Hi everyone,
I noticed tonight that my darling Cottage Cheese has been swimming around frantically in circles. She also seems to be tilting a bit sideways.
I panicked and completely changed her water, but she's still acting like this. If she is still like this tomorrow morning, I will be taking her to the vet, but does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this?
I don't know much about the technicality of fish, I'm just a casual owner. I've had her for about 5-6 years and I love her dearly. She just stays in a standard 4 gallon tank. That's it. Nothing fancy inside. I have noticed though within the past few months, she'll sometimes bang around on the sides of her tank, but I never gave this any concern until now, as perhaps it could be related? Her eyes also started to appear foggy maybe a year or two ago, but again, I never gave it much concern since she seemed fine otherwise. I assumed it was nothing.
I'm not sure if you can embed videos here, but I linked two videos I uploaded to instagram so you all can have a visual..
