Best Answer

I would consider daily water changes from 25-50%. This can help cycle the tank and possibly take care of the ammonia. Another thought would be, is to isolate the certain fish with the burn and treat it with medication specific to ammonia burns.

Also if the fish is new, the burns might be from the pet stores tanks.

Hope this helps!

My goldfish turned black and just died what happened to it?

When fish turn black, it means that their body has been harmed with too much ammonia. Ammonia to fish is like acid to human skin. The black you might be talking about is called ammonia burn, which makes the fish scales black. My comet goldfish has been through that before, although it lived. Nearly the whole body was black besides the core stomach area. If a fish has too much ammonia in it's water, it might die, because high ammonia levels are not good for fish, as well as it will make the fish black im the same person who asked the question. How does ammonia get into the water. From tap water?
