1st question...So about a week ago, Goldie (my goldfish) got stuck in the decoration in the tank and injured himself (scraped all the scales off the left side of his face and injured his fins pretty badly) Since then, he has been in the 20 gallon hospital tank healing up with daily doses of Melafix and medicated pellets. He is healing up wonderfully and is acting just like his normal self. His last dose of the melafix is tonight, and I was wondering when it would be alright to put him back in the other tank with his buddies. Should I wait until he is completely healed, or would it be fine to transfer him back when his 7 days of the melafix is up? ORRR... should I continue to dose him with the melafix until he is completely healed?
2nd... Skid my orange and black oranda has issues with constipation. I've tried the peas and whatnot and every couple days he seems to be floatin nose down in the middle of the tank until he is able to take a poo. He is the only one that has problems with it. They are currently on TetraFin Goldfish Crisps. Any suggestions on what I could do differently?
3rd... I am getting rid of my pleco from the goldfish tank. He's going to live in my friends 200 gallon tank. And I'd like to get some snails instead. What kind and how many would be good?
Annnnd... I think that is all of my questions for the moment.
I'll try to get some pictures of Goldie's face... if he'll show it to me. haha
He usually faces that side away from me.
