Found this poor fella dumped in a fountain outside my workplace, the kids came over to see what we were doing
My friend trying to entice him over with a net but he was so beat up from shit water
He doesn't look great but I couldn't leave him there to die alone
Put him in a zip lock bag and carried him home
The kids who were there helping us named him Thomas, he needs your support imgur, Thomas has a new home with new friends, and whoever threw him in the fountain to die, you sir are a prick

This fish kinda reminds me of Trump....

Make sure it has a pump and filter. They need almost weekly water changing after a while

I think you kidnapped a fish, but I'm loving the kid's face in the first pic.

How big is that tank? A goldfish can as easily poop itself to death

Thomas you are a strong fish! ❤ and beautiful
N01Q
I feel like they stole him from a public fish pond...?

Don't let it die, then get eaten by a duck.

Did you tell your other fish they simply had to meet Thomas? Cuz he was coming home? After being off in Paris for so long?

Oh no he's just a chubby baby ;w;

good on you. I accidentally killed fish I try to rescue because I put him in clean water & he went into shock because different environment

You have to introduce the new water slowly. Also ensure that the new water has been conditioned.

yea I had no fish experience and my trusted coworker told me exactly what to do, but left out that detail... I should have just googled.

You tried, which is more than can be said for some people.

What size tank are you using? They need a lot more than most people realize.

It is frustrating to see people buy goldfish for a 10g tank. An oranda needs at least a 38-40gallon for how big and round they get.

And double filtration! And no heater, so no tropical tankmates
MossyMoose
Lol I used to work at a pet store. Hated weekends, parents coming in with dumb kids who get mad when I tell em I won't sell them a goldfish
lilchan16
Yeah i currently work at one too! Unfortunately we get people like that EVERYDAY day lol

I had a 10 gal tank for a goldfish, I noticed he was a bit snug so I got a 20 gal and I swear he grew overnight!! Goldfish are magic.
AustraliaTellsItHowItIs
Freshwater fish will often have their growth stunted if stuck in a small tank. Short-term it's a useful adaptation, long term it is (1/?)
AustraliaTellsItHowItIs
not good for their health. People are generally dicks to fish, so many end up being essentially neglected as they're seen as disposable pets
imjusthereforthemoneynotyourbs
People suck, a fish like that won't do good in just an environment

Not a fish expert or anything but two questions. 1.) Doesn't it look like a tumor on his head? 2.) Wouldn't a fountain be a good place? Lots
Masterleftspud
The pump chemicals in that water and birds will eat the poor little dude
THExPILLOx
Of bugs and such, and plenty of space to swim compared to tiny little tank?
RosiePosiePuddinNPie
The chemicals they use to keep the water looking nice are incredibly toxic. Even the chlorine in tap water kills fish, imagine a fountain.

It's a red cap Oranda goldfish, they're bred to look like that. It's called a "wen" and it's "not a tumah"
THExPILLOx
Interesting, as I previously stated I am not a fish expert lol
Justarandomgiffairy
If you really want to know about the bump in its head I watched an interesting video that talked about it just lady night

I'm at work ATM but if you link it and it's less than 20 mins I'll watch it when I'm out of work
