Would you rather spend a bunch of money trying to cure a fish that was sick before you bought him, or try to get Mum to take you back to the store and get a fish you have a good chance of keeping alive ? Mum should not be pleased that they sold you a sick fish. You can check online, Amazon might have them. They will cost money, I don't know how much. Some stores will have this, but probably you'd have to buy those online. For columnaris, you'd need Triple Sulfa, maybe some Methylene blue as well. I am not positive what disease he has but I think it might the one I mentioned. I have no idea what they cost where you are, I live in Canada. You can call any store to find out what they charge for various size tanks in your area. You don't need a heater, they are COLD water fish. Probably complete with stand, filter and all. Tanks can be bought used, on Craig's list or Ebay classifieds, for much less cost than new. If you don't buy a big tank this year, you will end up buying new tanks every year until he is grown because he will outgrow smaller tanks fast. If you can get a tank that's about 50 or 60 gallons in size, then you could have two goldfish in that. If you put two fish in it chances are high both will die. You do not have room for two fish in that tank. Goldfish are cold water fish and there are no other fish that can live with them. I'm sorry, I know that is not what you want to hear but it's too small even for Smaug. You cannot have another fish in that tank. The store should take him back.Ĭan I ask how old you are ? Because you don't seem to be understanding me. He was certainly sick when you bought him and that's not your fault at all. Please think about this carefully.īecause fixing your Black Moor is going to take a lot of work and effort and there are no guarantees of success. The Pet store will never tell you this, because really, their main goal is to sell stuff.īetta fish are very pretty, can live several years and are a lot of fun to keep. They need so much space and so much clean water and it is a lot of work and expense. Goldfish, even though everyone thinks they are easy beginner fish, are not. If you put the words 'Nitrogen cycle' in the search bar at the top right of the page, you'll find blogs with explanations of how it works. You have to learn what the 'Nitrogen cycle' is. Your tank would be great for a Betta fish and the Betta fish can live a good happy life in a tank like yours.īut you still need to be sure you have a filter and then you need to cycle the tank, before you buy another fish. They should do that, they have some sort of guarantee and this fish did not get into this condition in one day. If I were you, I would take this fish back to the store and tell show them the condition it is in and get them to replace it.
If he does not have the room to grow, he'll become stunted and sick and die in a lot of pain decades sooner than he should.

When he is full grown, in about 3 years, he will be nearly a foot long with the fins included. I know you think he must be old but he's a baby, probably just six months old or less. Goldfish grow to be huge in a very short time. Two, your tank is not big enough for even the one fish. one thing, you should NEVER put a new fish in with a sick fish.
