I got my Gold Fish on the fourth of july at the fair, and He's always done well. I've had him in a bowl since I got him (I'm planning on moving him to a tank in the REALLY near future, I'm selling things to get the tanks) but recently he's lost some color and become very lazy. Earlier he was laying on the gravel. I do tend to over feed on accident, but I usually remove those extra flakes and the flakes he can't eat. I do water changes regularly and I make sure the new water isn't harmful with conditioner (I keep the water in a gallon jug and treat it so when I need it I have it) and He's next to a buddy. Could he be stressed? I'm not sure what's going on? Could the small enclosure be part of the problem? Like I said, he just recently started to lose color.
He does swim actively, but I was really worried about the discoloration and how he just laid on the ground. I love my animals and I want to get him out of that bowl ASAP, but I'd like to know what's wrong.
Please help!
