Just to clarify - how long should I fast for before starting on veggies?

Thanks - I'll try fasting. Just a note - none of my fish are from the stores you mentioned. I'm in Australia and we don't have those stores. About a third of my fish are rescues from people who didn't look after them, including Goldie.

Thank you! I've been having trouble getting help via this forum, so really appreciate you responding. Did the fasting work for you? Goldie is very chipper and isn't acting sick. I had a mild panic the first night and thought about taking him to the vet in North Melbourne that treats fish, but...

Please help! Goldie has a bloated tummy. His tummy is soft to the touch and there is no pineconing. Goldie is fed NLS sinking pellets for breakfast, a defrosted fish dinner such as krill or blood worms for dinner and a veggie for supper. I'm really worried [emoji32]

Can you post a picture so I can help you out?

I think the main problem is your tank is too small and the fish are stressed and getting territorial. I had a similar problem with one of my fish, and as soon as I moved the group to a much larger tank, the issue immediately disappeared. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi there, I recommend the following, which help my goldfish: 1. Good quality sinking pellets such as New Life Spectrum. 2. Plus a range of other foods such as worms and frozen brine shrimps. 3. Deshelled/skinned peas. I give my fish peas as a bed time treat every night. It is their favourite...

Your fish might just happen to like that corner. Most of my goldfish have a favourite spot in the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
