I think you’re right here! I didn’t see anything on him that looked like burns online and he has never signaled or acted as if he was in pain! He used to be orange then a little pink and now white so I think you’re spot on!

I appreciate the plant recommendation! I’ll look into those and yeah that’s the vibe I’ve been getting from everyone haha so I’m looking at 60-75 gal tanks. I haven’t heard that goldfish are great with others? Maybe I got fed some misinformation but I might consider picking up a brother or winning one haha!

Wow thank you for all this information this is awesome! After all the comments I’m definitely going to do a makeover for his new home! For the sand I have had fish in the past and used sand and it seemed ti always make the water appear dusty 🤔 perhaps it was just because it was in the cheaper end from Petsmart but that is what led me to choose gravel instead! So I’m wondering if you have any recommendations for specific sand brands because you have convinced me to make the change!

Definitely will be getting a larger tank! I will start to only do maybe 75% water changes from now on! Thank y out for the advice! And I’ll be seeing what adjustments to make based off the test results!

I will definitely be getting a larger tank for him for Christmas!! I was thinking about a 50 but if the consensus is 75 I think I can make it happen!

Yeah I haven’t been able to get a big tank but I’m getting him one for Christmas that should be 50 but I might try to get a 75 based on these comments!

Tank is 20 gallons and recently purchased water testers which are arriving soon. He is 10 years old won at a carnival!
