My Calico fantail lately has been sucking air after meals at the surface and struggles to swim to the bottom of the tank. Otherwise she eats well normal active behaviour.
I am unsure of feeding requirements now as all my goldies are over 1yr old now.
I have been feeding twice a day sinking pellets new era and Tetra premium food for fancies. I feed frozen blood worms occasionally and brimpshrimp live dafia as a treat veggies 3-4 times a week.
She seems to be OK after peas but I'm having to feed veg after every pellet feed.
Should I be lowering the feed to once a day now they are no longer juvenile.
Water stats ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrates 05-10. I tested y.day.
This calico is the female who gets the most breeding interest from the males, she gets chased a lot when spawning. No eggs yet this year. She had one lay last year.

Any advice cause its seems to be getting worse.
