FISH DISEASES 
In speaking of fish diseases, it 
is well to mention that if the 
proper steps are taken to prevent 
them, very little, if any, trouble 
can be expected with fish diseases 
in a goldfish pool. Once a pool is 
established, it is very seldom that 
the fish get sick unless, of course, 
you clean the pool and put the 
fish back in fresh water. There is 
usually too much chlorine gas in 
fresh water. 
CHLORINE GAS 
So, before you put the fish in 
fresh water, be sure that you 
treat this water with Clorout, the 
chemical which changes the chlo- 
rine gas into a friendly salt. The 
fish can be placed in such a poola 
few minutes after it has been 
treated. Complete directions 
come with this chemical. On the 
average, for a large pool, very 
seldom more than 1 pound of 
Clorout is needed. For a pool 
about 4 feet long, the 4-ounce 
bottle will be sufficient. 
FUNGUS 
Fungus is a very common gold- 
fish disease. It can be started by 
putting new fish in the _ pool 
which have come in by express 
and have been roughly handled. 
It is a good idea to use some of 
the Special Pool Remedy when 
you put additional fish in a pool. 
Put a tablespoonful of this in the 
pool when adding new fish in or- 
der to prevent the fungus dis- 
eases from getting started. You 
ean recognize fungus very easy. 
It is a cotton-like growth on the 
body and fins of the fish. The Pool 
Remedy as well as the Fungus 
Powder will take care of this dis- 
ease if properly used according to 
directions. 
MOUTH FUNGUS 
Mouth fungus or cotton mouth 
is another disease that gets its 
start when fish are handled, and 
Beldt’s Fungus Powder 
A tonic to be used for sick as 
well as healthy fish. Its main 
purpose is to create pure water 
conditions and keep aquariums 
free from diseases. It is a rem- 
edy for sick fish, and a good tonic 
for well fish. It is greatly advis- 
able to use this tonie when start- 
ing new aquariums. Complete

they run against the side of the 
Shipping containers, or if you 
place them in your own contain- 
ers when cleaning out your pool. 
The Fungus Cure listed on this 
page with the acraflavine content 
is the best for mouth fungus and 
comes complete with directions. 
TAIL ROT 
Tail rot is caused more by in- 
jury to the fins and tails of the 
fish. If it once gets started, it is 
contagious, It requires the same 
treatment as fungus. Sometimes 
the tails keep rotting off until 
there is hardly any part of the 
tail left, but if properly treated 
the tails will grow back on. 
ICHTHYOPTHIRIUS 
Commonly known as Ich or 
White Spots. Tropical fish are 
more affected by this disease as a 
rule than goldfish, but for treating 
your goldfish for White Spots use 
the Pool Remedy, the same as 
prescribed for fungus. When us- 
ing any of the various treatments 
on goldfish, a small amount of 
Turks Island Salt, which is pure 
evaporated sea salt, is found very 
beneficial if added to the pool. 
About a pound for each 100 gal- 
lons is sufficient. Regular house- 
hold salt may also be used. 
ANCHOR WORMS 
Anchor worms are actually 
parasites that anchor themselves 
into the skin of the fish. Short, 
threadlike, protruding creatures 
which grow about one-half-inch 
long, can be seen on the fish. 
They can be removed with tweez- 
ers, but once a pool becomes in- 
fested, it is best to use the Pool 
Remedy. For anchor worms, it 
should be used full strength and 
you may have to give it two or 
three applications if the first one 
has not been very effective. 
FISH LICE 
If you get fish lice started ina 
pool they can be a great source of 
annoyance, inasmuch as they are 
hard to get rid of. We have found 
that the hardy Gambusia fish, 
which are native in Missouri and 
Illinois, will eliminate these fish 
lice because they eat them. After

rine gas in order to purify it for 
human consumption.

INDICATION OF SICKNESS 
There are various points which 
indicate whether your fish are 
sick or healthy. It is easy enough 
to see fungus and white spots on 
the fish. Usually when goldfish 
are sick they keep their fins
