Boiled and De-Shelled peas are going to be your best bet at this point. Here is a good video describing the process of preparing them:

Yeh thankyou that’s wot I’ve seen it was after 3 or 4 days just wanted to ask on here for anybodys advice
It is also important to make sure your water quality is pristine, as that will give the fish the best chances of healing. Do you have the ability to do water tests?

Wot do u recommend I get to do them myself I’ve never done them b4 I’ve always took them to my local garden centre also I have 9 fish the others are all ok
I would reccomend an api master freshwater kit. ( the pond kit exclude nitrate so I would stick to the freshwater ) They are about $30 which is more than reasonable for a quality test kit that will last for a year or more.
