Cheddar: classic or cliche?
Hello there
I know its not exactly a tropical fish, just in dire need of help!
Tank size: Small (about 8L)
tank temp: Room temperature
Change of water every: 2 weeks, about 2 jug fulls are taken out and replaced with treated water.
Living quite happilly in one of these cheap crappy tanks (as it is our first fish - please don't flame!) We were about to put it into a Biorb when suddenly he became dispondant.
We replaced the water and treated it as we had been doing previously, and then he got worse; he just sunk to the bottom.
He used to be able to swim up for food then would sink like a rock again, but now hes not even swimming up for food; he's just stuck at the bottom.
Before switiching tanks though, i just want to ensure he's well again. I was about to feed him a mushed up pea, but was also wanting to see if there was any one avaliable to diagnose whats wrong, and how he can be fixed.
Thanks very much in advance!
UPDATE: Tried feeding him a mushy pea, but he wasnt interested in eating.
