BRITE* Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I noticed just five minutes ago that my Female Goldfish's anus is now visible & there seem to be 2 small clear balls hanging from under it. She does not look pregnant either. Just yesterday we added : a glass catfish, 3 mollies, a guppy, & a pleco to the tank. Prior to that she had been by herself. Any ideas on what this is?

LYNDYLOO Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi Brite, For a start Goldfish are Coldwater fish and all of the other fishies that you have listed that you have put into this tank are Tropical. Apart form that I have no idea what could be wrong with your fishy. Do hope you get it sorted. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Doesn't look like that. I googled it. It's nto red. It looks liek they are floating and are clearly attached by something... but it's hard to tell.

mustcooktea Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Looking at the goldfish poop page I refer to occasionally your description seems most like constipation which goldfish can be prone to. Try fasting the fish and then feeding peas. Your other fish will probably enjoy peas as well. http://www.kokosgoldfish.com/GoldfishPoop.html MCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
