Also, if anyone knows how I can fix my intake tube so this doesn't happen again (I also have a small Oranda) that would be really helpful!

I have already made several posts regarding my Black Moor and his health, as he is relatively new to the tank and has had a rough time with eating and being a little floaty. I've naturally watched over him the whole time and while he has drifted close to the filter, he never got caught as he...

I had just done a large water change, probably about 60-70%, which is why the nitrate was probably so low. It's a 20 gallon tank, and I usually change about 20% of the water every other day. The ammonia did spike for a while, but it seems to have gone back down after about a week of adding the...

Another thing- I didn't soak any of the foods before feeding, I didn't know about that before! But I definitely will start doing that

I suspect that something may be wrong with the water that I'm not catching, my Oranda has been bottom-sitting for a few hours now and only takes a few minutes to swim around. My Moor doesn't seem to lean to the side or upside down, but he head stands a tiny bit, and he spends most of his time in...

I added a Black Moor to my tank about a week ago, and have tried desperately to get him to eat. He was unable to get flakes from the top of the tank, mainly because I think his eyes are especially large for his size. I stuck him in a separate container and put pellets in, but once he ate them...

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try the spinach, but after a 60% water change, he's swimming around as normal, so I think the ammonia was really affecting him

Alright, I'll try that. But my other fish seems to be doing just fine, can the ammonia affect one and not the other?

The tank is 20 gallons, with one tank mate, an Oranda. They're both about two inches, so I will upgrade when they're bigger. Ammonia is .5, Nitrite is 0, and Nitrate is a little below 5. I just changed about 30% of the water yesterday. I've just noticed that sometimes the Moor drifts to the side...

I made a new addition to my tank yesterday by adding a black moor! And as happy as I am about it, he doesn't seem to be quite right. He sits on the bottom of my tank with his head down and body up, anywhere from 45 degrees to completely vertical, and sometimes he lists to the side, though he...

So I've had my red and white oranda for about two or three weeks now, and I have recently added a zebra nerite snail and elodea to the tank. When I purchased the fish, the shop owner said that the oranda had been on a diet that included elodea, but I didn't have the time or money to go purchase...

Thanks to everyone for the advice! My fish finally got used to the light and is swimming around all day! Thanks so much!

So my light was off for three days, but I turned it back on and he swam straight back to his hiding spot and hunkered down without much swimming around. I'm not sure what to try next! :(

Okay, I will try that! Thanks so much!

I just got a baby Oranda five days ago, and he used to just hide in the back of my tank behind some plants, but he's taken to swimming around a tiny bit, though it's always near the edges, and always towards the bottom. My tank is a fully cycled 20 gallon. When I turn the light off at night...
