he actually is doing quite well in the 5 gallon. Yes hw has a filter and the graval is in a nylon so he doesn't injure himself.
He has a silk plant he sleeps under. he loves to lay in the sun when it hits the end of the tank. ( very weak sun- at least 6 feet from the window.
The eyes are now clear from the film that was over them when I got him.
He will now take peas and I am working on him accepting duck weed. ( I keep a pan growing for my other goldfish.)
I have put his tank next to the betta tank so he can at least see other fish swimming about.
I notice his top fin is partly missing just from the abrasion of being on his back for so much of his swimming time. It is not rot!!
The grandkids insist on seeing him when they visit. he was originally thiers. They replaced him with a pleco! Go figure. Anyway I think he is doing ok. he does not swim much. I think because he is so clumsy. He is a bit more active than when he was in the 20 gallon he came from. Too much stuff in there for him to cope with.
I wish I could fix up a little sling for him so he could be right side up when swimming.
