Hi there,
I have come to the conclusion that my almost 6 year old goldfish is possibly depressed. He/she is approximately 10” long to tail a about 2.5 inches thick? And he is living in a pretty big tank 3ft by 1.5 ish size don’t recall the gallons. He eats well (is always hungry, he is a goldfish after all, I feed him twice a day) but more often than not he is sitting close to the bottom of the tank in the far corner (sad). I was thinking maybe he is lonely or bored, but I am concerned about getting him a tank mate because they would be so small by comparison. I got him as a 10 cent feeder fish...
he has two filters and a bubbler. Tunnel he’s too big for and three “plants”. Does anyone have any advice? I almost wonder if I should find him someone with their own gold fish pond so he can have real space, but I don’t know ?
Thanks for your time,
M
