I drove over an hour to go pick up this unwanted fish tonight. The previous owner was keeping it in such crappy conditions I just wanted to kick him square in the balls! But I'm a lady so I don't do things like that...even if I REALLY want to.

Currently this fish is housed in a cycled 20g QT tank. It's not very active right now b/c it's very stressed. I only turned the lights on for this short video and turned them out again so it could rest. after it finishes a 6week quarantine I'll add it to my population of larger size moors until it can be re-homed with some one who I would not like to kick in the balls!

Those looking for help with sick fish please feel free to message me. I've been keeping and studying fish for 23yr with 9yrs devoted to aquatic rehabilitation. And if I can't answer your question I can help you find some one who can.

also who doesn't "have room" for a 10G tank? even that is too small...but straight up...better than 5 gallons with probably no filteration. Painful. My entire living room is taken up with a 75G tank. I'd rather have that than my tv haha. Keep on keepin and I subscribed to you. Need more videos of the little fishies. Can you do a video of all your aquariums?

@roany55 lol This fish is doing very well now. She has even spawned with one of my male ryukin a few times shortly after coming out of quarantine. At the moment she lives in a 180gallon tank with some other rescues. When the weather warms up she'll go out to one of my ponds unless she's adopted before then. I make videos when I can but I stay very busy. Thanks for your support dear. I wish there were more fish keepers like you out there!

You have done such a great job with goldfish. If I ever have any questions about mine, I am coming to you. :-)

@magscat3161 That's very good to hear. And sorry for the double posting...my computer does that sometimes. Yah fish keepers really don't like to learn how to actually keep fish. I wish I could manage a pet store and teach my staff the right way to sell goldfish. Sigh. Although I know nothing of tropical fish so it probably wouldn't work out aha. Keep up saving those little cuties :)

Magscat, some people are unbelievably stupid. Don't worry yourself over it. 5G is obviously far too small for the fish. I seem to have very good luck at my local petsmart with them stating about tanks being too small, but I know a few fish stores I have been to have no idea. Fish are not happy in that small of a tank. It's like packing two people into a bathtub to live and poop. Fun. Not. Anyways this is a beautiful panda moor, and I hope it recovers soon. Some people disgust me...

@redfish134 Thanks dear but this is one of those people who has to beat their head against a brick to...still not get it. Let's just let it drop.

@dragonair2000 You should listen to magscat. He really knows what he's talking about. My fish were so close to dying they were laying upside down on the bottom of the tank. I followed his advice and he saved them.

@dragonair2000 Look, I've been keeping and rehabilitating fish for longer than you've been alive. You asked for my advice and I gave you the facts. I can't change facts just b/c you don't like them. If you want to practice selfish methods of fish keeping; not my problem. It sucks for your fish but hey I can't save them all. Your fish will die if you don't listen to this. Maybe it will survive the ulcers but it will not live out it's natural lifespan in that crappy tank. That's just fact.
