Hello! New Member here!
I've become increasingly worried about the health of one of my two fancy-tailed Goldfish. I've had them for 10 weeks so far and I keep them in a roughly 30L tank. The tank has about 5L of water changed every 5 days and a complete clean out every month.
One of my fish, is about twice the size of the other. He's always been bloated and now is swimming and resting upside down much more often than he used to. He originally would do it for a few seconds before righting himself, I originally thought this constipation from overfeeding (I feed them roughly 10 small pellets a day). But now it's come to the point where he will lodge himself in a corner and float upside down. But otherwise he is fine, no growths, discolouration, or fin damage.
The other fish is fine. So I'm thinking it's a problem with the one fish and not the tank.
Is there hope for the Fish or are his days coming to an end?
Thanks in advance!
