Question
Dear Chloe,
Thank You for helping my oranda with the swimbladder disease. He is doing a little bit better, i tried not to feed him too much so his stomach can digest the food easier. I just need to  know where i can buy frozen peas, arent they are little big for my fish to eat? Can you give me a little description on how to feed my oranda the frozen peas? As for my other oranda, i don't think he has Dropsy. Sorry for the unclear description of my oranda. His scale are not up, however his wound are getting a little worse, i can see like blood on it. Could it be that he ran into my decorations and  scratched himself? I am really worry about him. Please help. Thank You so much Chloe

Answer
Hi Quan,
Goldfish can eat peas whole or if you are a little worried about them getting them stuck in their mouth you can chop them into little quarters. You can buy frozen peas from any supermarket. If your other fish is not doing so good try using melafix as this will help heal the wound and prevent infections. If you think he may have hurt himself on the decor it would be a good idea to remove it. This will prevent further accidents.

Good luck!
Chloe.
