Re: [AquaticLife] HELP MY GOLDFISH ARE SICK AND DYING

Hi Noura,

I agree with you, salt is a great healer & I hate using any medication,
especially 'broad spectrum' unless it is recommended by a vet. I've used
salt many times to heal all sorts of problems as it kind to the filters. A
couple of years ago one of my male Comets tore a huge section of his tail
away while chasing the female, so much that it affected the posture of his
swimming. Must have been around 4" long x half an inch piece & it ripped
along the grain of the rays. I just swabbed it with iodine & then salted
the tank for a few days, it grew back over the next 7 or 8 months & now you
would never know there had ever been any damage.

Glad you got your Angels healed, even though the sound like they hate each
other now!
