My goldfish has nitrite poisoning. What's the best way to treat it?

Question

how to cure nitrite poisoning in my goldfish. Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male | unneutered

Dr. Massimo Orioles, DVM, Cert AVP, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

I would recommend to measure level of nitrites first to have a baseline value. Then start to change water, add salt (chlorine salt- half ounce of salt per gallon) and reduce feeding. Keep checking nitrites and ammonia daily until they are back to zero. Any secondary disease (like bacterial infection -fin rot) should be treated. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
