rancidmolly Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Jul-2004   | my fantail looks as though he has had a stroke, with the left side of his mouth not moving and then someimes when he eats his jaw looks like it goes out too far and then can't bring it back in again, is it possible that he can have had a stroke, and if not what could it be??? also my sisters comet is changing colour all of a sudden, it was very orange and now he is changing silver around his head and around his gills!! what could be the problem?? |
