Could be water temperature!

Rubbish pet shop?

Thumbs down Re: goldfish

We had a poorly goldfish and my Mum gave it a drop of Brandy! I would not advise you to do this! It swam round the sink very quickly after this, then sadly died! This was a long time ago and my Mum thought it was a good idea at the time!

Have you perhaps got a high chemical content in your tap water? I know ours here is disgusting. I couldn't drink the stuff. Have you tried filtering it?
