I read somewhere that this can indicate fluke infestation and I dosed the tank with Goldfish Parasite Guard 6 days ago and repeated (with a water change) after 4 days but so far it doesn’t seem to be any better. She is very active – swimming around a lot and playing in the bubbles of the aeration – she is a lovely little fish and I would really appreciate if you could recommend what else I could try to make her better. Also, suggestions on what to feed her – I keep seeing peas mentioned – are these good?
