Answer #1

I have noticed one of its fins isnt the same as the other and its quite a bit smaller so im asuming that thats the cause of the problem. I have named him elvis, but im reconsidering caling him nemo haha

Answer #2

I had a fish that did exactly it. I ended up giving it brain damage trying to save it’s life. Well anyways, I’m sure your fish isn’t going to last very long, it’s probably brain damaged, or has a damaged gal bladder, which is the device inside of it, that helps it submerge at certain depths. Your fish isn’t going to last long, prepare for the worst.
