So I went away for three days, got back wednesday night to this.
I have two fancy goldfish in a 55 gallon tank and 60gallon filter, they are fed every three to two days normally so I thought leaving them would be okay. Until I came home and saw my guy (ARI) upside down floating at the top---at first I thought he was dead! But he is NOT. He is breathing ( heavy )
I moved him to warmer hospital tank, but 1tsp of Epsom salt and tried giving him deshelled frozen peas--hand feeding him. I have to hold him and turn him right side up--he sucked in food but then spit it right out. The temp increase, so I put a airator to give some oxygen ..
He is very bloated so I thought swimmers bladder???
What to do!!! He is 3 1/2 years old
