My goldfish has just taken a turn for the worst. What can I do to save his life?
Please help!
Yesterday he was fine , woke up this morning and my 4" Common was bent towards the left, stationary , at the bottom of my tank.
No movement from any of his fins.
Not even flapping around with his tail.

Poor fishy
Something went wrong in your tank.
What kind of filter? Heater? What is your tank size?
You need a huge tank for these guys 40-55 Gal.
A good heater.
A filter that is strong. These guys are messy.
Did you over feed him?
Check your PH what kind of water conditioner did you use? When did you get him?
Research you pet before you get another one to avoid fishy deaths.

I hate to say this, but I think you have to let him go. Some things you could check are:
PH level
Oxygen Levels
Food
-you may just want to amp up the oxygen anyways just in case. Goodluck but Goldfish are really hardy so when they start going under, you just have to watch. Sorry again.
