  1. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    I recently got this black moor goldfish and I have no clue what the gender is. I have many other fish but I don’t know how to tell the gender of this fish. Another thing is, it’s been sitting near the bottom of the tank for most of today and I was wondering if it’s because it doesn’t have other...

    I was changing the water in my tank and cleaning out the tank so I took out my goldfish and put them in a temporary container, the lid of the container was too small so when I went to put the fish in a bigger container I had to pick him up with my hands. I was holding him when he started...

    So yesterday I bought this fantail goldfish from a very reputable local shop, and yesterday she seemed fine. There were only four little goldfish in the tank, and all of them looked really healthy (as did all of the tanks and fish in the shop). Today I've noticed something is off about her...

    Hey I've been away for 3 days and my mum was looking after my 2 goldfish. I have come back and 1 of them has a large red area on the top of the nose which looks like a bleed under the skin. Could anyone please tell me what this could be and can it be cured ? Thanks

    My fancy goldfish was sitting in a small bowl while I was cleaning his tank. My cat jumped onto the counter and got him. He was knocked out of the bowl but was still alive. I quickly scooped him up and placed him back into the bowl. I have another fish in the same 10 gallon filtered and heated...

    I'm fostering 6 small comet goldfish. I would love for them to find a permanent home. Perhaps one of you has a pond with room for a few youngin' goldies? They are really cute and really wiggly. I know they will make great pets. No fee, I don't mind paying shipping. You can also pick them up if...

    My roommate bought 10 feeder goldfish to feed to her RES turtle. He did not eat them and has not eaten them for weeks. These goldfish are being kept in a 1-gallon bowl, as I have nowhere else to put them. It's time to pass them along. I'd love for them to be kept as pets in a proper tank, but I...
