Hi everyone!! I have a beautiful Oranda Goldfish and he is doing a lot of resting in the same spot at the bottom of the tank. He gets up every few minutes to munch on some plants and swim around, then goes straight back. He recently lost his best friend in an ammonia spike and I did some reading that said maybe he was both lonely and stressed from the shock he experienced during the ammonia spike. He also isn’t eating the flakes I feed the other fish in my tank and when I try and feed him peas he just swims away; he doesn’t like to be hand fed. I’m considering getting him another Oranda as a friend but I’m not sure. What should I do??
