Aquarium Advice Apprentice
The other week, I had a comet goldfish go missing for several days. I eventually found him in the pond pump. His tail was mostly gone, but otherwise he seemed (relatively, considering his ordeal) ok. Today, I saw him sitting in one of the potted plants I have, not moving (although breathing) kind of tail up, head down. The only other fish I've seen do this usually didn't last long after that.
I separated him into a bucket and he seems to be swimming around and alert. So I guess my questions are, do fish "rest" by sitting in plants often? And what should I do about his missing fin (80% missing). Will it grow back? Should I keep it in a quarantine tank? Are there meds for such a thing?
