goldfish tail problems

oliesminis · 07-04-2007, 03:49 PM

hi
i have had my goldfish tank for 6 months, its has had the same 3 goldfish in it since i got it! There has been no problems atall with the fish or tank, and they all appear to get on with one another, however i have just noticed that one of the goldfish's tail looks to have been shredded (it had a long flowing tail) and over 50% of it has gone. Has anyone got any suggestions as to why this has happened and what i can do to help, sort out this problem.

Thanx

ph 6.5
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 15

these are fancy goldfish not pond type fish

I just experienced the exact same thing with one of my fancy-tailed goldfish. I think my problem is a too-small tank with too-high temperatures. What size tank do you have? If you find out that it is something else or if you find something that helps your fish, please let me know!

If you have a filter that your fishes get stuck to, that might be the problem because that happened to me.
