Google Goldfish Diseases.

There seems to be a wealth of information there.

I have kept goldfish and tropical fish and if your fish has any sign of fin rot or fungus make a very weak solution of potasium permanganate in some water (Turn the water pink) and put the fish in it until it shows signs of discomfort (maybe 20 minutes). This is very much a kill or cure method and I had a 50% cure rate.
If your fish are good friends find a good fish doctor.

To diagnose this complex problem we need to answer the question…

“Are they floating or have they sunk to the bottom?”

…and the answer in both cases is: They’re dead! 8)

no its not fin rot... heit justs tarted as him swimming around like a maniac, even hitting the aquariums walls and jumoing out of the water. Now he just lays on the bottom, and lets the current take him. Like almost dead. Hes also losing scales.

I know two excellent vets in Limassol. They are father & son.

Names are Athos and Harri.

Tel 25 366302.

Tel 99 436303.

Not sure if they have much experience with fish but might be worth giving them a ring. I've always found them to be more than helpful.
