Once a friendly and lively fish is now hiding and scared of me...She mostly hides under a log during the day and only comes out to eat. Male was removed from the tank two weeks ago to treat a fungal infection.

Did you recently move around anything inside or outside of the tank?

Could be she misses the male.

Aren't goldfish semisocial? I would think that is the problem as well.

Lord knows mine aren't LOL. As soon as my hands are in the tank,they all rub against my hand, I swear they want to be petted! You mean to tell me that isn't normal? LOL, I have even got nutty fish!

That is what I meant. They like other goldfish around. They are happier in groups. By the way i am not infer your hand is a goldfish.

Generally she swims to me and gets in my hand when cleaning and feeding...now when she sees me she hides. Wierd
Maybe she is mad a me for removing the male. He has a few more days in quaranteen then he can go back home.

My bet is when he is back in the tank she will return to normal.
