Okay so I am giving away one of my goldfish for free. It is a crown pearlscale. If you know about goldfish it is pretty rare and you can not really find any place that sells them locally in the bay area.
The catch is i belive it has swim bladder disorder. It has trouble swimming which isnt uncommon for fish of this type. It has been that way for months. I recently put it into a sick tank and tried different treatments. I fed it medigold and treated tank with melafix. Incase it was a sort of bacterial infection. I have treated other fish with feeding peas and worked wonderfully. Except this fish seems to be picky and wont eat peas just everything else.
I havent tried treating with epson salt yet. But if someone here is knowledgeable with fish and would like to take it off my hands to try to save it and give it a good home just message me. I work in the day but get home in the evenings so bring your own container and you can come over any time and pick it up.
I think if you can get it to eat some peas and treat with epson salt and high water quality it could make a full recovery. It is a very pretty fish. It is only the size of about a half dollar right now. I have had it since it was a baby for abour 7 months now.
I found a pic on the net of some. It looks exactly like in the picture maybe the bottom one. Simular size to....
