Regular Member adnan Posted February 22 Regular Member Share Posted February 22 Hello Mel! It sounds like your goldfish has some internal health problems. Here I only can recommend you 50% waters change every 2 -3 days. I am not very good to make correct diagnoses of sick goldfish but I will text Koko about your case. She definitely will give you some correct directions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
