Plz help my fishy nigel
I’m a beginner at this and have tried my absolute best to research what is best for my new fishy, Nigel.
I plan on getting some Anubias and java ferns tomorrow to put in place of the plastic plants (they are just there as placeholders and will soon all be replaced by real plants!!).
But nigel seems really stressed, he’s constantly glass surfing and acting erratically. He was kept in really really bad conditions before this in an overcrowded tank of about 13 other goldfish, could his behavior just be because he’s in a new space? I’ve only had him a few weeks.
I also noticed he had what looked like ammonia burns so i did a 50% water change and conditioned the water. I want to get the big water testing kit everyone talks about aswell just to be safe.
Any tips on what i can feed him, have in the tank, or other things i could get/use to make him more comfortable?
Everyone tells me im crazy for caring about a goldfish this much, there isn’t any fish stores around me and it seems like everyone thinks he should just be in a bowl, am i crazy :(
