Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and to fish. (Ask me about dogs and I am good, but I am learning quickly how little I know about my finned friends.)
We keep a small tank of glofish and we have had it for about a year and a half. We have, in that time, lost two fish. One, about a year ago, had big red tummy, and was dead the next day. Another, about a month ago, just turned up dead in the gravel one day with no warning.
My last little member of the original family looks like she is close to joining her friends. She is swimming on the bottom of the tank and barely. She is on her side. She has a strange shape to her too. Sort of like a hunched over old lady if that makes sense. She is about 2 years old which seems a little young to be calling it a day for old age. She has always been a hider. She only ever came out from under the ornaments to eat and swim around a bit.
I know another fish in the tank struggles with being plugged up and perhaps this is her issue too.
Is there anything I can do to keep her with us or does it sound like her demise cannot be stopped?
Thanks for your time.
Katie
