  • Fancy goldfish wont swim .. just sits there. Help!

    I have many years experience with cichlids etc. but my friend has a goldfish and I don't know whats wrong with it.  It disappeared over the weekend but I found it stuck in the decoration.  He swam out and just settled on the bottom.  He does not really struggle or try to swim he just sits there.  No spots, white patches, open sores, fin rot, or anything.  He just sits there.  Two other goldfish and a cory cat are acting fine.  He was acting this way on Friday before he hid in the decoration.  He did try to eat Friday.  I'm going to do a 50% water change and wait for replies.

    If possible I would try to quarantine him in a separate container

      When was it added to the tank?
      What size is the tank?
      Where did that goldfish come from?
      Are the others picking on it?

      Would ask for parameters but you say the others are doing fine.
      700g Mini-Monster tank

          O.k. I'm taking this to the experts.  I found a goldfish forum here.
