One of my fish is swimming upside down and keeps getting stuck at the bottom?

Question

Is it to late to save it or should I put it out of its misery?

Answer 1

he is dying put him out of hid misery or he will kill all the other fish in the tank with disease

i would remove him from the tank into something else but put some of the tank water with him and also feed him

Answer 3

This happened to my fancy goldfish the other day. He didn't swim well and he kept getting stuck in the filter intake so I took him out, and kept him separate.. He died later that day. I still don't know what hap pined :(

Your fish will unfortunately be passing away quite soon. Depending on his age, he could have a parasite or a disease. Please do your other fish a favor and more them away from him. They could get terribly ill too. He isn't suffering, just taking natures course. Leave him be and wish the poor dear good luck. You can't save him, but I wouldn't flush him or anything. Make his last hours the best. Flushing him will cause so much stress and I don't think you want that for him. Once he is in a little isolation tank, I would do a water change on your other tank. Change 25-50% of the water in the tank. Use plenty of water conditioner and make sure your other fish are disease free.

I promise your fish will be very peaceful until he passes on. Sorry :(

I do have an idea though. Try feeding him. If he eats, he may get better! Fish do not always die when they get sick like this, but they can. Eating food is the biggest sign to staying alive. Keep feeding!!

Answer 5

I have 7 fish.  This has happened  to me before.  Its mean that your fish is dying.  The best thing to do is if you have other fish move the sick fish away from the other fish.
