My goldfish (around 13 years old) is curled up on the bottom of the bowl. Is he dying or could he be saved?

Asked by klaas4 (2189points) January 2nd, 2010

We had a previous goldfish which died the exact same way. She didn’t get through the night and was laying motionless on the bottom, even tapping on the glass (lightly) didn’t spawn a reaction. She also didn’t have a breath, not even a slow one. We have already buried her.

The goldfish where this question is about however, survived two nights in this situation. I thought maybe there’s a cure if he’s still alive, like a tablet or an injection. My parents disagree and think we should leave him, say our goodbyes and well, let him die.

What do you think? Please..
