Hi, my friend has a gold and white fintail and has had him for about a month and a half. Last week he noticed the fish was acting goofy. He was moving slow and would swim a little then just sink. A couple days later he was cool again.

Well today he calls me up and says that the fish is almost all black. I'm looking at him now and his head and body look like they are covered in a black residue. He is in a little bowl right now so we can get a good look at him. He also has a koi, and 3 conkers that all look fine. He's been doing bi weekly water changes and using microbe lift pl.

The pond is around 80 gallons and he has a Laguna pump. He don't remember how many gph but it was over 300. We built a Bio filter out of a 5 gallon bucket. We don't have any test strips but we will post a pic of the fish once we find a good container and results of the strips.

Thanks for the help!
