PLEASE HELP! Worried about my shubunkin
hi,
i just got a new shubunkin goldfish about 3 weeks ago. He was living with a common goldfish who has recently died. We believe the other one died of swim bladder and as he was dying the shebunkin seemed to be trying to keep him upright and since the other one died his behaviour has changed. he likes to stay on the bottom although he always comes up to eat and his fins that are usually very floaty and big have sort of clamped together into three little bits, you can tell the whole fin is there and hasnt rotted away or anything like that, theyre just clamped together. is this due to stress or something that we can treat? i'll put a picture on later

It sounds like the new fish caught something from the other, perhaps an internal parasite or bacterial infection.
