I wish I knew what was wrong with my poor fish! Maybe someone out there can help me?
She’s about 3 years old, a fantail goldfish. I’ve tried several things to try and help her out already but nothing seems to be working. I’m almost at the conclusion that maybe she just enjoys swimming upside down!
The pH levels in the tank are fine, I replace some of the water each week, i’ve tried feeding her peas incase she has swim bladder but it doesn’t seem to help, although she does seem to enjoy woofing them down, that is if her right side up companion doesn’t get to them first. I even went so far as to buy them a bigger tank recently, thinking she might have been cramped, but alas, she’s more upside down than ever!
I know she’s capable of swimming right side up, I sometimes catch her doing just that. Is it possible that she just prefers to swim upside down?
