I have a shubunkin, a common goldfish, and two fantails in a 29 G tank.
The fantails are much smaller than the single tails. I feed them twice a day, flake food from Tetra in the morning, pellets in the evening. I also toss in a spirulina disc at night. I'm wondering if the fantails are not getting enough food. My fantails are shaped differently from the fantails I see at the pet stores - my fantails are a bit more elongated and not quite as rotund in shape. They are still quite fat if one gets a view from the back, though. Poop looks normal. Are they being underfed? Incidentally, the common goldfish, which is the largest, is a bit of a food bully but it and the shubunkin usually bully each other leaving the fantails alone to chase after food scraps. When I worry that the smallest fantail has not been getting enough food I put some food pellets in a small glass saltshaker without the lid, the mouth of which is only large enough for the fantail. y-m |
