    Someone please advise me! I just moved my two goldfish (Rudy Fantail & Buster Moor) into one big tank. They were each living in separate smaller tanks and looked lonely. Now, in their new digs, Rudy will not stop chasing Buster. I feel awful! Buster is rather slow and kinda clumsy. Has anyone had this problem? Will Rudy eventually let up? Should I move them back into separate tanks? I love them and don't want them to be too stressed out. Note: No fin biting so far and when I feed them they ignore each other. Also, they sleep separately from time to time. Thanks so much!

    Bless - tehre's nothing youc an do about it. Either leave them be or add a few more fish so that the attention is taken away from Buster

    Hey, that's a good idea! Thanks. I wonder what I'll try... I've had horrible luck with white cloud mountain minnows...

    You know, yesterday was a better day. Today, Buster is swimming and sleeping upside down. Rudy has stopped chasing him but checks in on him routinely. I did a 1/3 water change and fed them loads of skinned peas. Its going to be a long night. I'll hold off on adding roommates for the duration. Wish me luck!
