our new fish might have dropsy and parasites. he is QT with our other new goldfish which are doing great. but the new one has a whitish/grey film over him and it looks like his scales are starting to stick out. and he just sits on the bottom most of the time.

HELP. we dont want to loose him.

Hang in there. What are your water parameters right now? How long has it been under quarantine? Do you have pictures of the white areas?

how big would you say a baby should be before being put in with 6" single tails?

If you can guarantee it gets its fair share of food, I'd say 4 inches will work. Single tails are feistier.

I've added 2 to 2.5 inch comets and wakins in with my 10 inch comets with no problems and no signs of aggression. As long as the new babes aren't mouth size and you don't have a particularly aggressive fish in the tank, it should be okay.
