My fish, Fionn, seems to have something wrong with him. A couple days ago we noticed his water was very cold (because our house is) and decided to get him a better heater. The new one we bought works great and we’re slowly increasing the temperature each day, but he seems to be very lethargic. He’s usually very active and swimming around but now he’s just been laying in his rock or on the ground for over a day now. I had go basically shake the bowl to get him to move and eat his food.

Any thoughts? We’re gonna be changing his water once I go home for lunch, and testing it but I’m wondering if there’s anything else we can do? Thank you!
