Today as Tali and I were looking at her fishies. We noticed that both of her black moor goldfish had cataracts. Jonah, the big fat one, had them in both eyes and Dory, the smaller one, had it a little in just one eye.
As I was trying to find all six fish, all I could see were four fishies. Fiona (our smallest goldfish that we got from my high school reunion) and Aurora (our orange and white goldfish with a clear fancy tail fin) were no where to be found. I had asked Brian if he had found them dead or something and flushed them. He told me know so I kept searching for them. I still could not find them anywhere. I decided to observe the fish for a little bit to see if any of them were behaving oddly or aggressively. I didn't notice anything at first. I had Brian look to see if he could see anything. Well, he found Fiona floating up top hiding in the leaves of one of the plants with her tail fin missing. I just hope Tali did not witness any of that going on. I ended up finding Aurora in the ship once again with her tail fin missing. As I continued to observe the other fish, I noticed that both black moor fish (Jonah and Dory) were particularly aggressive. After I saw Jonah try to snip at Tiana's (another orange and white fish) tail fin, I decided to separate Jonah and Dory from Shrek and Tiana. I had to put Jonah and Dory in separate containers for fear they would kill each other. Fiona and Aurora are no more and Jonah and Dory will be taken back to the store. I just hope they survive long enough to make it to the pet store tomorrow in order to exchange them for two other fishes that won't turn cannibalistic.

Sounds like you do have some bullies. That's not good. Glad you found the other two, although they were not alive. Good luck.
Yeah, when I separated the two black fish and woke up this morning, they were both belly up. We still have two more (Shrek and Tiana) but we will not be adding any more fishies.
