Gold Nugget curled up in the corner!!

Post by lawdawg18 »

Wife just called from the house and said that our GoldNugget is curled up in the corner of the tank.
We have had him for 3 or 4 months now and he always seemed to be doing fine. I have made a few changes in the past few days but i would not think they would have any negative effects on the the fish. Sunday I added some aquatic soil to the tank to help with some plants. The bag says safe for all fish and I did some serious rinsing before adding it to my tank. Yesterday I added a piece of drift wood to the tank that I purchased from a fish shop. The driftwood was boiled on and off for two days and had been soaking in some tank water for 3 days. All of the other fish are doing fine. I can not test the water at this time since I am at work. I may try to talk my wife through the testing process over the phone.
Any suggestions on how to save the Goldnuggett, or what could be the problem??

I would have her do a 30% water change, if it was me. It can't hurt, and might be the difference in whether he makes it or not, IME.
