Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / March 2004G-F swimming on his side
hello! I have 3 goldfish in a 30L tank (sorry I dont know how much it means in gallons and yes I know that this is realy not enough for the 3 of them). I ve noticed smthing weird : one of them is swimming not really verticaly, I think with an angle of 15-20 degrees with the vertical. He(or she I dont know) has begun to do so a few days ago. He's not swimming so all the time, maybe only the half of the time. If someone know what it means, could you please help me? Thank you! (please if you answer me try to speak in a simple way because english is not my mothertongue) :o) > hello! > I have 3 goldfish in a 30L tank (sorry I dont know how much it means [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thank you! (please if you answer me try to speak in a simple way > because english is not my mothertongue) :o) 30L ~= 7-8 gallons. Looking carefully is it actually only one of the fish or all of them? Goldfish will position themselves with respect to the position of the strongest light. I've got one tank in the fish room where the goldies all swim at a 15 degree angle when the tank light is off but somebody is reading in the chair (with a reading light) next to the tank... Beyond that, a water change certainly wouldn't hurt... -D  Signature"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." -Herm Albright > Looking carefully is it actually only one of the fish or all of them?

Oh yes of course! thank you for the hint. but I already know that, I change every week a third of the water. and actually I found last week a 100L tank so I will change for it this month, my goldies will certainly be happier! I did not tell them yet, I hope they will sing me something when they'll know that! (Are your goldies singing sometimes too? mines are good singers I'm very proud of them...) :o) :oP :o> thank you! >> Goldfish will position themselves with respect to the position of the >> strongest light.

There is a problem if it is caused by disease or environmental issues. As for singing? Mine do occasionally, usually just before my wife says I've had too much and puts me to bed. -D Signature"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." -Herm Albright |
