Hi everyone,
A classic asking for advice post - my fancy goldfish has not been right for a couple of days and I’ve been trying to help him but no signs of improvement as of yet he is just sat at the bottom of the tank, not heavy breathing but not willing to swim around the tank at all. No visible signs he is injured (no redness or ammonia burns)
I have a 30L tank, and had him (fancy goldfish) for nearly a year. I’ve been completing 25% changes since he has seemed off a few days ago, and now water parameters seem fine but he’s not seeming any different. Also haven’t been feeding him much, I tend to feed him once every other day, once a day maximum as I fear of overfeeding. Tried feeding him a pea today which he spat out (he’s a bit of a diva).
Things that have changed recently - I changed his filter a week and a half ago however I also did this when I changed his tank before and he didn’t react like this. The tank weirdly seemed to get quite dirty after this change but I kept on top of gravel hoovering and have been changing the water like I say.
Any advice would be much appreciated, he’s seen me through some tough times at university and is a treasured pet so I’ll do anything to help him.
