I have had my "fan tail" FatBoy for almost 2 years now. I have a 15 Gal. tank with him and 3 other small goldfish in it. He has had problems with swim bladder but now he is lying on the bottom of the tank, still very much alive but his swimming is irratic and kinda like backflips. I stopped feeding yesterday. He doesnt show any signs of typical fish diseases. He is curved like an already dead fish but keeps on trying to swim. I feel soooo bad. I have a 30gal. whisper filter system and have removed all gravel and fake plants because I couldnt control the levels of the water and was told removing that stuff would help. My levels are all reading "normal" now but he seems on deaths door. My other fish seem absolutly perfect...Oh yea when I say lying on the bottom of the tank I mean on his side..looks dead till you get close then poof he starts swimming but as I said its more like sommersalts and spiralling...Please help!!!!!
