Fish Fanatic
I put up a post of this in the coldwater section, but figuring I post here the most, and some of you were understanding of my current home arrangement about my goldfish, I have a problem.
I have been getting increasingly freaked out about SeaB. I thought he was eating alright, etc. until I've seen him get stuck to the 'tube' of my filter 2 times this week. I have the Aqua-Tech filter that my 5 gal. came with, and have attempted to lessen the current by having it pulled upwards, but 8 times out of 10 it doesn't stay, and am thinking to get a different filter. Because of my freaked-outed-ness, I have moved him to a gallon bowl for now, to moniter him. I will do constant waterchanges, as I know it's pretty much evil to keep him in there, but this way, there is no current to pull him in.
I tried to feed him, and he seems to be doing the same thing that Nemo did, he'll suck it in, spit it out, suck in, spit out. It's like he can't eat. He did the same thing with flakes a few days back, I thought he didn't like them because he'd just gotten sinking granules.
Nemo, for some reason, could not eat, and literally withered away. I eventually had to euthenize him...I thought he couldn't eat because he had injured his throat or something when he had a pea that he choked on...but SeaB. has had peas, and he hadn't choked on any. If this is a disease I'm unsure of what it might be...as Eddie is perfectly fine. He eats like a pig, is active, etc. I'm really unsure of what is going on, and right now everything is falling down on my head, so it doesn't suprise me that another fish gets sick.
Any help, on what you think it might be, would be greatly appreciated.
I have just fed him a little *SeaB* and he did eat a couple small granules. Maybe I'm overreacting, but whenever I think I'm not, something happens unpleasent.
