Thanks for all of your help...my daughter's goldfish "Benji" is MUCH
better after some antibiotic gel food drops. Turns out he had
dropsy....a few days of drops and he's like a new fish. Even his eyes
seem better! He's dozing horizontally again, and isn't lumpy, red, or
bent any more.

I wouldn't have tried so hard to save him if I hadn't read here that
goldfish are "supposed" to live past 20 years or so. Thanks!
=======================
Good luck with your goldfish. I hope you enjoy him for many years to come.
