I just come home and hes like this.. when I think about it for the past week or 2 he has been acting kind of sluggish, and not showing a HUGE interest in food like he used to...
Ive had him, another one just like him, and a little fantail in a 55 gallon for about 3 monthes....
Hes a carnival fish that has been around since last july...
I keep up with my water changes and take out about 30% when I change the water...
The other 2 fish are acting completely normal... I hope this doesnt happen to them two...
He is like bent, he seems like hes stuck that way, hes just floating at the top now. I know it seems wrong to just leave him like that but I dont have stuff to euthanize him and Im not even sure how so Im just going to leave him I guess...the way he is right now im sure he will be dead by the time I come home tonight... and I dont think I could ever "slap him against the ground" or "chop him in half"... i can not do it...
I dont have any other tanks to put him in right now.. and whatever he has theres a big chance the other fish have it to so removing him for his last few hours isnt a big deal in my opinion...
once he passes im going to do a 50% water change
Anybody have any idea what could have caused him to get bent like this and get stuck that way??
