Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on my very sick comet. What happened was he got stuck his tail stuck in the filter a couple of days ago. We rescued him from the filter and he seemed fine except that he may have been a bit stressed and he may have lost some scales or been scratched a little.
He seemed normal over the next day or so. However 2 days later he started acting lethargic and hanging around the bottom of the tank. His tail was bent ever so slightly and he struggled to swim far cause his tail was bent a little. He got progressively worse and he can barely swim now and is lying on the bottom with his back arched awkwardly upwards.
Can anyone help me and tell me how to ease his pain? Or tell me what is wrong with him? Does he have an infection or did he break his tail?
