His name is Worm, he’s 5-6 inches and he’s biting my fancy goldfish’s fins. He’s a great fish, super entertaining and I wish i could keep him but I just want him to go to a good home.

Damn I thought they were chill with fancy goldfish. I was super excited to see this post then read your comment. No work for my goldfish either. How big are your fancies? What kind?

Theyre Thai oranda and theyre massive, think orange sized bodies and even bigger fins. Not particularly slow swimmers either. I think this guy's just kind of a dick and he's only getting worse lmao.

Damn. If you can’t find anyone, my LFS I know has taken rescues before and will verify a suitable home for any takers. Lmk

What store is it? I was thinking of taking him to Uncle Neds in Millis if theyll give me store credit

What about taking him to tropical Isle in Framingham?

I’ve never tried taking a rescue there, how are they?

Not sure but I like them very much. You can also try Eric over at Petco in Allston. He is great and rescues himself. Good luck!!

If you're able to ship i have a whole school of dojo where he would thrive!

Dojo loaches really shouldn't be kept with goldfish. They do nibble on their tails if the goldfish is not a fast enough swimmer. They also do this with guppies and basically any fish that will partially fit in their mouths. I have six of them and they are amazing and have big personalities

I don’t think he’s a dick at all. I think that you never came across the info that they are super social, want him to stop? Get him a friend.
I ended up doing this and now everyone's happy! The goldfish's fins are completely healed and i have two awesome loaches now. thanks!!!
That’s awesome, let’s see a photo of the new friends!
