telescope orange fish

Question
I had some pennies, a couple quarters and dimes, more of the pennies though and my telescope fish was fine for quite a while but now is acting like it is having siezures. Could it be from the copper, after so long of the coins being in the tank or possibly something else is going wrong with it? PLEASE HELP ME...... Thank you! Stacy

Answer
Hi Stacy,
 You should never put coins in a fish tank.   You need to take out all the coins and do 25% water changes every day for the next week.
