Coby Sight Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) My new ranchu goldfish that I bought around a month ago has been inactive and he tips to the side when he isnt swimming. He eats perfectly fine. He only swims if I walk near the pond or tank I have him in Ph is 7.6 Ammonia and nitrite are 0 ppm By the way every other fish is thriving except this guy Edited July 17, 2023 by Coby Sight More info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Possible he has swim bladder what I would do is fast for a couple of days as swim bladder can be caused the fish over eating and the stomach putting pressure on the swim bladder or constipation and do Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant to help relieve pressure on the swim bladder give an update in 5 days if your seeing no improvement @Coby Sight Edited July 18, 2023 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coby Sight Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Thank you. Should I raise the water temperature on my tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I would just leave the temperature were it is and it would be worthwhile adding an extra air @Coby Sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Sorry to hear that I would keep a close eye on your other goldfish just in case something other then swim bladder is going on @Coby Sight Edited July 18, 2023 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
