What do I do when the fish stay on the bottom with clamped fins, are skittish, and refuse feed?

    This is usually a sign of high ammonia content. Do a water test to confirm this (anything over 0.1 ppm ammonia is high and can be lethal to some species).

    Carry out a water change, cease feeding, and take steps to improve the water quality either by filtration (in the case of tanks) or by through-flowing clean water in the case of ponds.
