I'm on this to find out a problem that I'm having with my fish. My fish is a Red Cap Oranda, and I've had him for about 3 years, going on 4. He' been doing great and stuff. There are two problems that I've noticed.
1.) He seemed to have lost all of this reddish orange pigment in his cap and rest of his body. I've checked everything possible that might be wrong. There is another goldfish in there that has lost the same color. I thought that it was quite odd to see this considering I've never seen it before. Could anybody tell me if that's a serious problem? And what I can do to help it, if there is a reason? THe fish seem to be doing fine without the color.
2.) My second question is: My oranda lately has just been like doing nothing. He floats to the top, and he looks like he is about to die. Not belly up or anything like that. He tries to swim to the bottom but gets to tired and then floast back tothe top. I hope nothing is seriously long, but I got him when I went to college and wouldn't want anything to happen to him cause I'd like to keep him as long as possible. He eats, but has a hard time doing that. His side fins don't seem to work at all, if any.
I thank you all for your time for those who read this. I appreciate it!
