A little over two weeks ago, one of my goldfish started sitting at the bottom of the tank all the time and I noticed some abdominal swelling.
I moved it to a different tank a little over a week ago and tried feeding it peas, because I thought it might be constipated. I couldn’t get it to eat them though.
It also started to pinecone a bit and the swelling got worse on one side (second and third picture)
I started doing Epsom salt baths on Sunday and raised the temperature to about 26C (78-79F), and after the first time, the fish started laying inverted in the tank (fourth picture).
Now about a week later, the swelling seems to have gone down a little and it is swimming slowly around the tank. But it won’t eat anything.
Is there something else to do, than continuing the baths and hope it starts to act normal again?
