Hi all, my Bgk is in a relly bad way i was peeking at his tank this afternoon and saw it lying on the floor and i paid no mind cos as we all know BGk's swim in the oddest positions..It wasnt until a few hours later that i saw him on the floor still, I thought it was dead saw i poked him and thats when he moved and i started observing it thats when i noticed that it as having a hard time simming around and that it lies at the bottom sort of like it was paralized at the dorsal fins..I dont know what happened to it, it doesnt have a tank mate or ornaments in the tank that could seriously injure it..But i do see a little redish mark on its tail...help please :(

What are the water parameters? Have you cleaned anything in or around the tank recently? Any aerosol sprays used in the room?
 
I wasnt able to check the parameters cos I transfered it to a tank with healthy water i didnt ant to risk it ..and before i culd check the maid cleaned out the 2.5 gal tank it was in, I dont know what happened all i know is it had a water change in its old tank before it got this way It was about 30 %....!?!?!?!?
 
The reddish spot on its tail is bigger, I think its tail is broke thats why its floundering about at the bottom swimming clumsilly...Will this heal and can he recover or is it like a horse thats gone limp, and that i have to euthanize it..help please i gotta do the right thing rather than let it suffer...
