My Friend Needs HELP!!!!
hey guys just helping a bud that mailed me here at AA.Heres her story.
Well i got my 1st Koi at the fair, it was a tie die orange nd white but then lost all its color(very subtly it took about 6 months), it's eyes changed from orange to red to blue to blu nd r now silver also in this time,it was livin in a 5 gallon at my grandparents. a year later it was to big for the aquarium so I moved it 2 my 10 gallon with another fish I won that year(also presumed 2 be a koi) who was all white. the bigger 1 is named Aiko(shining star, jappanesse) the other Akiko(small flower) i know that they r both girls because once the tank heater went out nd they filled with eggs. just a few days ago the Akiko strted sort of jerking 1 way nd kind of wud use 1 fin more than the other as well as swimming lopsided. i thought that something might of happend with her getting stuck in the rocks or that some of the paint was shipping nd she ate some or something lik that. Aiko would only look at food nd wud stay by Akiko. I called my mom who was out nd told her 2 buy maybe 2 more fish because 4 some unown reason if 1 of my fish is left alone in the tank it stops eating nd dies.......
. well bout an hour later Akiko did the wierdest thing..... i tink it wud be consider burping... she opended her mouth nd out came this really big air bubble(she norm does this with smaller 1s). a few days later i went out nd bought 2 wat i tink r sarpas(thats wat it said i tink) wen i went 2 feed them the nxt mornin there were bubbles in da tank but they seemed 2 be in some sort of chemical(it looked lik some1 spit in the tank) there was also poop there 2, i fed the fish after i picked out all that stuff with a small net. any idea wat may be going on?
