Hi all!
So about two weeks ago I was doing my regular water change and cleaning on my goldfish tank and one of my Goldie's swam against the algae scrubber and scraped some scales off. I've been keeping the water clean and keeping an eye on her. No blood or red spots ever appeared just looks normal just a bare spot where the scales used to be (she's white so it's just a dull white patch nothing fuzzy) I was just wondering if her scales will ever grow back? And if so how long will it take? I used some medicine (can't remember if it was melafix but pretty sure it was) by API for open sores, fin rot, and bacterial infections for a week and stopped.
They just got moved into a 29 gallon acrylic tank which is an improvement from the temporary 15 gallon glass tank which brings me to my next question. I know acrylic bows a bit but was just wondering if some crazing near the bowing is normal and to be expected also? It's only a little bit and probably only noticeable to me because I am so paranoid when it comes to my tanks. This is my first acrylic tank and I got it solely because they are supposed to be stronger and less likely to leak, crack, burst, etc. it's a regular 29 gallon fr seaclear and has been set up and running since Friday.
Sorry it's such a long post any feedback is most appreciated!
