Happy Fish Here
I believe Sun’s cap (wen) is so huge it is hard for him to swim upwards. He does swim to the top of the tank from time to time and it is quite a sight.
I’ve made a few changes to the tank by taking out the gravel and putting in some large rocks. I took out 15 gallons of water and replaced it with 15 gallons out of my wife’s tank. Her tank is completely cycled. Still my nitrites are a smidgen high.
Lucky me. I met a wonderful person in the town where I work, whom happens to be an expert at raising goldfish. She gave me some great advice and I have a lot of hope now.

This looks great! Yes Sun’s wen is very large, but now that there isn’t gravel it looks like he’s able to move around more comfortably.

Thanks Madi. Sun is really Boot Scootin now. I took all but two of the rocks out. Sun is all over the place.
