Hi,
I am new to this forum but really need help with my Pearlscale gold fish, Roger. He is about 2-3 months old (from the aquarium). He lives in a 20L tank with a black Moore which is perfectly fine. Lately I have noticed he has been disinterested in food, he is also quite bloated. When I started to realise I took to google and thought he may be constipated so I gave him some tinned pease. However, he hasn't really touched them. I've separated him in his own tank to see if he eats or not, and I've noticed the tiniest little poo floating. Tonight however, he seems to be lying on the bottom sideways, and at once almost upside down, like its a struggle for him to swim. Then he just turns up and sits on the bottom like usual. He seems to have some red colouring on his scales, I thought this may have been a rash from the gravel in the bottom of his tank as he can't seem to swim properly? Any help would be much appreciated ASAP!!!
Thanks guys!
