Hi all,
I'm new to the forum & think it great! About 4 weeks ago added existing goldfish (Shaft), shubunkin (Spot) & blackmoor (Boggle) to new 95 litre tank. Settled in fine. Bought a new Blackmoor on Saturday & added him to tank (20 mins floating in bag, let existing water in 20 mins then emptied contents into tank......I know, I know.....won't do that next time!). New Blackmoor (Wobble.....named so because of funny swimming style) has been laying round on bottom of tank....he'll swim when provoked or for food (fancy fish pellets) but other than that sits there! Existing fish are fine....happy as ever. On Wednesday we did 40% water change, added general tonic & tape safe, moved ornaments and plants around to prevent territory grabbing by existing fish. Existing 3 happy as can be, Wobble = depressed. He does swim very jerkily! No obvious signs of injury or disease. Water quality seems ok & plants growing. Nitrite at 0.25 - any ideas please?
