haha rili got a goldfish topic.

thanks ts for creating the thread. I used to have 2 aquariums back in the old days rearing red gold oranda's In cantonese we call it kepala singa type. I like its head like mucous.   I tink the big one about 6 feet and the small one about 3 feet. Their activeness and energetic and mouth open big big make u happy. when u go near to them they will swim up and ask for food  . They can sense their master is there. Cute. Their tail open like butterfly oso veli nice. I tink i had around 10-13 of them

bout how to differentiate the sex of the goldfish. on its pungung u can c a sirip rite. according to old time wat ppl teach me is if 1 sirip wan is a male. if ther is 2 sirip its a female. Its fun rearing goldfish. But like all forumers says here u have to take gud care of the water and their food waste effectively. Else the other day u c ur fishes jadi apung apung  . I also got las time wat they say in cantonese "hak sik dai ngan gam yu". Cute especially u buy those that their tail can shaped up like a butterfly.

Once i breed them b4. Its a veli veli tiny like small small needles the fry. U can c their organs transparent. when they a full u can c their stomach is full with reddish color of the food pellets cos its transparent.  . I got a baby frie mixed with red oranda and "hak sik dai ngan gam yu". When it bcome big its beautiful. I still remember u can rub the stomach of the female from upwards to downwards they will release their eggs. Dun play play.

Bout the sickness of the fish sumtime u nid to observe the behaviour of the fish. Got one time i observe my fish keep scratching the bottom of the aquarium. sumthing like u gatal wana scratch to ease it. It means tat there is parasite on ur fish gill o skin. Then u shud beware o quarantine the fish tat have tis symptom. Medicine can be easily get from fish shops. Read the instructions carefully before applying the treatment. There is also a parasite tat like to hang to the body of goldfish. Its visible to see wif ur eyes. Last time i still remember each fish i bring it up and search the whole body tat have the parasite and remove it with the edge of a spoon. den i put the parasite into a bottle fill wif water. Wa they look like alien shape like pancake.

Sooner move to new house may b the water on tat area is not gud wif heavy clorine and heavy metals all apung apung. Now at kl jus get a small tank rearing tetras oni. No time to look after goldfish already. But veli tempted to c goldfish selling at fish shop. When i go near c them they like asking me to bring them back home.   

bro u can try salt. In the old time ppl say is use salt to kill bacteria.

no, that's NOT the way to take care of your fish.

get a hospital tank for it to recover.

how big is your goldfish? adult sized, an ideal hospital tank would be 2ft tank with proper filtration.
