I’m sorry for your loss. In high goldfish keeping we actively quarantine fish for up to 2 weeks before adding to our show tank to prevent additional stress or contamination of fish. What likely happened from what you described is internal parasites or possible body or gill flukes. When quarantining fish for 2 weeks, the first week is dedicated to removing any unwanted internal and external parasites through the use of a combination of medicine and salt. Additionally, no feeding should be performed for the first 3-5 days. The second week is for observation. All throughout this time frame, water is changed daily but medicine and salt etc is re dosed only for the first week of treatment. Treatment continues only if fish is sick after the first week. There is no filter on the tank and only an air stone is added. pH should be kept the same as all other goldfish at about 7.8-8.2. This can be buffered by baking soda if necessary. Only if the fish passes through 2 weeks with no issues do we add to the main tank. It does not matter if the fish has been “quarantined” in the shop. Your tank’s natural bacteria is different from that of the shop or the farm the fish came from, it is necessary to follow these steps to give your fish the best chance of survival anytime a new fish is purchased.
Aww Chris I am so sorry to hear the sad news. It is very stressful moving your fish. 😢 I moved all 16 of my goldfish last week. They have been in their new home for 3 days and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will all survive.
Hugs 🤗 I spent yesterday morning with my most mature lionhead ranchu with bad swim bladder but after some quick action I managed to save her she’s up and about today. First fish I’ve brought back from the brink…but often it’s hard to rescue dying fancies
I found Koi to be suprisingly hardier than Goldfish I’ve got high end koi too Sakai , Dainichi , Momotaro, Oya etc Sad you lost that big beautiful Oranda . Moving fish is always a lottery
Good idea! But I don't think so. I have a 20lpm pond air pump adding aeration to the system. I think this was, unfortunately, just a poor adjustment in acclimation to the aquarium and nothing I could have spotted 😕
Unfortunately, nothing to do with the tank as this would have effected all of the fish. Plenty of filter media that wasn't disrupted. Just one of those things, part of the hobby 😔

So sorry for your loss Buddy

Can you make a video showing all your tanks and your fish by name?! 😍 I didn’t even know your goldfish had names 😅
Sure thing! I'll add it to the list 😄
I found Koi to be suprisingly hardier than Goldfish
I’ve got high end koi too Sakai , Dainichi , Momotaro, Oya etc
Sad you lost that big beautiful Oranda . Moving fish is always a lottery
Definitely agree with you there! Always a challenge moving large fancies. Thanks for watching 😄
Super shame mate, sotimes some just get a little weak from the move. Onwards and upwards
Definitely! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
About adding a power head to the simple budget tank?
I think an air stone would be a good idea! But I will be revealing what's happening to the simple budget aquarium next video 😁
Hi FGF. What are your filters on your heavenly stocked goldfish tank 👍😊
This should help czcams.com/video/b33WtWBUeiE/video.htmlsi=e2-NZV15vmbKaLzR
Sad news. I am so sorry.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I lost a pearscale last month so I feel you
They’re too easy to lose! Such sensitive little golf balls!
@@missyflutter5562the fish probably has a disease from the breeder coz the other pingpong ball is growing fatter,bigger and healthy
Sorry to hear that! How about a possible oxygen crash? I’m sure it’s ok but I’d always have an air stone in there anyway
Good idea! But I don't think so. I have a 20lpm pond air pump adding aeration to the system. I think this was, unfortunately, just a poor adjustment in acclimation to the aquarium and nothing I could have spotted 😕
You say it’s a coincidence but how do you know? It’s a big concern.
Because the two fish were in completely different systems 😀
Sorry you lost him.
Sorry to hear. Its probably because you messed with the tank. Sometimes I think once it's established leave well alone.
Unfortunately, nothing to do with the tank as this would have effected all of the fish. Plenty of filter media that wasn't disrupted. Just one of those things, part of the hobby 😔
@@AquaticElements still awful when happens 😕
It's always sad to hear to loosing a fishie🫣🤢😩.I'll be crying 😭
