Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / October 2004Sluggish fish
I brought in some of my pond fish for the Winter and found one that is very sluggish. It seems to struggle to swim and drops to the bottom and lays there. It ate when I fed them but it doesn't look well. There are no signs of surface disturbance on its scales and the gills look a little reddish but not much different than some of the others in my tanks. There was a lot of vegetation in my pond so I couldn't see all of the fish all of the time so I have no idea how long this fish has been like this. Any ideas? This is the first fish that looks like it is in jeopardy. Can someone recommend a good web site, book or article on fish diseases and maladies?

Who knows. But if you see my lost pup, please ping me! <A HREF="http://journals.aol.com/virginiaz/DreamingofLeonardo">http://journal s.aol.com/virginiaz/DreamingofLeonardo</A> Hi Tom I've found this site to be really good, and there's a fish health/disease forum http://www.goldfishparadise.com/ Good luck with your fish. I know what it's like as I lost one of my shubunkin after he came in from the pond, now one of the orfe babies isn't looking too great :-( Peter >I brought in some of my pond fish for the Winter and found one that is very >sluggish.
