I just bought six gouldians that are starting to go through thier adult molt. I have noticed that three of them have droopy tails and kind of liquid dropings. One has white specks on its feathers that are in the same spot everyday. They are very active and eat fine and are not fluffed. Can anyone give any advice on if there is anything wrong and what to do. I was going to order s76 and was wondering what else to order?
thanks for the help

Re: gouldian ?
Try some apple cider vinegar in the water first.
It just maybe stress and different food that's cousing the watery
droppings?
Put in one drop per ounce of water, make sue you get the good stuff
and make sure it's not pasturised.
Try this before you go to the heavier stuff like s76.
By all means order some, for future use.

Re: gouldian ?
What do you mean by this? White spots in the feathers or white spots on the feathers, as in mites? If you think it could be mites, I would get a mite spray and spray them.One has white specks on its feathers that are in the same spot everyday.

Re: gouldian ?
It is white specks on the feathers. I have looked real close at them and I don't know what it is. If it is mites wouldn't you be able to see them. If it is mites what is the best thing to use to get rid of them?
thanks
thanks
