Lethargic Goldfish
I have recently bought 2, a calico oranda and a black/red(what does that mean, there are no red on him) oranda.
My slightly larger(1 1/2 inch) calico oranda is doing fine and is always swimming around looking for stuff.
But my BR oranda seems lethargic. He stays in the corner and just sits there most of the time. When the Calico comes by and touch him he would move around for like a minute and then settle down again. He does eat but very very little. oh and he has gotten stuck in my filters 2 times so there are some missing scales on him. I covered the pumps intake with a thin piece of filter fiber so even if he does get sucked in the wont get hurt.
So the question is, is he sick or is he just shock or what.??
Tank is undergoin cycle right now and i'm doing 20% water changes every 3 days (30 gallon) Temperature is constantly 72degreesF. Used Gravel..and one filter with used filter sponge (40gallon pump and a 20 gallon pump).
Help, please, and thank you.
