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

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.

If your fishes dorsoul(back fin) is down it usually means that your fish is sick. Most fish can live up to 3 months when sick. But some even longer. It all basically depends on what type of illness it has. In some cases it could be deppresion.

What does it mean when you fish lays on its side and is still breathing?
It might be sleeping, or it has a disease(don't know which kind though, sorry). Sounds like it is on it's way out. Do frequent water changes and see if the fish recovers, but make sure the water is the same temp as the tank water! You don't want to stress a dying fish!
