Oscars..... And koi...... I think my brain just broke trying to figure out how that works.

It has not always been like this. It happened at some point, but hasn't really gotten worse at all. Its also hasn't gotten any better. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do.

My oranda seems like he may have a broken tail. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but a lot of the time, it just seems to hang limp behind him. Any ideas? He seems to have some trouble swimming and my moor has been picking on him a bit. Thanks guys!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that giggled at that.

I'm an artist! Woohoo!

I had mystery snails with my Goldies and it works out well, as long as the snails are large. In terms of clean up though, mystery snails poop A LOT. I wouldn't say that they cleaned the tank at all, but they're sure cute to look at!

She's looking great! On the road to recovery, for sure. What a trooper!

Welcome! I'd love to see pictures, I love fancy goldies too!

There's a sticky in the unhealthy fish section that provides detailed ways for humane euthanasia. If you choose the freezer option, make sure to put the tank water in the freezer for a while BEFORE you put the fish in. Using a little salt in the water will lower freezing temps and make the...
