Alright, so I decided to start keeping fish [used to have about 6 bettas] again, and went with goldfish. So right now I have a shubunkin named Sheila and a oranda named Gus Gus in my 10g tank [20g broke when I moved]. I'm well aware that it's overstocked, but I do have an aquaclear 50 with 200gph on it and am fixing up the pond outside for Sheila. Anyways, to the nasty habits.
Both came from seperate tanks at the LFS, so in the beginning Sheila was chasing Gus Gus around. It has stopped since than, except around feeding time. I'm starting to wonder if Sheila may be blind in one eye, as she seems to have trouble spotting food that is on herleft or below her. Her left eye is entirely black, just the eye, I just put it off as part of being calico. So now at feeding time she sort of push Gus Gus around because he finds all the food. I'm figuring that this will have to be solved by putting her in antoher tank or the pond, whichever comes first.
The second habit is that Sheila took on the habit of playing with the bubbles at the top. Than, Gus Gus started copying her and does it more frequently while Sheila hardly does it now. I'm worried that Gus Gus, beign an oranda, will develop SBD. I'm thinking they may confuse their steady food, sinking pellets, with the bubble, and that switching their main food may help eliminate this.
Now to the questions. I noticed a day ago that sheila has some tiny tiny black spots on her face, and that her face seemed a little pinker than normal. Now today I noticed more tiny tiny black spots on her body and Gus Gus as well. Is this the symptom for any type of disease?
My tank is still cycling, but all of the tests are fine and the waters been treated.
