Hello, i ordered a ranchu off the "goldfishnet.com". He has arrived, and wonderful, i had never seen one in person before so it was very exciting. My only worry is that his head growth is SO large, that it has started to cover his right eye completely. the left eye is covered half way. He doesn't seem to find food very well, he will swim right passed it... and sometimes swim into the glass walls. I have heard of "wen trimming" but i do not know where i would go to have this procedure done. Any suggestions? or am i just worrying too much?

I would first observe it for two weeks. Fish have also a sense of smell and goldfish won't have a problem finding it if the tank is not too big.
I personally won't remove it but if you'd like to find out how it is done. Try this link below. Good luck! http://thegab.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=655 |
