Question

i ve had an oranda fish for about yrs she has been sinking


Sent to Pet Experts January 09, 2006 10:00 p.m.

I've had an oranda fish for about 2yrs. She has been sinking to the bottom of the tank. The first time it happened I read that it could be possibly the fish food. I switched from pellets to flake food and she seemed to recover. Recently, she has just been hanging around the bottom of the tank. It has been a month now that she has just been hanging down there. Sometimes she's on her belly and then her side and just lays there without moving. She tries hard to swim to the top of the tank and then just sinks to the bottom like a rock.
I don't know what to do at this point. I tried medicating the water but that didn't help. I am at a loss right now. I don't want to loose her. Please help!!!!!!

Optional Information:
Breed: oranda goldfish

Already Tried:
medicating water; changing pet food
