Fish Crazy
Hello friends,
I just wondered if any of you have had experience with old fish. I have a moonlight gourami who must be about five now and for the last two weeks he's been pretty up and down. I've found him on the bottom of the tank quite regularly unable to swim, I noticed he had a torn fin so i treated witth melafix and it seems to be healing well. He is a little raggedy but he is rather old. At times he can happliy swim about like his usual self but then it's like he gets too tired so gives up and just lays on the bottom of the tank. In these moments i've put him in a net so he can rest and be nearer to the surface of the water too.
If anyone can offer any advice i would be really grateful. He's a lovely fish and the last remaining fish from my first lot of fish ever and ever since then i've really been in to this hobby. I suppose we have history and if there's anything i can do to make him more comfortable i want to do it.
Thanks again
