Add 1 drop for each two gallons of water. So, for example, if you have a 10-gallon aquarium, add 5 drops of Quick Cure each day until the ich spots go away on the Swordtail.

In step 6 below it says to increase the water temperature in a warm water aquarium, like yours, to 82 degrees. The water in your aquarium is now at 82 degrees, so you don't need to increase the temperature.

Even so your fish is difficult to diagnose by email. On the one hand Goldfish develop more veins and arteries in their fins, as they grow older, and we have talked with many inexperienced Goldfish owners, who are overly concerned about redness in their fish's fins that is completely normal.

On the other hand redness and lack of energy are Signs of Stress and Disease. So the question is, "Are your fish's symptoms normal or Signs of Stress and Disease?"

First you should check your Goldfish for other Signs of Stress and Disease. Click here for more information about Signs of Stress and Disease. In particular look for sign "#1 Clamped Fins" in your Goldfish.

The "Squigglies" in your aquarium are probably planaria, which are harmless in themselves, but they indicate your aquarium has uneaten food, which could be causing problems for your fish. Click here for more information about planaria.

Here some simple things you can do that will help your Goldfish and have very little probability of harming it.

Do all six steps of the Recommended Treatment that are given on this page.

Goldfish can tolerate lots of Quick Cure so give your fish the full dose every day for several days. Be sure to add Aquarium Salt as recommended.

Look at step 6 of the Recommended Treatment, which is raising the temperature of the water. Goldfish are cold water fish, even so, if the temperature of your Goldfish's water is 74 degrees F. or less, it will be beneficial to raise the temperature of the water by 4 degrees for 3 or 4 days, and then let return to the normal temperature for 3 or 4 days. Repeat this fluctuating temperature, until your fish has recovered.

Remove and replace 20% of the water every day with tap water from the faucet. After six of these 20% partial water changes, most of the aquarium salt will be gone from the water in your aquarium, and you should add one Tablespoon of Aquarium Salt for each five gallons of water in your aquarium.

Finally, it would help if you could get someone with more experience to look at your Goldfish. Where do you find such a person? Ask at your local fish store. Try to find a local fish club or Goldfish club. Look in the yellow pages for Pond or Aquarium Maintenance. Call and ask for help. Try to find someone who will come and look at your fish, but do not bag your fish and haul it around.
