mawgui 1 Posted October 5, 2019 He is pretty quiet so far as I can see. Unfortunately, I can't attach an mp4 video but it isn't much different from this picture. (I had to take it from above because of the milky storage container sides.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arctic Mama 3,626 Posted October 5, 2019 Can you scoop him into your hand so I can see a side shot of his gills and under his chin, please? He actually looks better than I was expecting - has he shown any odd behavior that doesn’t just seem to be pouting during water changes? Did you other fish end up passing? I wasn’t clear from the other post. What has this orange fish been treated with over his life? Can you give me a brief history of him? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mawgui 1 Posted October 7, 2019 I'm sorry for the delay. I was hoping to get some help taking a pic of the goldfish that you requested - will need the extra pair of hands and will try again tomorrow! I have attached a picture of the surviving goldfish as best I was able to take it while doing the water change. When I disturb him, he swims rapidly and rather violently around the container, bouncing a bit into the walls. Then he goes pretty quiet. Usually, he keeps his face close to the plastic wall of his storage container. He does not show the interest in food that he used to. But he does appear to be eating some. He really does not have much of a history. He came from the pet store a couple years back and for the most part seemed really pretty happy for a goldfish. He and his companion were active and always swimming and loved to eat! The only treatments to which he has been subjected were incidental exposure to anti-algae stuff to try to keep the green stuff under control that liked growing in the aquarium. (Yes, I did follow the instructions on use.) Yes, the other fish passed away, looking rather bloated and bruised. He/she is now buried in the backyard "pet cemetery," I'm afraid. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
