Regular Member cattyb467 Posted January 17 Regular Member Share Posted January 17 I bought a fantail about a week ago. He seemed healthy at first, but about two days ago, he lost energy. his current symptoms are: red gills sitting on the bottom of the tank, not moving lethargic skinny The other goldfish are happy. He’s still eating and occasionally swimming around, but always goes back to the corner and just sits there. His belly is touching the rocks. I’ve treated the tank with Generalcure and melafix and my water specs all look good. Is there anything I can do? What does this sound like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
