Well obviously i dont want to increase waste in my aqaurium, its just that have a single goldfish in there now i just thought it'd be nice to have something else in the tank. Also they would be helpful with algae control a bit

What about snails?

Alright, thanks. From the guide my tank right now is fine for my one goldfish so instead of other goldfish are there any other tankmates you think i could add without having to get larger tank?

There 1 fish hes been alone for a while now so i thought i should get him a friend

20 gallons

Unfortunately the fish passed away 2 days ago, i was treating it in a seperate tank with a anti fin rot treatment the store recommended and doing daily water changes but seems like it didnt work Also could u send me a link of a good HOB filter so i make sure i get the right one.

A tank slightly above 20gals. I had to crop the image as the file size was too big

Over the past week my pearscales tail has began to wither away. I tried increasing the tank temperature a little and also water changes every other day but he is showing no signs of improvement. Does anyone know what the best way to help him is?

I was doing a wster change and i spotted this little thing hanging on a new moss ball i recently bought. I was wondering if anyone knew what is was.

"Barry" i named him, i doing great! His eyes are still dramitically different but seems to not have affected him at all, and wow his tail has grown huge!

As he grows will his eyes even out of is he just going to have the abnormality forever?

bump

When i originally bought they fish i cant remember noticing the large eye, as soon as i got home i realised. so i doubt in the space of a 20 minute car joruney that this occured. Im pretty sure he is a telescope so maybe his small eye is the issue xD. So do you think i should go through the process of quarentine or just leave him for now if there is no popeye?

If i added small quantities of salt to my tank would it stress my other healthy fish? Also ive noticed he was chasing the little fish around a lot however i thought they were playing to solve this I removed 2 of the fish from the tank so now there are only 2 fish which are similar-ish size so hopefully there isnt bullying issues i didnt realise goldfish could be so aggresive/teratorrial. Also if he does heal will the large eye shrink or just remain the same?
