QuestionI have a gold fish, not really big. I woke up this morning and found her at the bottom of the fishtank. her mouth was open like they do when they yawn or stretch their mouths open. She appears to be chocking but im not sure. The stones I have in there ive had for three years now and theyre just the average normal fishtank stones you get. Could she be choking on a stone. and if so how do i help her - what do i do. She seems to be breathing and moving her eyes as a reponse but finds it difficult to swim as the weight in her mouth seems to be dragging her down.
I'd be very greatful for your help. Thank you very much for your time.
AnswerHi Amal;
It is probably choking on a small rock. You will have to remove it. Here is a site that can help you with that;
