Maintaining pristine water quality via filtration and regular partial water changes is the best way to prevent illness. Change no more than 30% of tank volume at a time. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Goldfish are cold water fish and do best between 65 F and 72 F. Confirm the filter is rated for at least twice the volume of the tank. To prevent illness or infection, always quarantine new fish for 2-4 weeks prior to introducing to the main tank. You can use plain aquarium salt (NOT table or Epsom salt) as a general tonic to reduce stress, improve gill function, treat minor infection and aid in recovery when needed. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons of water in a cup or two of tank water and gently pour it into the tank. Treat for no more than 14 days at a time. Perform partial water changes afterwards to decrease salinity.
