Hi, no haven't seen her interact with any of the other fish really.
She has moved about the tank a bit more today but is still rather
solitary. I had the black moor in quarantine for just over a month. I
put him in the tank and from that moment the Ryukin started 'sulking'.

Before you panic Mellie some goldfish will react this way to a new fish. It
doesn't mean she immediately got some disease from the Moor. He was
probably so different looking than what she had ever seen before she is
reacting - as a few on mine recently did to plecs and ottos. Of course she
can be "sick" and just coincidentally is showing it - but it's most likely
not related to the new fish. If the moor has parasites of some kind it
wouldn't effect her so quickly. Parasites take time to build up.

Don't know if it is that. Just put a slice of orange in the usual
feeding corner and she ventured over there and tried it but then went
back to the middle again. Usually she hangs our with our fantail but
can't say she has been near him much either. The pearlscale has taken
the black moor under his 'fin'. Still going to plant the other end of
the tank tomorrow to see if that helps.

Please keep us informed. :-)

Thanks for all your help
Mellie
