1~What type of fish is afflicted? ~ 3 inch Fantail goldfish, slightly bloated, swimming erratically (lying on the bottom earlier, now lying on it's side. Swimming in circles, bumping into things. shuddering/having a seizure or something)
2~What are your tank parameters? Unsire of all other parameters, temp is 22 C. 40% water change last night.
3~ How large is the tank? 10 gallon, set up since september, with Neon tetras since october. End of December, neons moved to a new tank and the 10 gallon sat empty (with water and plants but no fish) for about a month. Changed about 80% of the water before getting the goldfish, and have changed 40% 2 times since then.
4~What type of filtration are you using? Bio-wheel filter
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes? Just the one goldfish
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel? Changed 40% of water last night (with vacuuming). Usually do this 2 times/week.
7~How long have you had the fish? had the fish 1 week, acclimated by sitting the bag in the tank, for 20 minutes, then adding a bit of tank water to the bag, waiting another 10 mins, then releasing the fish.
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.? -got a live plant at the same time, old live plants got relocated with the tetras.
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? goldfish flakes
I think he may have eaten a rock, as he was poking around in the substrate as goldfish do and a few days ago he seemed to be trying to cough something out for a minute. This morning he seemed off, lying on the bottom and he is now lying on his side. I've moved him into a small tank of fresh water in case it was a water quality thing, but it doesn't seem to be helping
