I hate having to bug you like this again, because I'm sure you are busy. But there is something wrong with my goldfish that I simply can't figure out. Just these past couple of days my 3 year old goldfish, Goldeen, has been acting incredibly different and not good. Yesterday she was practically drifting around the whole tank and would barely eat at all. I've switched to Metro Med goldfish food so what she does eat is more packed full of nutrients but as stated earlier, she barely eats. Her dorsal fin is down most of the time and she acts very tired and rests a lot.
I don't see any physical signs of distress on her whatsoever. There are no lumps, swellings, or protrusions. Her fins look perfectly fine and she has no open wounds. The only thing that might seem abnormal (and admittedly I'm not sure if she was like this before or not) is a very small "dent" on her spine between her dorsal fin and head.
The tank is a 55 gallon with currently 4 total goldfish in there. There was a 5th one but he's been in quarantine for a couple of weeks due to internal parasites. However, he's back in tip top shape now and will be reintroduced shortly.
Here are the 55 gallons parameters:
pH: 7.6
Ammonia: o - 0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0.0
Nitrate: 0.0
As you can see the water conditions are very good.
I have no idea what's wrong with her but I really don't want to lose her. I don't even know what kind of medications to use because I have no clue what's going on. Also, she is a Comet if that matters.
