Malachite Green is one of the best prevention and cures for White Spot and will also aid keeping other parasites at bay. This is a fairly вЂњSoftвЂќ Drug and actually dose no harm to Filteration Units and plants but what it does help is if the fish are a bit low the Malachite Green will keep the Parasites at bay until the fish is back up to strength. If you are purchasing new fish and are putting them into an establish aquarium, and even if you're not, it may be advisable to take an extra precaution of dosing the aquarium with Malachite Green the day after the fish arrive. This is unfortunately part of fishkeeping and, although problems can occur, if the correct procedures are followed the chance of any problems become much less. It can develop very quickly if not treated correctly.Д®very time you introduce new fish into an established set up you run the risk of potential problems. In the early stages this parasite is barely visible to the naked eye, but as the cycle of the parasite progresses you will notice small white dots, like a dusting of Icing Sugar appear on the body, fins or both. Quite easy to fix if caught quickly, but very difficult to cure if missed.

This is by far the single biggest parasite problem associated with Fancy Goldfish.

However if after 3-4 days have passed and the fish still do not look right, that is if they are on the bottom of the aquarium or hanging at the surface fins clamped, assuming everything is ok within the aquarium set up and water quality, the most common problem with Fancy Goldfish in regard to parasites is Whitespot, or Ich which can come out if the immunity of the fish is not up to full speed. On most occasions if it is just the stress of journey the fish will respond within a day or so which is why they need a bit of time to settle. Water quality issues within the aquarium to name just two.

This could be for a few different reasons - stress of movement and journey. This means to say that if the fish for whatever reason does not settle into their new environment their immunity response may be temporarily challenged and not be working as effective as it should be. Please understand that ALL fish will carry a certain amount of natural parasites regardless it is about the fishes immunity response that counts.

Even with our very strict code of protocol and quarantine it does not guarantee 100% disease free problems. Most people do not have a separate quarantine tank for new arrivals, but if you do then my advice is to use it. It may also be beneficial from a stress reduction perspective to turn your Aquarium lights off for three hours or so while the fish are getting used to their new surroundings initially. Then carefully net the fish out of the bag and place in the aquarium. If you cannot fit the bag the fish arrive in on top of your aquarium to acclimatise then leave them in the box beside your aquarium for two hours before letting the fish out just open the box do not open the bag until you are ready to release the fish.

It would be advisable not to tip the water the fish have travelled in into your aquarium. This is to equalize the temperatures of the water. Most of the year the fish will arrive to you cooler in their transport bag than your aquarium, so give the fish a good hour floating in the bag they came in on the top of the aquarium before letting the fish out. Others take a little longer so give the fish a chance to settle into their new surroundings. Most of the fish adapt and settle well fairly quickly, normally within a day or so. When you receive your fish they will have had an overnight journey after being packed the day before by us.
