Ok so the day befor yesterday as soon as I got home from work I realized that my female fantail goldfish was stuck in an ornament in my fish tank I got her out as carefully as I could, her tail fin was ripped really bad and the scales by her gills were hurt really badly too I had no idea what to do about this so asked on another thread and was told to just let her be and keep the water really clean. I checked the water and everything was perfect so I was going to wait another day or two before I did a pcw. Yesterday tho I was browsing the Web and decided that today when I got up I was going to set up a hospital tank and treat her with melafix, this morning tho when I got up to my horror she was dead. I took her out and put her in a cup untill I could bury her and ever since then my male black moore has been pacing back and forth around the area where I found her. This is not like him at all hes usually is all around the bottom of the tank being hungry and looking for food constantly. I tried feeding him his favorite pallets and he wouldn't even go near them. has anyone ever heard of goldfish acting like this and what do I do? They have been together for almost 2 years, is he as sad about her death as I am? Or is he just used to another fish and being alone is wierd. I thought goldfish were supposed to only have a like 5second memory. Any advice on this is very appreciated I just dont know what to do.
