Maybe you're right that 30 gallons is enough for two goldfish, possibly even with the dojo loach, but i tend to argue in favor of more space when i think it's sorta questionable. My rainbow tank is already bordering on the edge of over crowdedness and they aren't even full grown yet, so it's kind of a case of "do as i say...."

20gal for the 1st goldies and add 10 gal for each one after, so a 30gal is no probs for 2 fancy goldies. Unfamiliar with the dojo, but as long as it doesnt grow too big it should ok too. I wouldnt be adding anything else to the tank though

I personally am not a fan of salt use in freshwater tanks. So for me i would use a store bought medication. Simple to use, simple to remove when treatment is over.

Yeah, i've always been a bit skeptical of salt as well. I never use it.

Ich go buy non carbon filters and cut into piece to place into your filtrationb and then go buy malefix add 5ml per 10 gallons for 7 days then do 50 -75 percent water change and keep temp up near mid 70 to 80 i know ur goldfish wont be happy being as there cold water but its the best way to ward of the free swiming ich and the lil specs of white u c
