So your goldfish fin is bitten off well that's fine just pay more attention to him or her when shes eating and what her actions are don't worry but maybe you might want to separate her or him to another tank well he might have a 10% of dieing
Hope he or she is ok :)
Goldfish do not have legs. Goldfish do have fins, although the number of fins will depend on the type of goldfish.
a goldfish uses his/her fins for direction when it swims.
fins fins
A goldfish has about 1,500 bones inside of it.
no they don't loose there fins if they do they die.
Well goldfish move their fins of course.
The fins develop on a goldfish fry after about a couple days after they are hatched. Until then, they are not free swimming and look like a tadpole.
The common goldfish because its fins are not too delicate
There are many fins on a goldfish that act in stabilization. The two major ones are the pelvic and pectorals. The anal fins also help in stabilization but they don't play as large of a role in it.
It is very badly damaged and will probably die. -----improved answer ---- that's actually incorrect, unless there are signs that there was a fin to begin with, in which case it is probably fin rot... but if you are talking about those goldfish that swim super awkward and have no fins on their back, then you are talking about a celestial goldfish. some bubble eyed goldfish also come with no fins.
Goldfish are naturally attracted to rotting fins, so if your goldfish has rotting fins get a cure for it or change your water. Or, in the other case, if that goldfish is bullying its tankmate, move the bully or victim to another tank or return the bully to the pet store.
You should see that the female goldfish appears fatter than usual due to the eggs she is carrying. The male will have white spots on his front fins and gill covers and will pay the female a lot of attention chasing her around the tank or pond. when the the goldfish have babies?
