I have two fancy goldfish in a 60litre tank.Three days ago one of them started spiralling rapidly around the tank and then lying on the bottom on it's side.the first two days it seemed to recover late afternoon and then next morning revert to the erratic behaviour.I have done the three water tests all of which seem OK.Can anyone help?

Goldfish can sometimes just get "fright".....they "freak out" and it can spread to other fish sometimes.
As for laying on its side, maybe its tired from swimming so fast or fraking out so much, or could be a swim bladder issue.
Im not sure what to tell you....... make sure the environment around the tank is peaceful, and give some kind of nightlight and maybe turn the lights on at 9am so its already awake and light out, because turning on the lights can cause fright.
