kevincanada Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I am sitting here watching Cory tour a wholesale facility and i am reminded of my bad luck with all of the short bodied goldfish i have kept over the yrs. i have 15 yr old normal goldfish and shubunkins, but the telescope eyes, ryukins, pearl scales etc, all ended up dying bloated and floating upside down. i tried everything ( this was over the course of 4 yrs) but eventually they died. are there any surefire tipes to prevent this? is it food or genetics? i dont want to revisit until i know what i did wrong. cheers.

TheSwissAquarist Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 They are supposedly seriously overbred, so they aren’t as hardy as your shubunkins and comets. Sorry you had such a bad experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) solidgold aquatics has a lot of good content on goldfish, and about an hour long or so video talking about genetic issues. I can't speak to what is or isn't going on with the genetics, but someone who has a lot of experience, this might be one to look at and think over the conversation from this hobbyist.
