Black Moor

[Ralice]

Hi, I have 2 black Moors one of which is doing well but the other is staying at the top of the tank and the fin on top of the body is laying flat as are the fins on the side of the body (except when he swims) Does anyone know if there is anything wrong or is he just adapting to his surroundings - I put a chopped up pea in the tank and that seems to have perked up his movement but the fin is still flat, can anyone give me some advice?
Thank you

What are your water parameters? Tank size? Any more fish in there? How often do you change your water and how much? What is your feeding schedule? What foods do you feed them?

Hello! Welcome to Aquariacentral! We're always happy to see more goldfish keepers here.

We'll definitely need the information Lupin asked you for before we can determine what is making them sick. Give us a list of those specifications and that will help us figure out what's wrong.
