I have a comet, rather small at maybe 2 to 3 inches, that I noticed last summer having trouble swimming. In the fall I found it laying on the bottom and though it was dead but when I tried to net it, off it went to a different area of the pond. So it went thru the entire winter. All the other fish disappeared until the weather improved but every day that comet would be found in a different area mostly in the shallow end of the pond, 2' at most.
It's now warming and it lays on the bottom and struggles its way up to the surface during feeding. It was having such a hard time actually getting to the food, I started looking for it and, when it comes to the surface, throwing a bunch of food nearby. It is having more success eating before it runs out of strength and falls to the bottom.
Has anybody experienced anything like this?
