Ah, I don't own a functioning camera, so I can't really take a new picture of him. :( (I do have some older pictures I took to show how his eyes are, and they haven't really changed much since those were taken.) I could just draw how his fins are for now, I guess. lol The parameters are: PH...

My Goldfish (a common one, not fancy), has developed some tearing in his fins. His dorsal fin was the first one I noticed with a little tear in it, then 2 days after that, one of his pectoral fins got a long tear in it. (It's split in half, almost all the way) His tail fin seems to be having...

My Goldfish has had both his eyes bulging abnormally for quite a few months now. He's in a 10 gallon tank (Too small, I know. But I'm doing water changes everyday until I can get a 20 or 30 gallon tank.) I treated him with Maracyn-Two in June, then Maracyn-one in July. I didn't change the...

Is there anywhere I can get Medi-Gold from in Canada, or any website that carries it and ships to Canada? The Goldfish Connection said is doesn't ship outside of the US and Singapore, and I believe Fishsempai doesn't sell it to Canada anymore. My little fishy really needs this stuff ASAP...

Since it has tests for all of those, I think that's the one I'll get. :) I thought they were in the $100 range, so $35 is definitely reasonable. lol Thank you very much for all the help! :D

I'll have to get him some fruit and veggies for him then. :) I'm afraid if I give him fruit, he won't eat the veggies. lol I have an air stone in there with him. I plan to get a water tester the next time I go to Petsmart (which should be fairly soon). Are any testers better than others, and...

One odd thing he does that I noticed is that he swims up to the top of the water, and it looks like he keeps trying to eat something that isn't there... O_o Don't know if that's a symptom of something or just him being strange.

Oh, that's great! I'll try to get some of that medicated food for him. Does it go bad after a while? I didn't know fish could eat fruits and vegetables... That's so cute! :D Would I just leave the vegetables/fruits in the tank for him to nibble on until the next day?

He doesn't have any red one him whatsoever, and his fins look normal. No fraying, rot, or discoloration. He's not bloated, and his scales are all flat. He always goes nuts for food when it's feeding time, so he's still got quite an appetite, and he's still swimming around a lot. I feed him...

Is there any medication you know of that will correct his eyes?

Oh, okay. I didn't know you could just put dechlorinator in the tank THEN add tap water. That's great to know! :D Will the water changing help fix his eyes, you think? I'm so scared of them popping out of his poor little head. :(

Would the constant water changing stress him out? The way I've changed the water somewhat before is because I kept having trouble starting up my gravel vacuum, so it sucked up a lot of the water... And I only have one pitcher to fill with water for him, and I'm worried that if I keep adding...

I have a 10 gallon tank with an air stone, heater, and filter. I changed some of the water about a week ago while vacuuming the gravel, then filled it back up with tap water I de-chlorinated. Since I don't have a water quality tester (I plan to get one eventually), would it be okay just to use...

First off, I'm not an expert in fish. I know very little about them. I didn't go out and get a fish for the sake of having one, (I only would've done that if I had knowledge about taking care of them first), but my Dad passed away, and he owned this goldfish (Lincoln). So, I kind of had no...
