A couple of things, if goldfish "cooked" in the water, then its too hot. It would be great if you offerred some real information is you want help. Like take the temps, all of them, including the water. Then folks could actually have some idea as to what is going on.

You thoughts about goldfish, are also not very varanid. That is, people have food preferences, You know, I love mexican food, but sushi, not so much.

Varanids, eat anything that falls into their range of diet. and Salvators eat fish, frogs, shellfish, rodents, birds, snakes, eggs etc. What monitors LIKE is a full stomach. Thats what pleases them.

So if any monitor is reluctant to eat what it normally eats, then something is WRONG.

So you may think you monitor LIKES pinkies and not goldfish, when in reality, its being picky because its conditions are not right.

Normally a healthy water monitor will eat fish, rodents all I mentioned above, and your hand, your shoe, your dog, your cat, your mom. And your sisters ugly arse bf. And want more. Thats what they actually do. If they are not like that, then something is off.

The question now becomes WHAT is causing that monitor of yours to be picky. And please, do not feel like WE ARE BLAMING you. Its all of our jobs to support our varanids to a point they are as normal as possible.
