Adam M Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 My child brought a goldfish home from school in a 2 litter "terrarium" they made at the end of last school year, it was tiny now it's clost to 5 inches and has started getting white spots on it. possibly loosing scales, currently it's in a 20 gallon high (i know its too small but we are moving in jan and i have a 125 there he is going to move to) with 6 bloodfin tetras (still way to big for him to eat) and a small bn pleco a couple of nerite snails. it's a medium planted tank currently 6 anubias, 1 java fern, 1 something the LFS called a red ruben, 6 sprouts of valsnaria (spelling), and a few stems of scarlett temple and a new maybe 4x4 piece of java moss. total hardness 65 20-25 nitrates, 0 ammonia 0 nitrite, 73 deg. kh 70ish, ph 7.4 using aqueon plant food 1 dose per week as instructed co2 at 1.1 bps also i think he had the white spots before i got the tetras they were placed in tank on the 11th of this month. fish eats great ( anything that will fit) never stops swimming or pooping for that matter seems and acts fine sorry brower glitched didnt' meant to double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam M Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 no he doesn't seem to be bloated at all, and his scales look great ( not sticking out / pine cone like at all) except for the few missing and the new white spots, i tried to take a better photo but he was being stubbon lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
