Question

big fish (upside down) i have 2 red cap orandas in a water bowl. i brought them 15 days ago.
since today morning, 1 of the fish(bigger one) is staying upside down, but i am sure its not dead as it moves once in 5 min or so.. and also today when i gave them the feed, both of them didn't have it.. n the smaller 1 isn't eating from 2 days, though it is active.. what should i do.. are they sick ..?? why aren't they eating?

Answer
Aditi,

Yes they are sick. The first thing to do it get them out of the bowl and into a tank where they belong. The tank can be no smaller than a 30 gallons and must have a filter. Do not feed these fish for 2 days. On the third day feed them cooked shelled peas and then fast again for 2 days. I think they are suffering from swim bladder disease. Let me know how they are doing in about 5 days.
