Have a red and white comet, it appears to be on its last legs, lying at
bottom of tank,only swimming when it has too . It was brought home from
the pet shop about a year ago, is there anything I can do to put some
zing back into it? As a year seems a long time for a goldfish but
people have been telling stories of when they were a kid they had a
goldfish for 5 years.
