i have two goldfish, one of them is new, the other i have had for one year, i put them in the same water thing after making sure my new fish was not sick by keeping them seperate for a week.
Now my first goldfish(after they have been in the same tank for like, two weeks)is kinda fat by her abdomine(pregnant maybe?)
and she was just orange and white
then the other fish , the new one, stared getting kinda dark under its left front flipper thingy
now its black on all its tails\flippers, and it almost looks like its black from the inside
im scared that my fish might both die cuz in less than two hours my old fish has gotten a black spot on its tail fin
and when i woke yesterday morning they were both bleeding, even tho i am feeding them regularly
they were both bleeding on their mouths and my new one (whose name is King)is bleeding under its mouth and under one of its from fins
please please email some kind of info at katluvr12@gmail.com
please tell me any suggestions u might have cuz im desperate

I did have high ammonia and did a water change as well as treat for ammonia. One week later, my weakest goldfish (purchased over one year ago as a tiny feeder fish) has the black symptoms and is lying upside down and struggling to breath.

Is there anything to save this fish? I separated him into a bowl and addes some stresscoat. What should I do to save him?

This is a great article that should be promoted much more. Unfortunately, this characteristic of goldfish is not well known to people and surprisingly a large amount pet store keepers.
