One of my Orandas has been sick for a few days now. I first found it floating on its side at about mid depth in the tank. I though it was dead so I scooped it up with the net but it came to groggy life and starting swimming so I let it be. The next morning it was laying on the bottom. Again I thought it dead but it wasn't. So now i have it in a large dip net whick I have propped up to keep it at the surface and upright. It's still swimming around in the net, not just laying on its side or on the bottom of net. It's gold coloring is fading out. It's eating just fine though, still seems to have healthy appetite. It has no sores or other exterior symptoms except the fading of its color. Its in a 200 gal tank with about 35 or 40 or so other fish who all seem healthy. Mostly goldfish but a breeding population of swordtails too. Again, its listless and faded but with a good appetite. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Thanks.
