Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello,
My goldfish is in a 16 gallon tank. He is about 2 inches long. He developed small brown spots around his mouth, eyes, and his back (towards his head). I did a water test and everything came back okay. He would just sit very still in the water ... not moving very much at all. I went to PetSmart and was given "Tetra Lifeguard all-in-one-treatment". I put the tablets in the water and my fish a few hours later is now swimming very strange. He now will sometimes swim vertically.... then he floats upside down, falls to the bottom of the aquarium... and then swims up to the top of the water. He does this a few times and then stops ... again just sitting at the top of the tank. I noticed when he was upside down he has small red spots around his under-gills and around his mouth/chin area. Please help... I don't want to lose my goldfish!!!! ANY help would be appreciated!!!
