A couple days ago, a red rash showed up on the side of my Ranchu's body and now it seems to have spread to other parts of his body. I'm not quite sure how to explain it so here are some pictures:
He's been eating normally and swimming relatively normal, except sometimes he will flick his body around in a weird way though he doesn't seem to be flashing as he's not trying to rub himself on anything.
On the right side of his body near the tail end where there's a bit of the red rash on it, there also appears to be something that looks similar to a blister as it's slightly swollen.
Anyone have idea what the cause of this might be and how to remedy it? I will be bringing a water sample with me to King Ed tomorrow and asking them to test it.
mind to list some stuff? may be useful for my upcomming project
I have at least 2 10s (maybe 3), a 4G, and I will have a 29G free in the nearish future. I'm just letting it's last inhabitants live out the last of their days.

try doing some big water changes and add salt
other than that..i m not sure what else you could do..
never had that problem with my goldfish in the past
is sw easier or harder to maintain? ive never had a sw tank before.
its harder than FW thats for sure.
and its a huge money pit
lights alone cost 200-1000 for a 3 feet tank like mine.
then if you want a sump.
you will need to drill your tank and make a DIY sump or buy one.
after that ! you need a skimmer. which runs around 200-1000 dollar again as well.
so far this week i ve been lucky buying the liverocks and livesand plus the livestock for cheap, but i just ordered my lights and skimmer etc is all in process.
btw forgot to mention,. you Have to buy liverock to grow beneficial bacteria in your tank. and you need .5-1 pound per gallon and its 10 dollar a pound. Livesand is optional.
never bit the bullet for those things plus flower horns.
aros are nice, but the little creatures in SW tank are amazing. everyone has their jobs and you will see mysis shrimp and other sea creatures come out of no where its fascinating
I have a 100 gallon tank that's been sitting in my garage for the past 20 years unused. I don't want it. If anyone would like it, you're more than welcome to come pick it up.
