Brother gave me Oranda Gold Fish

Goldfish, Oranda, cute

March 2, 2019 2:18am CST
Two nights ago my brother and mom went to our relatives passing. But when he got here, he surprised me with this gold fish. Then he asked me if I can treat it, it was timing because I was treating my fish. It wasn't looking healthy as if the scales color were fading. It was bullied at first but later they started leaving it alone. Now I need another light for them since I gave the other one to my mollies. But I gave it a try with a flourescent lamp and they were scared and running on all sides. How are you doing? What are you doing? Have a nice day

Hello @Janet357 If I am more meticulous it would probably be 15 years. But with the one I have I would assume three years, but that depends.

@Letranknight2015 oh, just like a dog! I thought it was just a few months.

@Janet357 That's base on my research. with the kois they could last at least 200 years.

Hello @crossbones27 The big aquarium was given by my brothers as well. Not an expert because I'm still learning.

@Letranknight2015 You humble though and like that. How about this where you supposed to be and there is nothing better in the world than being that. Well done brother. I wish I was where I was needed.

I use to keep tumored gold fishes like oranda and lion faces but I moved on to decorative catfishes.

@Letranknight2015 You already have it, Just take care of it and don't mix it with aggressive fish types.

Hello @CaptAlbertWhisker So having oranda gold fish is a bad idea? I'm going to upload this recent picture of this fish. I sense that it's getting rot some how. is there another solution to this?

I don't have fish but I wish I do. I don't know how to take care of them though so I might end up killing them.

Hello @toniganzon I never dreamt of having a fish since my elementary days. Only when my brother gave an aquarium to us last year that got me interested in fish.

Do you think that fish would survive? It is always a worry time when one of our fish suddenly acted strangely.
