Hello everyone.
Im super glad I found this site! We have one big snail who has taken to floating round the top of the tank for days. He is alive and well it seems as he does come out on a daily basis, I just dont see him attaching himself to anything. Is this okay? can he feed from up there? can he sink himself if he wants to? my bf says Im too worried but I just want to make sure its okay!
Secondly, we have 4 goldfish (we had five till two days ago ). About a week ago one of them started behaving strangely hanging around the top of the tank, then not moving off the bottom. he eventually started swimming in spirals, alternatively folding himself in half and then swimming like crazy. I went to the fish shop to try get him meds but by the time I got home he had died. I have no idea what happened. We had just changed the water (not unusual). we have a filter and a pump so they have plenty of oxygen. We have checked the ammonia and nitrate levels and they are both at 0. I am concerned for the other fish. They appear to be okay but are a little skittish. (Im wondering if my cat, who has shown no interest in them until the past few days has been terrorizing them!!!).
Anyone have any ideas what went wrong with poor fishie?
Thanks!!!
