Guest Vaughn auzenne Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I have a pearlscale goldfish and it seems to not be able to float it will swim around and then when it stops it falls right down to the bottom. I fasted it for 2 days ,I am feeding it a few peas now . It has actually been hanging out at the bottom of it's original 80 gallon sometimes all day but when it is time to eat it would get up . Now I have it in a medical tank. It does not flip upside down or anything like that. It is very stable but when it is not moving it's fins to swim it falls right to the bottom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing is a shallow tank and if it was me I would us Metro or Silver to help fix this. Is the fish really trying to eat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
