Is my fish about to die2007-11-24 23:37:26

ask a pet specialist at like petco or petsmart

really cant tell, maybe it is pregant and gonna have babies or maybe he got scared from one of the other fish. good luck and hope your fishy will be ok.

---

take a temp reading and give a shot of good ol Jack Daniels whiskey, and tell it to get plenty of rest and drink a lots of fluids.

i doubt it.. i have this fish that looks like it stops breathing and it lays there belly up floating at the top of the tank, its still alive. its been doing it for over six months. ive even contemplated flushing the thing!! dont know why i havent yet.what do you reckon??

---

yeah he's probably gunna go, but a friend of mine had 2 one that latterly floated on it back on the top and did this for years the other sank to the bottom and came out only to eat.

---

Well the truth is it prolly isnt hiding behind that rock, sometimes the temperature gets too cold and suddenly changes and that doesn't always shock all the fish in the tank. but I have never heard of a fish changing colors, but usually when a fish stays at the bottom of the tank it could mean " to the toilet bowl for u : ( "

ps: member to keep ur tank klean

---

He's cool until he starts floating at the top.

---

make him eat alot and if he gets fat dont feed him alot and that will change his color back and he wont be fat anymore but i would say if u dont start doing osmething he is going 2 die

---

he is probally dying sorry you can flush him or throw him in the lake for others to eat

---

could be pregnant, could be sick, could be dying, could be weird.

i'd suggest getting one of those floating tank infirmaries, seclude it from the others for a couple of days and see how it does.

if it looks like it's going to die, please do no flush your fish. it is much more humane to freeze them. they die much quicker.

(have you tested the ph in your tank?)

don't worry it sounds like ur gonna have fry.(BABIES) how long has this been happening ? if its not a female..end its suffering,put it in a baggie put it in the freezer and itwill go to sleep peacefully.hope this helps good luck!

Take out the sick fish and put him in a different fish tank with fresh water and a filter.
