Pearl Scale babies <3

HULLO! Here's Noss again  Right now I'm quarantining two beautiful little pearl scale children  A red one, and a red/white one  They're the smallest goldfish I ever had!! Just two small, small balls <3 They're at most 2cm long. I noticed that their fins are quite torn and all, since they arrived to the shop just yesterday. Needless to say, I'm treating them for fin rot, and during this time, I'll be feeding them the anti-bacterial medical food pre-soaked (THANK YOU, MINDE!!  ). They're both really perky and active otherwise, so I don't think this will be too hard to treat. Just thought it might be a good idea to keep a little "journal" about the treatment... just to make absolutely sure they'll be good. You all know how it ended with Claymore when I thought everything was under control  Water (for common decency): Temp: 21.2 degrees Celsius (I'll install my mini-heater) pH: 7.5 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10 Photos will come as soon as the two are healthy

Thanks everyone  As for today's update, still seem to be acting normally and active  Thought I saw some improvement in some of the rips, but who knows? d: Both are still eating without issues and seem really perky  No changes in water quality, pH = 7.5 ammonia = 0 (OR COULD IT BE 0.25?!?! Hard to tell.) nitrite = 0 nitrate = 10 I also decided to add a small photo!  They have two silk plants with them in the orb for now as well, they're just not visible from this angle  The one in the front is actually much smaller than the second one, and... I haven't decided any names yet  We're just calling them Orange and Toffee loosely d:

April, Oranda Lover: Thank you!!  Andrea: I'm trying to come up with some better names, but... I'm sorry to say it, Toffee has already stuck! xD It's a pretty cute and fitting name actually C: I'm just wondering about the little one, I don't think "Orange" is a very good goldfish name... For the water parameters!! Temp: 23 degrees Celsius pH: 7.5 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 10 All is well so far  On Thursday I'll change some water, clean the filter and add a new dose of meds
