I got a new fancy goldfish yesterday for my grandparents pond since I don't have any more room for any permanent fish. Poor guy, he was jammed in a 15 gallon tank with at least 10 other 4 inch fancy goldfish. When I got home I planned to treat him for any issues he might have. He is having a lot of trouble swimming correctly and is headstanding and floating often. I woke up to him floating on his back this morning, which I had honestly expected. My plan of action is cooked peas and then fasting for several days. If this doesn't work, what should I do next? I don't want to stress him too bad but I want him to be well enough for the pond.
And yes I know that fancies aren't really suited for ponds but this particular pond is really great and if any issues come up, I can just buy him a large tank.
