To cut a long story short, i noticed my oranda had fish lice 2 days ago. I think he got them from the new plant i put in the aqaurium.Anyway,i've got treatment for the tank & it seems to be working.The oranda (Luigi) was the only fish who had the lice on him (he lives with a goldfish,shubunkin & a small oranda) i managed to pick one of the lice off his tail fin (i read that you should remove all the lice but i didn't want to stress him out) so anyway, i've done a 30% water change & added stress coat but poor Luigi is just sitting at the bottom of the tank looking very sad <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
"> i read online that he may be exhausted.<br><br><div class="quote-container"><span>Quote:</span>
<div class="quote-block">Crashed on the Bottom. When fish crash on the bottom and do not swim, it is usually a sign that they are exhausted. There are many reasons a fish can become exhausted, but quite often they have been sick, before they became tired and crashed on the bottom.</div>
</div>

is this true? i guess it would make sense seeing as he's had a stressful time these last 2 days.He perks up when i feed him but sits back down again after he's eaten.I'm worried about the poor fella.<br><br>
Well this has turned into quite a rambling, i do apologise <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

Anyway, i was just wondering if any of you with some extra fish knowledge could reassure me/set the record straight.<br><br>
thank you <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
