    Butterfly Goldfish

    I bought an orange butterfly goldfish recently, and I noticed after a few days that he tends to lean to one side at times. I haven't been observing him for very long, as I just noticed it, but he'll swim fine one second, and the next be floating sideways at the top of the tank. I think it might...

    Deformed Fantail Goldfish

    I've been trying to get as much advice as I can about this problem. I rescue some goldfish in May and have had them going strong since I got them. One of them is a fantail with a deformed mouth. He's been having swim bladder issues since day one but has been going strong up until now. It seems...

    Goldfish Rescue Advice?

    Hello, all.   A friend of mine has a comet in a 2 gallon tank and she would like to get rid of it.  I offered to take it, but wanted some advice on moving it.  The water in the tank hasn't been changed in quite a while, but the fish seems to be healthy so evidently the beneficial bacteria are...

    Video My Planted Community Tank That Should Not Work.

    So I have been keeping fish since 1998. I have had lots of fish over the years. I know the rules but this tank breaks many of the rules. I don't think this tank will work for everyone or everyones fish.    So here is the thing. I had this as a discus tank for 5 years. I now only have one discus...

    Help! Whit Bumps On Goldfish

    Hi I have had a half barrel pond in my garden for about 8 months and added 3 goldfish to it about 3/4 weeks ago. I noticed one had white bumps on its fin when I put it in, but thought this was just part of its markings. These have now spread and the other 2 goldfish have them too, mainly on...

    Will My Sand Settle?

    Hello!   So we've been cycling our 55 gallon cool-water tank for a little over a month. It finally seemed good- every thing settled, water was clear, we had some healthy bacteria going on and 6 very happy little zebra danios. They would stir up sand and it would immediately settle...so I figured...

    Hi,   my girlfriend's black moor, Sinead, has been acting a little weird about 4 days now. She first suspected that she had fungus due to a white fuzzy ball in the fish's torsal (?) fin, she used treatment for fungus and the fuzzy ball disappeared. Then when she was changing the water of the...

    How Smart Are Fish?

    I thought this was an interesting article about goldfish. We often think of betta and puffers as being "smart" fish due to their behavioral responses to outside stimuli but goldfish often get a bad rap. Long has the myth of their short memory been disproved but yet it persists.   From the...
