When a fish lays down on the bottom of the tank does it mean it's dying?

AnswerNot necessarily. Fish tend to do this when you have just changed their cage or if they are resting. A fish is certainly dead though when it floats to the top! If the fish lays at the bottom, it could mean a few things. It could be sleeping, hiding, or it could be injured/dying. You should worry if it is laying on its side or breathing strangely. If it seems healthy, the fish could just have a problem with its swim bladder, the organ that helps them go up and down in the tank. If it is a catfish and is missing a barbel, that can also mess up their swimming.

The size of your tank is also very important with determining appropriate tank mates.
