I picked out a calico fantail because it was pretty. I didn't like how it was hanging at the top of the tank, and did not swim and had the guy working there check it out. He said it looked fine.I wasn't so sure but brought it home.
the first day it just sat at the top of the tank. wouldnt eat. When it did try to swim it acted funny..like it couldnt control its up and downs. I thought maybe swim bladder problem. stopped food and tried peas. Wouldnt eat. It was looking pretty bad so I figured nothing lost and added fish zole to the tank. today was day 2 of the zole and it acts much better. I see a long white stringy thing in the tank and it just passed a brownish thing that may be poo. I really don't know squat about fish. I do not know whats wrong with it, but figure if I see improvements just keep doing what I am doing.? It did eat today and is swimming a bit.Thats a lot better then no movement for several days. Anyone have ideas of what I am dealing with.how many days of fish zole? thanks
