Guest fishella Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Have the fancy goldfish about a month now didn't notice until we got home that it was missing about a third of its scales mostly along the top ( little girl picked it(her?) because it(she?) was a lovely pearlescent white colour). Sparkles does not look sick and eats well... always first to catch the food. Will the scales grow back? anything I can to to help?. If they don't grow back is she susceptible to disease?

Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 30, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 30, 2010 Can you post a picture maybe? I'm thinking it's likey the scales in those areas are just matte and not really missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted November 30, 2010 Admin Share Posted November 30, 2010 Scales always grow back if the water is clean. Though alot of the time they dont come back the same way they were before 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member whitner Posted December 1, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted December 1, 2010 They'll grow back. But they won't have the same shine to them, they'll be very dull and flat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
