help fish upside down
 

my fish is swimming upside down and i dont know why,yesterday morning i noticed that the pump has stopped working,could this be the problem ? i have to get a new pump tommorrow anyway,but i dont know if this is the cause,we have 2 coldwater fish in the tank but only 1 is swimming upside down,

Ever thought it may be an Australian Fish?????:)

Re: help fish upside down
 

Try putting clean water in a washing up bowl and putting them in that over night until you get a pump. the clean water will have oxygen in...enough for over night.

slinky good advise or change 60 percent of water in tank

Re: help fish upside down
 

yes that should do the trick to. the new water will give enough oxygen til you get another pump. hope he lives jacky. I had a fish death at work last week. I saved one but sadly he died on the monday :( gutted.....poor lucky.

Re: help fish upside down
 

changing some of the water seems to have helped,he's belly down for now,must have been lack of oxygen,thanks all

Re: help fish upside down
 

Blinking heck forget the washing up bowl...... get a bucket :eek::eek: he's a big fishy jacky............ poor thing he will be really struggling without a pump.
