Old Italian bowlback mandolin I bought at an antique store yesterday has some cracks

Should I do anything to try and fix it or leave it as it is? I've played it and it still sounds great.

Need help identifying this behemoth

I've had this not so little guy for about three years now. I bought him from Petsmart mainly because he was all by himself, and I thought he looked unique compared to other fancy goldfish. This fish has since grown to be about 8.5-9 inches long from the mouth to the end of the tail, making it the largest fish I have ever owned. However, I have never been able to figure out what breed this thing is. I'm leaning toward fantail, but some of my orandas and ryukins have longer fins. The second pic is from when I first got him. I also need help identifying the sex.

How can I help this rose survive after being weed whacked?

Last week, my dad was using a weed whacker around one of our gardens. I recently planted a small rose bush and he didn't notice it and cut it all the way down. I thought it was dead, but I noticed some new growth coming from what's left of it. Should I do anything or let it grow on its own?

Possibly sick oranda

I've had this oranda for about 3 years now. He's always been a docile fish, but he's recently started hanging out in the bottom corner of the tank for hours at a time without moving at all. He barely even moves when I feed the tank. I'm worried it could be the early stages of dropsy, swim bladder disease, or another infection. He has three tank mates that are active and do not mimic this behavior. I did a 60-75% water change a couple days ago and this behavior did not change.
