    Help me to confirm the goldfish breed

    Yesterday my friend bought a gold fish from nearest pet shop and the store guy sold it as a comet but this one seems like Shubunkin for me. Me and my friend keep arguing about that today. Somebody please confirm the breed.

    Open Abscess on Goldfish

    Around 5 years ago I rescued these 3 goldfish. They were super tiny, and in that time Iā€™ve upgraded them from a 2 gallon tank, to 10, 29, and now 60. Iā€™m running a Fluval fx4 on the tank. I do weekly or large bi-weekly water changes. I always considered them to be thriving as they continue to...

    Goldfish ich?

    Hi all, I have a common comet goldfish that my sister brought home from a fair who is about a year old. He grew up in my 20 gallon and then moved to my dad's 60 about ten months ago, and he has been doing fine. However I noticed he is kind of less energetic lately, and I think he has ich. His...

    Any idea what this is?

    Hi guys. I have a 4.5 year old goldfish and just noticed this weird spot on his side. Iā€™m having a hard time telling what it is. My first thought was he just injured a scale but the more I look at it the more Iā€™m not so sure. Is it a cut? Infected? A parasite? A tumor? How do I find out? Heā€™s...

    My Goldfish

    I bought this tank & light for $50, I am trusting this home will be enough for at least a year before needing larger quarters. This is a 40-45 gallon tank. I regimes goldfish from 2 gallon tank, previously in a cut crystal bowl of 1 gallon.

    LUMP ON GOLDFISH HEAD

    Hello, My fish has a large lump on the top of its head. It seems to be clear except for red close to the head. Behavior is normal. Its underbelly is becoming white as well. Is it serious? Is it something I can do anything abut? Thank you. :)

    Three months in.

    Hello to all reading this thread, I am a novice to both forum posting and aquariums. I did look after a fish tank for a short time 20 years ago but that was pretty simple, feeding & maintenance. Wanting a pair of Betta fish for his birthday this year, we went to our local aquarium supplier...

    Which tank

    Hi Iā€™m completely new to this hobby. My son has asked for 2 goldfish, which Iā€™m happy for him to have but I want to do it properly. Could anyone suggest a tank. We went to look yesterday and saw the Ciano Aqua 30 led, which is 25lts. Would this be ok or too small? I donā€™t want anything to...

    Hello all, Long story short, after battling an anchor worm infestation for 3 weeks all of my goldfish have passed away. I drained the tank and my canister filter but how long should I wait until I add new stock to restart my tank? I know anchor worms are parasites and cant live without a...

    Fancy Goldfish Poo

    Hi, I have had my two pearlscale goldfish in my 120 litre tank for about 6 months now, and I just cannot get the filters to collect the poo. The problem is with fancy goldfish is that they cant swim well, so heavy flow is not possible as they would not be able to swim against it. I already have...

    Pin holes and white spot on black moor

    I purchased a black moor 6 days ago from my local PetSmart to add to my oranda tank, but as I got home from the store I noticed many holes in her fins. I decided to quarantine her and treat with pimafix and melafix. After 6 days I have noticed no changes in the holes on her fins, and the other...

    Fantail Goldfish in 10 Gallon Tank

    Firsty I know that a 10 Gallon tank is way too small for a fully grown Fantail. My question is, if I provided proper filtration (undergravel filter, cannister, and frequent pwc) how long could a Fantail (purchased around 1ā€) thrive in 10 gallons before the small size would stunt its growth? How...
