Goldfish Care – Types of Goldfish Diseases

Goldfish are susceptible to diseases and here I will discuss the different types of goldfish diseases that fish can develop. Goldfish usually develop diseases or sickness largely due to lack of maintenance on the aquarium. They sometimes can develop them due to injury they suffered by scraping off the protective slime coating that goldfish have on their skin.

Here are the different types of goldfish diseases and illness.

1. White spot disease or ich (Ichtyopthirius)
2. Velvet disease
3. Anchor Worm
4. Argulus
5. Fin and Tail Rot
6. Ulcers
7. Cloudy Eye
8. Mouth Rot
9. KHV Virus

Can Goldfish Die From Anchor Worms?

Quick answer, YES! Goldfish can die from anchor worms if left untreated. If you notice that your goldfish has anchor worms attached to their body, you need to begin treatment. There are many fish medications on the market today used to treat against anchor worms on goldfish. I like using this Anchor Worm Treatment called Anchors Away.

 I’ve been using this for years at my business, Country Koi Fish Farm, and this fish medication for anchor worms works great!

What will happen if you don’t treat your goldfish right away for anchor worms, is your goldfish will develop bacterial infections. This is what will kill your goldfish.

Do yourself a favour and always observe your goldfish at feeding time for any signs of goldfish illnesses, diseases or parasites. If you notice an issue seek advice from your local pet store or any online resources about goldfish care. The quicker you begin treatments the better chances you have of success!

Anchor worms is easily treatable for goldfish, act quick and you’ll see for yourself how quickly you get rid of anchor worms.

Do Goldfish Float To The Top Of Fish Tank When They Die?

When goldfish die in your aquarium they do indeed float to the top of the water. Do goldfish float to the top right away? No. You’ll usually find a goldfish that has died lying at the bottom of your fish tank. If you leave goldfish that died in your fish tank for a long period of time they will float to the top due to the body decomposing producing gas internally.

Dead Goldfish Float To Top of The Water In AquariumsWhenever you notice a dead goldfish in your aquarium remove them right away. If you don’t this can cause poor water quality and your other goldfish could get sick with fish diseases and parasites. Remove any dead goldfish in your aquarium right away to keep your fish tank healthy and disease free.

Test Your Water Quality In Aquariums Often - Water Test Kits Will Save Your Fish Life

****If you ever find any dead goldfish in your aquarium investigate and find out why they died. These are your warning signs that something is wrong. If you don’t react and have other goldfish in your tank they could be in danger of dying. Test your water quality in your aquarium right away to prevent any other deaths from occurring. One dead goldfish could mean more. ****
