could something be wrong ith fishyfish (my goldfish)?

Question

i think she is blind, nothing else, blind by natural causes ( or last time she hit her head really hard on the ornaament now removed and leaves her head with a dent) and i could tell shes blind from her eye being "empty" looking, anyways, my question iscould something else be wrond because i don't really seem to see her poo and i don't think it's constipation because i already starved her and fedd peas sereveral times now, i have another goldfish in the tank with her and she is perfectly healthy and poos are health looking

Answer 1

It could be she's pooing less, since the lack of vision isn't allowing her to find as much food, and the other goldfish is getting most of what's being put in.

You may just need to be a little more aware of what's happening at feeding time, either by target-feeding the blind fish, or using a divider to keep them separated so they each get their fair share.

Even blinded, the fish will still be able to find food using it's sense of smell, it just may take it a little longer because it has to "home in" on the smell rather than see whare the food's at. That can be even more difficult if you use flakes and the filter is moving the food around. You might want to use sinking pellets/foods to feed her if you don't already.

If this doesn't seem to make a difference, she may have a problem with an internal infection or parasite, but I'd start by making sure she is eating/pooing first.

Answer 2

Since she got hit on that ornament, she could have serious issues due that she hit her head. try see a specialist and ask if she blind or head damages and how to help her.
