Big Fishies

As some of you may recall, I started feeding my goldfish several times a day a few weeks ago to help some underweight ones.

I have not had any ammonia spikes or waste to the point where I can't handle it.

However, the fish have changed a little. Kona, (who has already pretty fat before), is now growing very fast and is also a bit fatter. lol The fish let me touch them when they are fed and that fish felt very fat when I touched it. XD Also, Salyme and Wickren are thriving. Salyme was a tiny, malnourished grey fish when I got it but it is now thriving and almost 5 inches including the tail, the longest fish I have.

Some of the others seem to be gaining a little and growing. Sadly, Foneme (the skinniest to begin with) is having a hard time putting on weight despite eating more. And Hansel, a small but healthy fish, is putting on weight instead of growing (which is slightly amusing.

Anyway, I'm not asking for questions and/or suggestions. Just posting my experience on this.

Thanks for posting, as this is a good teaching tool for visitors to the forum, as this shows what a more intense feeding schedule can and cannot do.

Yep. I forgot to mention the part where my fish attack/nibble my fingers hard every time I feed them. It is harmless. lol

Anyway, after I'm sure my computer is more in order (if you read a thread I posted in the lounge, you will read about a virus I got) and I am a little less busy, I will try to get some videos. They are hilarious to watch.

And I'm glad this post can help others too. Thanks for the feedback on it.
