Hi there,
We have a comet (Randy) which has recently become very lethargic, he tends to sit down by the side of the filter where the current of the tank is weakest and when he does move he seems to mainly be letting the current of the tank carry him.
He had a swim-bladder issue a couple of weeks back which we treated and thought we had resolved, but he is exhibiting very similar symptoms to another fish (an oranda named Trey) who also had swim bladder issues, which again we thought we'd treated but shortly afterwards came down with dropsy and despite our best efforts unfortunately passed a week ago.
Upon trey contracting dropsy I knew something was seriously wrong, so I went and bought a disease clearant and water neutralizers and also a test kit to make sure nothing was ab normal, which according to the kit it is not.
I am now extremely concerned for Randy's health as I really do no want to loose another of our fish.
All help and advice is appreciated to try and improve this little comets life, and hopefully stop him following his friend Trey out of our tank
