Regular Member strangerfish Posted January 21, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 21, 2019 i know this sounds like a stupid question but i’m worries and don’t know what to do!! i bought 4 goldfish yesterday and they all seem to be fine so i don’t think it’s a water issue however my little black fish dolly is being really weird, staying at the bottom of the tank (usually in far corner) floating upside down/on her side, very jerky movements and erratic twitches etc, sometimes doing a random v fast jerky loop the loop thing, am i doing something wrong? is she just adjusting to her new environment? it doesn’t seem very normal :( im very worried any advice appreciated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
