adnan 597 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
