The importance of a major water change before treatment
When you're treating your goldfish aquarium for flukes, lice, anchor worm, bacterial infections or any other goldfish health problem with a water treatment, it's very important that you do a major water change of up to 90%. The main reason for this water change is to increase the oxygen in your goldfish aquarium. Plus, a major water change will decrease the pollutants in your goldfish aquarium. A major water change will also decrease the food for the organisms that cause diseases and reduce any pathogens floating in your goldfish aquarium.
