Answers:

is it a gold fish my gold fish are gold and black and they acted the same way I took a water sample to the pet store they said there was to much ammonia in the water.gold fish are dirty fish they produce lots of ammonia they told me to empty 3 gallons and put in 3 gallons if you have chlorine in your water you need to buy some chlorine remover its cheap and you can get it at walmart anyways do that about once a day for 3 or 4 days and clean their filter with water from the tank not tap water it washes away the good bacteria the fish need then add half a teaspoon of baking soda it will fix the pH in the water then your fish should get back to normal I had the same thing happen I did everything they said and my fish are back to normal.good luck.

He may be dying.There's really not much you can do.My kids put their dead fish in a small box and buried him in our garden.But most people just flush them!

why don't you take it to the vet, I have 2 fishes and one of them started to stay at the bottom the whole time, it turns out it had babies!

take it out away from the other ones. and see if it gets better soon if it doesnt than maybe nothing is wrong!!
