Question
HELP!!! Yesterday morning when I left for work the fish was fine. I get home and almost all of his scales are gone. he sometimes swims around a little but mostly sits on the bottom. He isn't breathing fast or anything. It just seems like he doesn't have any energy. Can you please help me.

Answer
Hi Joe,
It sounds like your fish has ammonia poisoning. This can be caused by an uncycled tank or poor water quality. Do a water change of 30% and add some aquarium salt. Are there any other fish in there with him that may have bullied him?
If so you need to put the fish in a separate tank.

Regards,
Chloe.
