Okay, so here's the situation!
- There is this goldfish that is at my local farm market, it's smaller than my goldfish and is a telescope eye. I've watched it for @ least 2 months and observed chnages in the tank.
1) there was a case of ich, and some died, this fish survived. 2) they put a crayfish in the tank with the goldfish *AND I COMPLAINED UNTIL THEY GOT IT OUT!* (which got one pearlscale)
3) about 3-4 weeks ago there was a pearlscale with what looked like to be fin rot. Last week I went back and the pearlscale that was sick was gone (probably died). The fish I am interested in has a small chunk of one of the lobes of his tail gone and splits in his dorsal fin. I almost bought him last week, but thought better of it, seeking your advice first.
*MY QUESTION IS* (thought I'd never get here, huh?)
Should I buy the telescope eye and keep him seperated from my other fish? Should I wait? (all the other fish in the tank look healthy) If I do buy the fish should I treat it?
THANKS!
