Hi everyone,

I have two Goldfish, and one of them seems to be getting really wide and fat, we believe that it is a Spambot, but we aren't 100% sure, if thats of any help. She dosen't usually look like this and its starting to worry me, she's very old (about 8 years of age) and has been well looked after.

Is something wrong? Please help if you know anything at all.

Jack.

I forgot to ask how long hes had this. And does the other fish look sick. Finaly smell the water. It may have a bad PH level to much amoinia.

I once had a goldfish for nine Years. Now I got a 40 gallon tank with five gold fish and one minnow. I think there hungry cause there all at the end of the tank im on and there all looking at me.

No i haven't tested the water, what do i need to do that? (Just cleaned out the tank by the way, fresh water with the treatment chemicals etc.)

You should only take out about 25% of the water out because you dont want to shock the fish when you put them back in. Clean out the filter. But a good idea is to get a testing kit because you can have a bad PH level and To much Amonia. how dig is the tank by the way.

And suck up the dirt from the bottom sand and take away plants there are brown or dead
you can take some water from you thank and lat them you bay the fish test the water for you,

Thats Veary Veary bad. That is how my fish looked. That what I was talking about the scals. Thy are pointing out. This Is caused by bad water. Your fish looks exactly like my fish did. How long has your fish been like this.

[IRI5HJ4CK]

She seems to have been eating more than usual, and the male has been what looks like cleaning her and swiming around her. She dosen't seem to be gasping for air either, and seems quite happy, i'm not sure what to do. i'm going to the aquatics shop tomorrow for their opinion.

Jack.
p.s. To answer your question, she's been like this for the last couple of weeks.

[Ship Sim]

Well tell us what they say.

[IRI5HJ4CK]

Will do, Thanks for all your help
