My Goldfish is laying at bottom of tank and still breathing whats wrong2007-11-24 23:39:13

I have found that the only way I could keep goldfish is in a filtered tank. If you are keeping a fish in a bowl, I've had really good luck with Betas.

Good luck to you.

Your goldfish is laying at the bottom of the tank because he is eather sick or he is sleeping

---

Goldfish sleep you know. Most fish sleep at night, So your fish is either sleeping or might be dying.

It's about to die, it's true because all my fish that died had either fin or tail rot, parisites, didn't eat anymore, or layed on the side and slept almost the whole day or slept more then usual. You should go to a store to get a medication to treat it .

Water quality is usually the main problem when a fish's condition

changes abruptly. If you haven't done so recently, you should perform an immediate 25% water change.

The next thing to do is make sure you have the highest water quality possible. This would mean 0 ppm of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates; all of which you can test using a test kit or by having your local pet store test them for you. Don't add any more fish until you've had your water tested. If any of these levels are too high, you should do an immediate 25% water change. If your levels of ammonia are high, three 25% water changes over the course of a week may help.
