Regular Member Nick Posted October 25, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hello, im 13 im new to keeping fish, i have a 2 foot tank and 4 goldfish (2 comets). One of my comets is fairly dumb.. he stares at the food for like 5 seconds before he reacts and goes for the food. By the time he gets there, the food has already been eaten. Should i put him into a bucket when im feeding him, so im sure he will eat, or do you think he will be ok? Thnx ~Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Incandisco Posted October 26, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2003 Comets are one of the fastest of the goldfish family - there should be no problem with him getting to the food once he's seen it. I wouldn't take him out just to feed him in a bucket and then put him back, as this will cause stress to the fish. However, if you have a quarantine tank or nnnnnn tub with filter and airstone, you might want to seperate him for a few days to make sure he is feeding properly. How long have you had this fish? I mean, if he's been like this for months, or even years, then he must be getting his food & nutrition from somewhere. Keep an eye on him, and see if he eats all the stuff that falls to the bottom.
