I have 3 goldfish, that we have had since summer, they where doing great until a few days ago, the most active one now just kind floats/hangs at the top, he isn't swimming much or anything. I haven't changed the water or add anything so it isn't from that. Any ideas, it's my children's fish they would be very upset....
Thanks,
Corinna

Hi moeell, The fact that you haven't changed any water is most likely the problem. You should be doing a 20% water change once a week from the bottom of the tank to remove debris. This also removes ammonia and nitrite buildup. Most likely the problem is high ammonia and nitrites.
