a normal fish would, but she is still able to eat.

Hi doctor, I'm a new member, following your statement on salt, I wanted to ask if it's 5g/l or 5 mg/l

Hi Doc Im From Philippines I asked you a favor melachite Green good for treatment fish. Like Betta Fish or other fish? I hope you will notice me this question.

[@thefishdoctor8746]

Malachite green is not recommended for scaleless fish and is banned for use in fish intended for human consumption (do not use in aquaculture and in aquaponics). I've not used it in Bettas.

[@fannyarthur3229]

Aw poor fish 🙁

So heavy breathing solutions might be olive oil?

Hello Dr Richmond My goldfish are about 5-7 cm. I see white calcium hard stone-like debris about 3 mm long on the bottom of the aquarium. The aquarium is completely empty, there are only fish and an external filter system. What could be the things I believe come from these stone-like fish?

[@amaliafilip2886]

Doctor please help me,my Betta fish has swim bladder disease and he floats up but his body position is normal.He is still able to swim down the aquarium if I put my finger near him.I try to not feed him 4 days and he pooped a lot.I was afraid on the 4 day that he is sad and weak and starving, so I give him less than 8 pellets of Betta food that I moisturize before giving to him...Last night he looked more energic and try by himself to go to the bottom and swim a little.But now on the 5 day I don't know what to do,feed him or no? Ohh I almost forgotten to say that I try feeding him boiled small pieces of pea and he didn't want to eat them because they falled on the bottom of the tank,this was in day 3.

[@christinemartin4316]

Feed the amount size of his eye. He will do better if you feed him daphnia a few times a week. Still not much size his eye.

[@arvind8302]

Thanks for the video, I guess it was too late for me, hope the video would’ve come out a tiny bit earlier, i had 10 tiger barbs I put into a restored tank a few days ago (restored: reapplied sealant) all of them started showing the exact same symptoms and died off this morning. I am inclined to thinking that the sealant wasn’t meant for aquarium use (was white and a little chalky) and would’ve caused water poisoning. I would’ve loved to know how to mitigate such a situation a tad bit earlier. But well, now I do….

[@thomasneal9291]

Sounds like plumber's caulk. Definitely NOT for use in aquariums.

Hi! I am actively searching for advices to help me organize goldfish rescues. ... I have been trying .. well I saved comet & common goldfish from a public pound, but I failed to make them live in aquarium after that. I made many mistakes in the process , and learned from it , but that wasn't enough, all my rescued goldfish died , execpt 2 that were adopted from someone else. I want to make the rescue project smaller and save maybe 1 to 4 goldfish instead. I want advices on how to quarantine them , make sure they don't have parasites/worms and how to know if they have it / how to treat it after that. I have been trying to find answers to my questions with a veterinarian, but it didn't worked.. as a result of 100s of dollars spent for them of vet consults & antibiotics, time & energy they died. I am far away to have your knowledge but I am looking forward to it so I can save more animals by myself in the future (I will be a vet!). I wish a specialist like you could help me , giving me advices on how to set up a tank & quarantine & treat to successfully give a second chance to these goldfish. If there is a place I can contact you online or a specialist that cares for fishes , that's with y'all that I want to communicate now. & I would rather pay to talk to you to have your advices since you do rescues & complex operation than pay to (sorry but) some people that don't care & just want the money :/ .. fish vets near me are rare & people that are "specialized" in aquariums near me seem to just care about the hobby of fish keeping mostly, not the fish ... Personnaly I don't care about the hobby I just want to save animals & do what I can with what I have for them..🤍

My bf runs a landscaping company. He has all his licenses. Pesticide being one . Environmental, wildlife, fish is a main focus, so this doesn't happen. I'd go after the company. Make a bet whoever sprayed it, wasn't licensed. If this ever happened to me. Livid and devasted

[@puppy969]

At the very least, the idiot that sprayed this chemical has less than half a brain & has no business using pesticides. I agree the fish owner should seek compensation from the pest control company.
