Your fish will die soon. Sorry

Answer 4

That happened to one of my fish once. It died shortly after deciding to float on one side at a weird angle. It still ate and stuff for a little while though :S

Answer 5

I never like to call a vet, their medicine will cost more than buying a new fish which i think it's not worth it. If you fish has swim bladder or any other diseases, go to petstore and buy a Stress Zyme, i use 20-30 mL per 10 gallons of water when my fish is really sick. They worked fine on my fish. If you put a lot, it should cure in 2-4 days. If you put too much, like 100 mL per 10 gallons of fish, it might kill your fishes. I tried it with AquaSafe conditioner, that brand sucks, it actually killed my betta fish.

Answer 6

Well i would say just 2 call a vet or a fish expert to see whats wrong...

Maybe it means that your fish is gonna die soon...

Hopefully not... But that might be what it means...

This always works if you want too check if its living. hold the fish and quickly take it out of the tank and look at it closely. see if the mouth is moving. if it is living then the mouth will move because it will cause the fish to try to breath more harder . if it is dead it will not move its mouth.
