Does your fish have any history of being ill?
How old is your fish (approximately)? 2- 2 1/2
So about two weeks ago we found that cat fur floating in the fish tank, assuming the cat had tried to get at the fish.
We changed his water completely and he seemed fine but he had a slight s curve to his figure, a couple weeks later he seemed lethargic so we did an extra water change on top of his weekly change,
by accident had the water too warm when we put him in... Felt really bad , we almost lost him from the temperature shock, started twitching and falling on his side face down but acting quickly transferred him into a glass with cooler water. I rotated the glass for about half an hour so he could breathe without over exerting himself, he is staying upright by himself now just resting at the top breathing bubbles every 30 seconds or so.. Gunna wait a while before putting him back in the tank..
Regardless if he makes it or not what I'm most concerned is what is causing the s shape in his body? Is seems he can't turn the other way I can't tell if it is his spine or bloating on one side..
