My friend got her goldfish about 3 days ago, but is sick now, she said it was swimming sideways/along the ground like it couldnt get up. It only stopped hiding behind its plants last night. Any idea why its like this?
Well…
As I said to you t’other day, sounds like the poor little thing is stressed – may well have had a heart attack. It sounds like it wasn’t bought from the best stock in the first place, then if it suffered a long journey home as well, it hasn’t got much of a chance.
It could have swimbladder issues, but sounds more like a stress-induced heart attack.
Let us know how it got on though

<p>It’s a normal looking goldfish, yellow colour. Tank was just setup the night before, think she added dechlorinator that the shop provided.</p>
<p>Fish was in the bag for quite a while, fairly long metro journey back.</p>
<p>It seems to be ok now! <img src=)
