Goldfish are cold blooded...
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/214268.html they don't need a heater and since you treated with .5% salt and yellow powder...just stay the course for 5 days...if water dirty do partial water change but maintain the .5% salt treatment with yellow powder. No feeding during treatment and by the 3rd day of treatment if fish recovering they will start swimming and looking for food. On 4th day, test feed if they start swimming and if eating, after 5th day can do 100% water change. Hope this help...please take heater out and try keep water cool...room temp will do. From look fish not that sick and sometimes a salt dip and 100% water change will do. |
