Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / December 2004goldfish in a coma - maybe strarving :(
Ive just got back from a 3 day trip to find one of my two goldfish looks almost dead! :( It's laying at the bottom of the tank, eyes still open, gills slowly flapping, but looks like it's got absolutely no energy at all. every so often it come to life for about a second, but then just sinks again. I was wondering if it's starved - I put a holiday feeder stone in before i left, but it didnt really dissolve... the other fish is fine, but it's a lot bigger. please please help! will she die? :'( >Ive just got back from a 3 day trip to find one of my two goldfish >looks almost dead! :( [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >please please help! will she die? :'( They won't starve for weeks.

Do a big water change. Agreed. Something happened in that tank. Is only one fish exibiting the symptoms? Can you give specs on the tank, inhabitants, and water parameters? In the interim, I agree a good-sized water change (perhaps 25%) won't hurt, and will help. Use treated tap water or RO water. I agree, GF dont starve, but those stones do weird things to tanks. do some big water changes. Check water parameters including ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH and temperature.
