Guest zena Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Golffish Goddess, I give him a little piece of a flake. He eats a flake ,Iguess, and has no droppings as far as I can see. Maybe he got constapation,not sure.Zena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LaurieP Posted July 9, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 How often do you feed him? And is it only 1 flake? Sometimes we don't see gf waste, it falls to the bottom or they "mush" it by trying to eat it. HOw is the fish acting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zena Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Gold Ryu, I was wondering how long it takes a fancy to unstressed,it's seems very timid. zena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Gold Ryu Posted July 9, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 It depends on the fish.Some are fast at adapting to its surroundings.You can help by buying something like Stresscoat.It helps.Just make sure it doesn't have any negative effects like removing the bacteria goldfish need.
