Question my goldfish had been dull for the past two days.today i found it motionless at an angular position(i.e not in a horizontal position)in the fishbowl.i have kept my fish in the freezer along with some water(as i remember reading on a website that if your goldfish is about to die then keep it in the freezer).what should i do now?my other goldfish hasn't eaten food.is something wrong with it too?
Answer Ankita, Your first problem is you are trying to keep a goldfish that is going too get very large and can potentially live for 15 yrs in a fish bowl. They give off a phenomenal amount of wastes they need to be in a tank with filtration. If you want to keep fish in a bowl I would recommend bettas if you want more than one go with females. Freezing them.... the scientists are still out on that ... fancy goldfish don't hibernate like pond fish and do not go to sleep like them... the most humane way to euthanize them is ambesol(tooth stuff) .... it makes them numb and then over dosing them on vodka,crazy huh. Good luck, tina
