After advice on here ive moved my goldfish (aged12) from a bowl to a large suare tank but it isnt eating.?

I had found it on the carpet after jumping from the bowl (dont know how long it had been there) so i got a tank with a lid. Its swimming around a lot more but theres what looks like skin thats come floating off it.
Answers:
Add a very small amount of non-iodized salt (plain or kosher salt; check the ingredients to be sure there's no iodine), like a pinch, to the water. A little bit of salt can help regulate your goldfish after a big move. Also, you might want to try a really high-quality food like Pro-Gold. You can find it at http://www.goldfishconnection.com... . He's probably a little bit stressed from his move, but he should recover.
