Wen Growth Problem On A Lionchu Options

[32Bit_Fish]

I was looking at the pics of my goldfish which they were taken several months ago when I first got them.

One of the fish that I bought from pet store, his wen gotten so much smaller. The difference is like day and night. I dont know what happened. I feed him progold in the morning and hikari frozen food at night. A lot of you were telling me that I'm overfeeding my fish, but why his wen gotten so much smaller n there is no wen growth even when I have been overfeeding them? They suppose to be overweight, not the other way around. This just doesn't make any sense to me.

Now I feel like I need to feed more frequent or the other possibility is the seller injected hormone to the wen area try to make a sell.

I bought the fish couple hours after he arrived at the my LFS, so either the breeder or the middle person done something to the fish. Otherwise, I couldn't figure out why this is happening to my fish.

All my fish have lengthen, but the wen growth has been going backwards.

Does anyone have any idea about what I'm talking about?

The fish looks healthier now than it did back in March - aside from those small wen infections under the eye. Those are like acne in a teenager and are not generally too serious.

I think it would be a mistake to start medicating the fish without knowing what you are treating for.

Yeah, the fish was able to recover from these small wen infections by himself without any medication. I believe it was secondary infection from gill fluke some sore. Currently the tank is being treated with Prazi.

I added a medium size air bar into the tank and all the fish became very active. I never knew the air bubbles are so important and never realize my tank was underoxygenized. I had a hydro sponge filter in the tank only previously with a very small air stone installed in the filter which it generates very few air bubbles.

Hi 32,

It think your got a poor water quality and maybe your fish is in stressed conditions or placed in a noisy environment, let me give you an example... its like a person going to the gym everyday puping his muscle and working really hard... taking good vitamins and muscle builder suppliments but he got lack of sleep, his Job is in too much pressure, no peace of mind, equals to heavy stress... so he will not grow his muscle and this is a fact... so in your case I think the wen is getting smaller because of this similar cases.. try to relax your fish..
