My little goldie has been floating on his side at the bottom of the tank today. I am very worried. Should I wait awhile and see if he turns upside right, or euthenize him. I can't stop crying and really need some help in figuring out what's wrong. I don't want him to suffer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mel

There's really nothing you can do to help it. I usually masuage (sp?) them if they have a stiff body.

Try doing a partial water change of 20-30% Make sure to
use a water dechlorinator and try to match the temp to the
tank water. Once you've done that, could you answer the
questions in the big box at the top of the page to help us
figure out what may be happening to your fishy.

The local pet store has a large pearlscale telescope eye goldfish who does the same thing. Best of luck!!
