Question

Patches on the bottom Hi.
I have two goldfish, a Black Moor and a Calico Telescope, and up until about 2 days ago they have both been acting fine and like their usual selves. Well about two days ago, the Calico started sitting on the bottom of the tank, not on it's side but upright. I thought he might be sick so I checked out the water and everything was normal like it should be. I even did a partial 25% water change to make sure it was fine. He acted a little better but today he is back on the bottom and he doesn't move very much, if at all. I was wondering if you could help or anything?

Answer
Hi Maddison,
Unfortunately that doesn't look good. You said you did a 25% water change -- I assume that you do these regularly? You should be changing 25% of his water once a week, every week, to keep him happy and healthy. Have you been doing that?
