Ordered from chuchugoldfish one more time. A panda oranda

Fish arrived safely

In the tank


Edit 8/9/24 - Udate, Very strange mystery death with this fish. No clue as to why. It had been eating the day before and seemed good and then find it dead in the morning. I had been treating tank with antibiotic for another fish with a swim bladder infection and not sure if the infection is contagious or what, but that is all I can come up with. There are two other goldies in the tank and they both seem fine.

Ended up placing an order with kingkoigoldfish.com for a couple fish since I ended up losing my gold coin sakura ranchu due to swim bladder infection.

The new fish are a Milk cow ranchu (basically a calico with a cow pattern)



The other fish is a Dragon eye pearlscale



This was the company I got my red and white Lionchu from and was happy with the quality of the fish. I did ask for cold packs considering the weather.

Got an email about one of the fish: "The milk cow ranchu has an inflamed lateral line and we recommend that we hold the fish 1 week as a safety precaution. We don't expect any major issues with the fish but as shipping can be very stressful, we want to do what is best for the fish."

I opted to wait a week but is this something really bad?

Depends on what's causing the inflammation. Is it an infection? If so, of what? One obvious possibility is Hexamita, which can also present as HITH disease. As you know, this is no joke. It could also be an autoimmune reaction, which is not contagious, but very difficult to treat. I don't know much about goldfish, and the supplier doesn't seem all that concerned, but given your recent issues with goldfish, I'd be cautious.

Vendor said fish was looking better and would ship this upcoming week. I asked if they did any medication and if they recommend to continue treat. Waiting on response.

Decided to try another fish from Kaiju, this time a Yuan Bao panda. I will be putting all new fish through quarantine.

Sadly got an email this morning that one of the online vendors was closing their doors
