It hasn't been eating and only gets up occasionally we had another fish in the tank which died a week ago. I think this and the current fish had a fight which led to the death of the other one.My fish has only been acting wierd since this time.

Test your aquarium water, or take it to be tested at a petstore (most do it for free.) The levels should be Ammonia-0, Nitrites 0, and Nitrates (if you have a cycled aquarium) 0-30.
If any of those levels are higher, you probably had your tank cycle with the fish in it, which killed the other one and made the one in the post sick...

The water you're finding out to purchase, is it opposite Osmosis filtered? If thats the case it ought to be inflicting issues. The water has been filtered to get rid of each and all the dissolved solids, alongside with the mineral buffers that help save the pH stable. So the organic organic and organic action in the tank will without delay drop the pH. then you definately've further an Alkaline buffer and it has all of sudden swung lower back to a intense pH. No ask your self the fish are turning out to be somewhat under pressure. try your faucet water lower back and ensure you employ a water conditioner and it would be fantastic. in the adventure that your faucet water is extremely troublesome and intense pH then you definately ought to blend it with the R/O filtered water and get something clever on your fish. additionally - fairly than hectic too lots approximately pH, what are the different water parameters? Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate could be all out of wack in a sparkling tank and are lots greater possibly to reason issues than a extremely incorrect pH. Ian

Sorry, but your fishing may be dying. He will be dead eventually. You ought to take him out soon as he is gone as the other fish will eat him and your tank will get dirty.

have you changed the water? anytime a fish dies you need to change the water. when fish die it causes bacteria to go crazy that could eventually poison everything else alive in the tank. it might help if after you change the water you get your fish a new friend to swim with too.

what kind of fish is your fish?
well let me tell you if your fidh is lying on its side most of the day like that then most likely it has a tumor and thats the reason most fish die... the only way you can really treat it is make sure the water is room temp. not warm and feel it daily...

Your fish may be injured internally and slowly dieing. You might call a vet to see if there is something you can put in the water to help it heal.
