Black Pearlscale Ranchu Options

[KokiBali]

Just bought this ranchu last Saturday. About 7 cm length. Tail and back curve are not so good, but this type is still rare. For your viewing pleasure and comment.

Condolence on hearing this bad news. You can do a search the Ailment forum and see if you find any similar symptoms.

Sad to hear the demise of your favourite blackie  I have the same experience like you before, new fish just perish within the transistion critical period, and without a good reason. Found a few reasons:-
1) Problem from the source (most likely). Fish already not doing well and with this change in conditions would aggrevate and cause the death.
2) Something very wrong with your setup, check your water parameters.
3) Something not right about the feeds. From what you describe, seems there is a constipation.

Thanks, Bros.

The fish looked alright for the first 2 days, then it started to rub its body to the tank. I saw some tiny white spots on tail, so I gave it anti white spot medicine. The white spots disappeared, but 1-2 days later it came again and the fish did not eat until it died.

Can frozen bloodworm cause constipation? My brother said that maybe the fish was stressed of being lonely in tank. Is it true?

I observed that my goldfish when it's alone, always hide.But when added a buddy, she seems happier and come out from hiding place and swim around more often. I do think that it is better to keep goldfish in at least 3 pcs (my opinion).
