okay on netting out 90% of my gold fish from our pond to clean it :) and to see what we have, we come across something that was quite disturbing, i have no idea why happened to this little fella but i can only assume he has been eaten by the larger or bigger fish but i have rescued him, but he is a piece flacking of form his head his back fin is shredded beyond repair i think and he is not moving but he is breathing and moving his two front fins, he is on his side kinda, not moving tho, i hope i can save him, i haven't got much for him at the moment other than a glass he is only about the size of a 2pound coin in length tiny tiny little thing is is possible to save this little fella?
 
no i shall get a photo of him he is still alive and he has been upgraded to a tupaware box as he started to wiggle a bit especially when i put stress coat in I'm going to try and feed him see if he likes our indoor goldfish food
 
okay i have some pictures here :) i hope he can survive lasted longer than i had thought so far :) so my fingers are crossed for him, not sure if you can see the hole on top of his head it is quite bad but he is moving more now not allot but he's moving thats the main thing :)

when i first put him into the cup and then the box he was unable to keep him self upright but now he is fully upright and even when i did a water change on him he did not flip upside down so i hope he is on the road to recovery all info and help much appreciated, ooh i also put some goldfish anti fin rot and anti fungi treatment into the water for him :)

:hyper: omg this little guy it still alive starting to swim more when he gets scared :) i think he may pull through be so cool if he does :)

my only worry is he is not eating, the family never fed the fish tank food so i don't know what this little guy will eat I've tried goldfish flake and i thought i shall try giving him some bloodworm but he didn't take to that so i have no idea, how long will a baby fish this small last without food?
 
OMG i so forgot about this YES he is the little guy is amazing haha, i am so shocked, he lost all of his rear tail fin a few days after i took those pictures but he then started swimming around LOADS so i moved him into a bigger tub :D so he had more room to swim in i then w8ed a week and put him in a smallish bi-orb and i have gone away now so when i get back and when he grows a little bigger we shall move him into the gold fish tank we have i put 2 bigger fish of the same kind in there :) they are doing fine but this guy was to small and we have a few HUGE fully grown in there and well i thought he may have been sucked up he's that small haha
