My fishes are about to die! What should I do so they can be happy and eat food again?

Question

I'm sad!! *cries a bit*

I went on a trip to DisneyLand, and I told my uncle to feed it, but when I came homw from DisneyLand it was about to die! He said he fed it perfectly!

Answer 1

Odds are very good that it's nothing a 50% water change won't fix. Maybe a little over fed and the ammonia spiked. Try a water change and check the temperature of the tank. If that doesn't do it in a day or so, then repost the question with far more details about your tank and fish and maybe we can help more.

Answer 2

First off, don't blame your uncle. He was trying to do you a favor and I am sure he feels bad enough.

If they are all swollen, it may be dropsy, try giving them a squashed pea. If they have ich or another parasite, treat them. Raise your temperature in the tank to 80, add 1 tbs salt per 5 gallon. If they are floating upside down...well, ....

Answer 3

keep the fish tank clean, let them have enough oxygen in the water, such as: water fish pump. Give them regular fish food (once a day).


U should always look out for fish, there VERY sencetive.

Answer 4

you need to add a few more details like how may fish do u have ? the fish type? how big is the tank? the ph of the tank and also the ammonia level these things can be very toxic to your fish . also do they have any kinds of diseases on their bodies that u can see? sorry to say this but if your fish are truly dying theres not much you can do for them its probably to late

Answer 5

What have you done to make them near death? I'm not a mind reader, but I can guess you overfilled a small bowl or tank with goldfish.

Answer 6

change the fish tank water, put water conditioner, make sure the nemonia level is good, then just make sure that the fish doesn't have any disease

Answer 7

your uncle probably overfed... or you overloaded you tank



and amanda C, nemonia? it's ammonia
